The BEST small appliance I've ever owned! I christened it with 2 racks of baby backs & they literally were fall-off-the-bone!

I just Love this instant pot . So easy to make a meal with - the other night I got home late from work but was craving for some home cook meal but it was 9.30 pm after all - oh well , why not .....As a first time user I kind of lost not knowing what to do ( I am one of those people doesn't read instruction book ) but well , I just throw some chop up beef , whatever vegetable I found in the fridge - decided to push the pressure cooking button . Went to have a shower and there it was - my dinner was ready !!! Holy Cow , My dinner was amazingly tasty and the whole plate looks amazing . I love it - just LOVE IT !!!!

I absolutely love this pressure cooker! I have been using it for quite sometime now and it is very durable and easy to clean. At first I was a bit confused as it is different than a regular pressure cooker! But after getting used to it, I like it better than the regular pressure cooker! It cooks faster than a regular pressure cooker and is much more sleek and silent! I would definitely recommend this product over other pressure cookers!!!

I have loved the convenience and ease of cooking via crockpot and for years tried to convert others to experience the joy I received from using that method.  Simply place your items in the crockpot and set the timer, and 4, 6, 8 or 10 hours later, a hearty meal that may only require being stirred once. How easy is that?

Fast forward several years later, from the recommendation (more like insistence) of my sister, whom I had converted to crockpot cooking, I purchased the Instant Pot. Also knowing my Prime shipping would get it here quickly, I ordered it from Amazon rather than rushing to another store to purchase.

This thing is simply amazing!! It is like a crockpot on steroids. All the goodness of a crockpot, less than a quarter of the time. So not only can I drop all of my ingredients in the pot and walk away from it, I also do not have to have the pot using electricity for 8 hours. It takes about 10 minutes for the pot to pressurize before it starts the cooking process, but once the pressure is built up inside, it will not be much longer before the meal is done.

The stainless steel removable insert helps make clean-up easy. It is also much lighter than the usual glassware material of crock pot inserts.  Also worth mentioning is the steam release valve/function, it helps to make this a very safe product without the concern of too much pressure causing the lid to dislodge as could happen with much older pressure cookers. I wish this thing was around when my mom was cooking.

I have wanted one of these for while! It cooks meat to perfection a whole lot faster than a crock pot. I used to have a traditional pressure cooker, but I never used it. Let's be honest - it sort of scared me! This is so much better. I can't wait to try my hand at making homemade yogurt with it.

The reviews here helped me decide to try the Nesco and I am so glad I did!! As a stovetop model user for the past 35 years, I was reluctant to change. After much research and reading the reviews here,I took the plunge. I absolutely love this pressure cooker! It is SO easy to use, literally set it and forget it. Thanks, Amazon for having the best price on this one!

I can not say enough good things about this cooker. Since I have received it last week I have been non-stop cooking. I feel I can finally make yummy meals without stressing whether the food will come out cooked or juicy. It took me a year to finally get the nerve to buy it and I can't believe I waited that long to make the purchase. Just forewarning, once you start cooking you will become obsessed, lol. Love this piece of equipment and look forward to many a meal cooked in it!!

I love this cooker!  It browns, then pressure cooks meats in minutes!  I've made many "one dish" meals since purchasing it and wonder how I ever did without it.  I've raved about it so much other family members have bought one!  It's the best small appliance purchase I've ever made.

Absolutely amazing.  I can remove about 4 crockpots from my cupboard.  I already gave away my electric pressure cooker.  It takes a little getting used to but well worth the education.  The cookbook I purchased is good but geared to just the pressure cooker so there is some adjusting needed to achieve the same result. It is so quiet I kind of miss the hissing of the gentle rocking of the pet cock.  But I don't think it will take long to get used to the QUIET.  Worth the money.

Best pressure cooker ever i owned and will be for the rest of my life.
*First of all its pretty sturdy and looks like its gonna last forever with proper care and maintenance. Absolutely worth every penny.
*It saves energy bills and plenty of time as opposed to traditional stove top pressure cookers and other electric rice cookers.
*Stainless steel inner pot is absolutely healthy and is made of high quality.
*First time i used Instant pot and to make basmati rice with 1cup rice to 1.5cups water as suggested by the Instant pot time table and unlike i read other reviews here...NO rice doesn't stick to the inner pot. The rice cooked perfectly in 8min.
*Cleaning was a breeze too. All i did was add 2drops of washing liquid to the pot and filled it with water and 2min later the very minimal food residue just wiped away with the soft side of the cleaning scrub and rinsed the pot in water and done.
* Thank you instant pot company for making my life easier and healthier

I received the Magefesa Practika Pressure Cooker as a gift, and what a wonderful gift it is.  Brown Rice cooks in 12 minutes, beans, after soaking overnight, in 8 minutes.  Root vegetables cook speedily, and nutrients are retained far better than in steaming.  I am enjoying soups, chili, and all sorts of vegetable dishes from the pressure cooker.  Saute onions in the open cooker, add the rest of your ingredients, and in almost no time, dinner is ready.  We are on a vegetarian diet right now, but you can cook all sorts of meat and chicken in a pressure cooker too.  I really enjoy standing by the stove, after cooking a dish for 5 minutes on high heat, then removing it from the heat and watching the steam escape as the meal finishes.  This would make a welcome addition to many kitchens!

Ok so I bought a pressure cooker and didn't like it. I kept getting errors so I returned it and I saw this (because we are a meat family) and I bought it in replacement of the pressure cooker. I'm glad I did! It's fabulous!! I bought this with the intention of finally making my own smoked brisket. It was absolutely the most delicious brisket I ever tasted! I got a 6 pound piece from the butchers. I followed a you tube video on how to prepare it. I used the rack this came with and about a cup of water on the bottom. I used the cherry wood pieces from the suggested product. I actually left this indoor on my kitchen counter by the window. I never even had to open the window!! It can truly be used indoors no problem!!! It did not fill the house with smoke at all. Only at first a little smoke smell but nothing unbearable and I left the vent on the lid CLOSED. I wet the cherry wood pieces then filled both side cups to the top. I put it on 250 for 6  hours. Again, I left the vent CLOSED so the meat would get all the smoke flavor. I let it rest then used my favorite bbq sauce on it. Absolutely delicious!!  As for the cord, it IS ridiculously short but I just used a heavy duty extension cord no problem. Also the numbers could have been done in a white lettering to make it easier to read but other than those two things, really no problem at all! Going to try smoking a turkey next. :)

I purchased this to replace an good ole pressure cooker that I received as a wedding gift.  It still worked great, just not on my induction stove.  So... I researched and ended up with this brute.  Awesome sauce!!!  Love the amount of styles of cooking it can do.  It is big enough to hold a meals worth for my 4 teenage boys and 1 darling daughter, and my wife and I.  Sometimes we even have leftovers.  I've slow cooked a fantastic pot roast (I put it in from the freezer), some sesame chicken (again from the freezer) and pressure cooked it to tender perfection, and a few other casseroles that included saut&eacute;ing veg and browning meat before the slow cooking.  I love that I can do some of the precooking in this before setting it up as my crock pot... LESS dirty dishes!  Who doesn't Love that!?!  I really like this thing, so I'll be buying again for Christmas gifts and birthdays.  Sweetness!

I love to cook but can't stand for hours on end anymore cooking. We try to eat as much home cooked food, from scratch as possible... especially since we don't eat fast food. I had no experience or knowledge of computerized pressure cookers. I was always too nervous to try the "old fashioned" ones that you risked life and limb using! Ha!! My daughter got an Instant Pot for a wedding gift and was thrilled with it... she was always making really great food in it... I had to get one for myself and hope I would have the same success my daughter had with herst!!

It's everything I hoped for! I love that I can make anything in it in a very short amount of time and don't have to watch it, stir it or even worry about it. I make stews, soups, and roasts that taste like they've been cooking for several hours all in under an hour!! It's almost hard to believe! If you cook a roast you can't believe how tender it is in such a short amount of time! You can even cook food from a frozen state and it will be be like you've slow roasted it to perfection. Amazing!!  I love making beans in it... so easy and fast! Rice... perfect every single time!! I don't think I have made anything we didn't like in it. This is one appliance that does NOT just take up space - I cook dinner using the Instant Pot at least a couple of times a week.

The pot is simple to use - especially if you read the short instruction manual that comes along with it. The buttons on the front are very easy to read and to use... It's pretty much fail proof! It also comes with a small recipe book that is helpful to start out with... but I also purchased the recipe book Great Food Fast by Bob Warden and have made several recipes from the book that turned out really great and were so easy to make! There are a ton of recipes on line and on YouTube - everything is easy to make!! You can easily find an Instant Pot (pressure cooker) recipe for anything.  After a few times of using the Instant Pot I was able to transfer my old favorite recipes I've made for years into the Instant Pot which makes the family happy!

The Instant Pot is super easy to clean up - I wash it all by hand, although you can put the inner pot into the dishwasher. My only issue with the product is when you open up the Instant Pot after storing it for a few days it has the smell of whatever was cooked before. It's weird but I've gotten used to it. I think it might be the plastic ring that is used to help seal the lid. The first time I opened it after cooking and cleaning it I was a bit concerned that something was wrong with the Instant Pot, but that's just the way it is. I've been using the Instant Pot for a few months now and I have not had any issues with it at all.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants really good home cooked meals but feels like they don't have time to cook. You can make an entire meal in it or just your main dish and then heat some vegetables on your stove, serve with some fruit and you've got a meal. You can't even order and have a really great pizza delivered in the time it takes to use this!! The things you can make are endless - including breakfast and desserts! I can't imagine why you wouldn't like this product - if you want home cooked meals this is a must have!!
