Y'all! I just bought myself an Instant Pot!

[CTGirl1974 2]

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.

I'm getting impatient for my birthday and Christmas! I hope I get one and just because Mommy says we'll see does not mean yes... actually its usually a "no, I just don't want to tell you no" but I can be optimistic! and get it myself if I don't get it

I'm keeping tabs on this post for all the recipes to try out!

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.)

I recently got one too - I can't say enough about how quick and easy it is. Looking forward to trying LipstickLady's stuffed pepper recipe.

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.
