My wife had a instapot and I had never used it but she has alot, she seen this https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-38812 ... lsrc=aw.dsand wanted one, I said why not, I buy new brewing and BBQ stuff, something you want then get one. Well I tried it today for first time on hard boiled eggs and was the cats a$$. 5 min cooking under pressure and ice bath and the most easiest to peal and perfect hard boiled eggs ever. I am a believer. Anyone else have one of these units?

Made 5 doz pickled eggs today but done 72 hard boiled because grandson and others were eating them before could get them in the pickling juice.

I've got a pressure cooker and an air fryer. If I didn't already have them, I might consider this. Nice to be able to cut down on how many appliances are taking up space.

I intended to get rid of my crock pot when I got my pressure cooker. The only reason I haven't is that I'm really comfortable with making corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot and somehow just don't trust the pressure cooker for that. So I keep the crock pot to use once a year.

I have an Instapot and use it all the time. I don't really need an air frier version since I have a nearly commercial like convection oven that can hit 600 degrees (an air frier is basically a convection oven in miniature).

I use the yogurt setting to make fermented batters for things like Idli, Dosa, Uttapam (Indian food).

All that said, I've never tried to pressure cook eggs. I guess I'll need to try it now.

We have the Ninja Foodie pres cooker / air fryer. We use it at least once a week. Hard boiled eggs are a regular. We did a beef stew last Sunday. Beef melted in our mouth. Tasted just as good (maybe better) than sitting in a crock pot all day. I forget how long it cooked but I think start to finish was around 1 hr.

The clean up is so simple and easy.

Caveat - the quick release pressure button scares the hell out of our dog.

We have the same Foodie with air fryer and pressure cooker. Love it! Don't use the air fryer that much but recently we did 2 huge chicken breasts with only 5 dry ingredients, cooked them 8 minutes on each side and the outside was tasty crispy and the inside was literally the juiciest chicken breast I've ever had!

The wife had an InstaPot and really liked it but wanted a air fryer and liked the idea of all in one. So she got this one and gave one of our daughters the InstaPot. This is the first time I ever used it myself. I am still big on using a crock pot for a all day cook on chili or pork chops.

I used to use the crock pot for all kinds of things. Now, the only time I use it is for corned beef and cabbage and I'll probably eventually learn to use the pressure cooker for that. I still use the rice cooker to cook wheat berries, but if I'm using them for soup, I'll just toss them in the pressure cooker.

I got rid of my rice cooker, because the Instapot makes perfect rice.

I probably need to pay with the water to wheat ratio a bit and get it down pat. I haven't tried in the pressure cooler for a while, but I think I was using too much water. That's not a problem with a rice cooker because it just keeps going until all the water is absorbed. My only problem with the rice cooler is that the way it determines that all the water is absorbed is that the temperature gets above 212. Since I'm at an elevation, water boils at a slightly lower temperature, so it can overcook a little.
