Does anyone here have an instant pot?

[[An...]]

I am thinking about buying one and have some questions. If you have one, could you please respond? Thanks!

 

1. Are they safe?

2. I will use to cook dried beans only. How fast can I cook my beans with this thing?

3. Is it easy to clean?

4. How durable is this thing? I want it to last a long time.

 

Here is what I am thinking about buying from Amazon.

From what I read, it is a pressure cooker made a bit easier. I personally do not feel safe using them, but I am NO expert. what made you decide to try one?

I eat a lot of beans and I am looking for a way to cook them faster.

I've have one sitting on my counter unused since I bought it about a year ago.  I use my crock pot instead.

I never would have considered an Instant Pot until I tasted food from the one my daughter uses. Its results are far superior to anything coming out of a crock pot, plus it’s really fast (of course).

 

There’s really no need to spend that much for so many functions though, especially if you’re only cooking beans. These pots are perfectly safe, and have release valves for the pressure – they do not explode, as old-fashioned pressure cookers used to do.

 

This is the one I bought over a year ago (only $69.95), and it’s great.

I have one and I love it. You can soak dried beans in water overnight, rinse,  and then cook in the instant pot for 30 minutes. Easy!

Leslie,

 

Are the instructions (for use) easy to understand?

Yes, very easy.

 

Also, there are Instant Pot user groups on Facebook, and several great cookbooks available. I love this one:
