Pros & Cons
Pros
This is my second ip appliance, my first being the 6 quart instant pot. My initial hesitation or issue is that i have limited space to store small appliances, so, i decided to do a 2-for-1.
One pot, easy to clean, and the flavor that the recipes maintain is incredible. They taste so much better than canned, and are cheaper so this is a big plus. It crisps up food really nicely.
Cons
The bottom of the removable stainless steel pot/bowl warped completely out of shape. It seems that the dent has caused an issue with the air fryer lid not always working properly. I have to shake the lid or push it down multiple times to make it work ... Read More
I find it awkward, frustrating, messy and not a time saver. My insta pot is already dead.
You have to very frequently rotate and swap whatever you’re cooking, but the design makes that nearly impossible to do. Everytime i use the pot, it tells me that my food is burning, even when there is no food burning. It's very complicated to use and ... Read More
The taste of the food is identical to that of a slower cooker. Other features are just chilli (dries out the recipe), soup (over-cooks so veggies are mushy), steamer (does not get the moisture balance correct) and no yogurt program.
Highlights
Quality
Good quality, easy to use and clean.
Very good, i have used it for several years, it is big enough and very convenient
Doesn’t use much power and doesn’t heat up the kitchen to cook a meal.
Water ends up pooling around the lid locker and drips through the button and end up on our counter instead of into the catcher.
Price
Purchased it during a sale and cannot complainthe pan recipient does get a bit stained though.
Competitiveness
I had bought another brand and found the dial selection process 'fiddly', not so with the instant pot!
I used a similar model 8 qt instant pot for years.
