Instant Pots

[Crouchinho]

Do people still use these bastards!? They seemed to be all the rage for a while there. Has the novelty worn off!? I'm still eyeing up one. The thing is over the years my kitchen accumulates so much rubbish from fads down the years. From shitty processors, rice cookers, slow cookers, actifryers ,dehydrators, toasters etc

So did I... I was going to reccomend the Nongshim Shin Cup as the spicy emperor of instant pot snacks.

What is an instant pot?

Just a preasure cooker ain't it?

I much rather have an halogen oven

Me too but as luck wiould have it I also have an Instant Pot.
Just a glorified pressure cooker imo, used it half a dozen times and now it's stuck in a cupboard and hasn't been used in about three years.

Very expensive for what it is but they must have a large budget for their advertising campaign as I see it quite regularly as a normal media article praising the benefits of it.

99% of these kitchen gadgets are useless. Get a woman instead.

You can't easily stick them in a cupboard out of sight when you get fed up with them :-(

I use my slow cooker more than my cooker.

Soups, stews, chillis, fish pie, cottage pie... choose one to make on a Sunday evening, let it cook over night, and dish it up into containers on the Monday morning and put in the freezer for future consumption throughout the week.

pressure cooks are top draw and quicker and fresher keeping the nutrients with less cooking time, some say its the other way saying Scientists began studying the effects of pressure cooking on food as early as the 1940s, and research includes findings that pressure cooking is both the best and worst method of meal preparation.

but for me any curries or stews and soups done in the instant pot are the way to go, and if you like pulled pork or beef then its the best and quicker way to cook and then brown in a the over with sauce or honey

Use mine a lot. Love it. 22 mins for a full rack or ribs then finish under the grill with some bbq sauce. Heaven.

Slightly off topic, but best gadget for me was an egg dome thing for boiled eggs, takes up next to no room, you just put a few eggs on it with a small amount of water and switch on.
Takes about 8 mins, knocks it'self off and all good.
Think it cost about 12 quid, thought it would be another load of crap but best buy ever - if you like eggs of course
