Size: 8qt
[update]10 qt review: Since I wrote a review for the 8 quart, I have purchased two 10qts and one 6qt. I bought a 10 qt for Thanksgiving for myself and one for my son for Christmas. I got him the 10qt because it was cheaper than the 8 qt. But he complains he has no room in his kitchen. So then I bought him the 6qt and kept the 10qt for myself for Thanksgiving; and I’ll give my son a choice between it or cash. Hopefully he'll take the cash instead, because I could use the smaller one for broccoli and smaller dishes. Anyway, the 10qt is large. I get 1-2 more quarts of bone broth from it. The main problem I have with the 10qt is there are no accessories made for the 10qt! There are the 8qt accessories, but those are small, and if you per chance buy the baskets that fit 6-8 qts, you are buying 6 qt baskets . Those are much smaller and leave too much wasted space. SOMEBODY!! PLEASE MAKE 10 QT BASKETS!!! I can’t even find a 10qt insert replacement. So I’m glad I at least bought two pressure cookers. Someone complained about the weight of the pressure cooker not fitting the lid. Well, I’m not proud of admitting this, but I got angry and banged the heel of my hand down on the weight and now it fits. What did I do? I don’t know, but it fits. Maybe I should pull out the other 10qt lid and compare them. But it does work. There’s not much else to say that I didn’t say in the review of my 8 quart pot below. If you are trying to decide between the 8q and 10q, I would recommend the 8 quart...at least until they begin making accessories. If you’re going to cook most things in the basket, the largest basket is the 8q. This leave a lot of space in the 10q to pressurize, which also takes more time before the timer begins. It also takes up more space on the countertop. Frankly, if you’re making bone broth, it’s going to be thinner (not as gelatinous) if you add more water, which, if the basket is full, you’ll want the water to reach the top of the basket’s contents. You can’t add many more bones in the 10q than you would in the 8qt; and again, it will take up more time to pressurize with subpar results. I have to wonder if the 10q was a ditched idea or afterthought, since nobody YET has made accessories to go with it. But, hey! You do you! If you think you’ll do better with a 10q, you won’t hurt my feelings. Either way, the instant pot is one of the best decisions I’ve made in 2020, and I don’t regret buying the 10q. I cooked a ham in it, and it turned out pretty good. [end of update] 8 qt review: This isn't Grandma's stovetop pressure cooker!! My goodness! I first used it on chicken breast and broccoli. Yep. I was talking to my sister on the phone about my new instant pot, hoping to glean tips from her, and I had the chicken cooking. Suddenly it began hissing and spitting and steaming. I literally jumped back and asked, "Oh my gosh! What's happening?" She said, "I don't know! What is happening?" So I described the evil emitting from the top of the pot. She said, "You didn't do the water test, did you?" I did NOT do the water test. I told her it smelled like plastic was burning, and she assured me that was normal, too. It was all normal. It's all the magic of the instant pot! I also thought it was broke because the pressure release valve would not release pressure unless I pulled the lever and held on to the switch. I learned you have to PUSH the button DOWN for a continuous hands-free release! You can pull the lever to the side to release a little or you can push DOWN on the top of it to allow it to release it all at once! AND you can pull the lever while it is autoreleasing, and it will stop releasing. The cool thing about my particular model, besides having holes in the handles to set the lid, is it automatically sets it to pressure, so you don't have to push anything on the top of the lid before starting it. Also, the steam releases from a different spot than on the same lever you pull to release. I would definitely get scorched with the other models! So, I got the 8 quart, and I don't regret it, even with just hubby and I. We drink bone broth like crazy, and this pot makes five quarts. I freeze some and drink some. Also, Thanksgiving is just a block away, and this is going to come in handy! I wonder if I can jam a turkey in this bad boy? So what do I think of this instant pot? If you have read this far, you're either totally nuts, or you really want an instant pot. I have no regrets! I like this more than the microwave. Oh! And my first meal turned out delicious! One thing to keep in mind if this is your first: an instant pot isn't REALLY instant. It takes a while to built the pressure, takes time to cook the food, then takes time to release the pressure, if done naturally (without you releasing it...but you can do that too). However, like my sister said, "It may not be THAT instant, but you don't have to babysit it". She's right again! You can set it and not worry about whether it's going to boil over or boil dry. You can throw the food in, set it and spend time with your family. AND as far as bone broth goes, you don't have to cook it for 24 hours! Four hours, TOPS, and it's not really that long. Some cook it for an hour. So, if you are still reading this, well, bless your heart! You may need a few sessions of therapy, or you really want this pot! In either case, I think this is the only time I've ever encouraged people to buy the pot! Go for it! You know you want it! Just say, "No problem! Ring me up!" You won't regret buying the Instant Pot! I am not affiliated with the sellers of Instant Pot or Instant Pot company or Amazon. I'm not making ANY money off this review. I just love the Instant Pot that much! ... show more

  • Use it every week!
I purchased this during Prime week and I can say I have never regretted it one bit. I use it every week and sometimes more. It cooks so quick and the meat is tender and juicy and the soups and beans are fantastic. I fix dips and full course meals with my Insta Pot. I love it! I think I may get another one so I can use them both at the same time and be able to cook more in less time. ... show more

  • So far so good
I just bought this yesterday and have been trying the basics. 1. Sautes - yes, did some onions. With the stainless steel you need a lot of fat so I ended up spending an extra $16 to get the ceramic non-stick pan today. Will see how that helps. Anything starchy like potatoes will absolutely stick unless you drown it in fat/oil... and it created a nice fond (aka will eventually burn) so I had to deglaze quickly which ruined the crust I had developed on my cubed potatoes. Ended up putting everything into a skillet on stove to salvage my breakfast and get it crispy without having to add a ton of oil or butter. 2. Scramble eggs in saute mode - yes, same problem with too much fat needed though. Also, used saute on low. Normal and high was too hot and eggs overcooked fast and got hard. 3. Boiling water - I wanted to see if this could replace my electric kettle for French Press. Yes, it can. Take about 6 minutes to bring 1 liter of room temp water to boil though. I had a race between IP and electric kettle. Kettle won in 3 minutes, but I didn't have a lid on IP either. But it worked fine if you have an extra 3 minutes haha. When I used my kettle to hard boil eggs, it was about the same speed as the IP overall from start to finish. 4. 1/2 cup rice = 2-3 servings of cooked (about 300 grams cooked weight) - yes, no problem using the rice setting. I don't need to make 10 servings of rice at one time. And yes, I normally make 1/2 to 1 cups uncooked (at the most) on the stovetop in a 1.5 qt pan. I can make and freeze but sometimes I don't have access to a freezer when traveling so I wanted to simulate "a la minute" cooking 5. Oatmeal - 1 serving, saute mode, boil water, add oats, stir, add fruit and PB, works fine. Basically, you can make anything that requires boiling of liquid using saute mode. 6. Garbanzo - no soak, for hummus and salad and will make falafels. Followed the IP instructions, came out perfectly. 35 minutes and done. Wow. 7. Will it toast bread? - yes, saute mode again (basically it's a hot plate). Will only fit one slice but that's okay for just me. Took a while, and had to move it around to get somewhat even browning, but it's doable. Update: homemade pita dough (AP, yeast, sugar, water, salt, oil), did the normal proof etc, then rolled out 5 inches or so (actually just used my hands, no rolling pin required), lightly oil the base of IP pot (used both olive oil and then tried it with clarified butter), saute on HIGH, and fried the bread to go with my hummus. Took about 8 minutes (4 per side) to get it done. Obviously super slow, but still do-able. Got some puffy spots so steam is happening inside the bread. Will try smaller dough balls next time and rolling them much thinner to see if I can get more steam action inside going. 8. Hard cooked egg - yes, found a video that suggested 2 minute of pressure with 10 minutes of NPR. Most videos (to include IP) says 5 minutes of cook time (5 cook, 5 NPR, 5 ice bath = 5-5-5) but that really overcooked the egg (made it too firm and kind of rubbery). I strongly suggest less pressure cook and just let it NPR cook. Similar to stove top method of shutting off heat once the water is boiling and just cover pot and let the eggs sit in heat bath for 12 minutes for Hard. So basically (obviously), this appliance with the stainless steel pot insert on saute mode has the same uses and issues as having a stainless steel skillet. I prefer cooking with non-stick pans to avoid using all that extra fat. So it makes sense to me to buy the non-stick pot since I am using this appliance as my all-in-one-single-life-one-pot-for everything cooking appliance. I don't want one device for boiling and one for frying/saute. And I find the stainless steel to be slightly problematic (not impossible) but I figure I now have a 2nd pot, and also an extra mixing bowl/storage/prep bowl. ... show more

  • This device is a life saver and time saver
Size: 10qt
I upgraded to the 10oz one because it allows me to put bigger items for cooking in there. It is a life saver because I cook most of my meals in it, and it is so easy to use. Either pressure cook for 10 minutes or sautee for 20 minutes, or combine both. Either way, meat, fish, vegetables - all come out thoroughly cooked. It saves me so much time compared to using an oven or grill! ... show more
