Taxlady asked me in the dinner thread about my new Instant Pot pressure cooker. I believe it as an early Christmas present to myself on Cyber Monday. It's a 7-in1 multi-cooker and I'm pretty impressed.
Here are the basics, from Amazon: "Works as pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, porridge maker, steamer, saute/browning, yogurt maker and warmer.*
"Built-in micro-processor controlled programs: Soup, meat/stew, bean/chili, poultry, saute, steam, rice, porridge, multi grain, slow cook, keep-warm, yogurt, pasteurize and fermented rice, slow cook for 0.5 to 20 hours. -Yogurt maker function can heat milk for pasteurization and fermentation, making yogurt in either jars or cooking pot for up to 5 liter of milk. -3 Temperature settings for saute, slow cooker and keep warm functions. -Manual keep-warm setting for up to 99 hours and 50 minutes and automatic keep-warm for up to 10 hours."
I've used it for veggie stock, pork stock and for last night's duck soup. I envision using it for Mexican braised meats and chicken and bean dishes. My thought was that I could replace the stovetop pressure cooker my mom gave me, which I rarely use, and my slow cooker with this.
