Okay, for a non-shopper, and not much of an experimental cook... and no TV.... What is this instant pot that you all are talking about????? I use a small convection oven, no microwave, I have a pressure canner, and cook alot in my cast iron fry pans and a dutch oven type.... and use my revere ware all the time on the stove.... but never heard of this instant pot. I need a lesson please....

@farmerjan it's like a pressure cooker & slow cooker all in one. I don't have one but have heard of it.

We bought one for daughter and daughter in-law and they love them.

I have an Instant Pot DUO-08 7-in-1 Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker. It has a capacity of 8 quarts. I bought it on Amazon, back on Black Friday on Amazon, for $79. That same Instant Pot is now $121, from the same seller. So, I got an amazing deal on mine!

We used that same sale to buy the ones that we gifted.

I just have a 3 qt one. Its big enough for me. Got it for $40 dollars from Wallyworld. It gets used a lot.

That’s great Rammy. We all have different needs, in the kitchen, based on what we are doing. You probably use yours for cooking meals for two, right?

I bought the next to the biggest, because I knew I would be pasteurizing milk, making large batches of yogurt, hard boiling 1-1/2 dozen eggs, cooking for church fellowship meals, etc. So, I needed a bigger one than you do. Another thing I have done is to make large batches of pinto beans and sweet potatoes. We set aside one or two meals worth and then freeze the rest in meal size containers and freeze them. Then, all I have to do is pull out one meal’s worth, heat it up and voila, a quick meal when I don’t feel like cooking.
