I have the 6 quart and they all fit. Pour a cup of Water in, put the eggs on the little basket thing, hit Manual and set it for 3 or 4 minutes. When done turn it off and let the steam release naturally. I'm still experimenting with egg cooking times so see what works for you.

Hi CTGirl, I'm glad to hear that the 6-quart size can fit 2 dozen eggs! But I'm amazed that it only takes one cup of Water to hard-boil 2 dozen eggs. Does it steam them instead of boil them??

Yes, it does. It doesn't boil them. I've read websites that say only put one layer of eggs in, where others say load that baby up! So, I went with load that baby up. ;)

Made BBQ pork loin from frozen last night. Don't recommend from frozen for large chunks of meat like that, it took longer to get it to temp so it was a little crusty on the outside, but it was still super yummy and super easy.

Will be trying some chicken tonight.

Okay... so obviously this cooks food faster than a crock pot. Is that the only difference?

No. It can slow cook but also heats up high enough to sear meats. You can use it the same as your stove top, plus it can steam and pressure cook, plus mine makes yogurt. It does other stuff too. It's handy!

Have you ever made a pot roast in the crock pot and your potatoes don't have much flavor in the middle? A pressure cooker pushes the flavor INTO the potatoes and they end up tasting like the meat. The same with the meat. It pushes the flavor of the vegetables into the meat.

I will never go back to the crock pot. I'm giving it away to my mom so she can use it on camping trips.

(It also makes rice and yogurt. I don't eat much rice since it swells and makes me miserable but that could be a useful feature for your other family members.)

My husband bought me one for Christmas! So far, I've made pork chops and applesauce and Mac and cheese in it--both were good. Hoping to make chicken lemon Soup today.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
