Redpill me on pressure cookers. How often do you use yours? What do you make? How is it better than just a pot on the stove?
>>21759161I haven't used mine for 14 years.
>>21759161I mainly cook rice in it, but I'll occasionally cook soups too
>>21759202Why not?
>>21759161>How is it better than just a pot on the stove?faster and more energy efficient
>>21759161I use it for stews, goulash, and sometimes legumes. It prevents the meat from getting rubbery and decreases the cooking time by nearly half.
>>21759161>how is it better than just a pot on the stovePulled pork / ribs in minutes instead of hoursBeans in minutes instead of hoursdelicious stews / broth in minutes instead of hoursturns cheap inedible cuts of meat into the most tender, delicious cuts imaginableIf you really have to ask you're not using yours right. A pressure pot isn't a slow cooker, retard.
>>21759433I'm asking because I'm thinking of buying one. I've never used one before. Are these things actually good at making rice and oatmeal and shit too, or are all the extra settings a meme except for pressure cook?
>>21759446yeah we use our instant pot for everything. I have no idea why crock pots took off the way they did when instant pots do slow-cooking just as well if not better, in addition to pressure cooking and making rice.
>>21759451If the pot is big can you still use it for small servings or does it mess with the pressure somehow? All the ones near me seem to be large models but I live alone.
>>21759459they have minimum liquid requirements to build up enough steam, but I think it's one or two cups of liquid, so perfectly fine for single servings.
>>21759161I'm scared of them
>>21759470Thanks anon, I think I'll go for it.
>>21759202i use one all the timebeans and soup mostlyits better because it reduces cooking time
anyone tried the Lidl one?
>>21759161im too retarded to operate one. i don't want to disfigure my face when that shit inevitably explodes
>>21759459I have the mini instant pot that is smaller than the 6qt standard instant pot. It's nicer because I don't need huge portions, and the inner pot is smaller and fits into my dishwasher better.It's absolutely magical for cooking meat. I throw 4 or 5 chicken drumsticks into my mini instant pot, with 1/2 cup of water, some bullion powder and seasonings. 18 minute cook cycle and the meat is ultra tender and juicy.
