My instant pot was my second pressure cooker. The first was a cuisinart, which was a nightmare to use -- it wouldn't secure the pressure valve without.. encouragement.

I'd love to know what your favorite meal is to cook with the pot. Mine is chicken tagine.



I had the exact same experience. I gave up on pressure cooking after having the Cuisinart fail to seal way too many times.

It defeats the purpose if you have to baby-sit and fiddle with the lid for an hour hoping to get a seal.

I have only had that issue once with the Instant Pot so far and it was solved with a quick re-seating of the sealing ring.


favorite recipe?


The "Perfected Pot Roast" recipe from the "Great Food Fast"[1] book by Bob Warden is absolutely amazing.
