Instant Pot IP-DUO60 7-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cooker

[Ron 43]

I'm thinking about buying one of these Instant Pot pressure cookers, but I see several complaints on Amazon due to faulty liners. Does anyone here have any bad issues with one of these pressure cookers?

I have a regular stove top pressure cook that works great, but I can't leave alone. I have to watch the pressure all the time. The Instant Pot is automatic and I could set it and not have to watch it.

I would appreciate in info you could give me about your experiences. Also any cook book suggestions to use with it.

Thanks much,
Ron

Love mine. One of my best purchases ever. I use the cook book Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure, which is vegan (just leave out the oil). Some people on Amazon have complained that it doesn't have instructions specifically for automatic pressure cookers, but you just have to set the time for the ingredient that takes the longest to cook.

I have an emson which I find always works well for me. For me, any brand will work fine, compared to alternatives.

If I was buying a new Electric Pressure Cooker, I would only get one with
a Stainless steel "basin or pot".

The only other thing is to make sure it is not too small a pot. I find it convenient to put in as many potatoes as I can cram into it.
I do not use the bottom rack, as that just takes up more room. The bottom few potatoes can just sit in the "half cup" of water that I put in.

Don't over think. Just buy it. Best purchase ever for a kitchen appliance for me. It is that good.
No problem with sealing.

I use my instant pot just about every day. When one broke on me after a year of daily use (weird mechanical issue), I decided I'd definitely gotten my money's worth, and immediately bought another.

The Instant Pot is my favorite kitchen appliance. Even though I have a wonderful pressure cooker for use on the stove top, I rarely use it any more. The Instant Pot is easy,versatile, safe. The liner is stainless steel, and the pot does not require watching.

I make rice, quinoa, steel-cut and whole oat groats, and hominy in my IP. It runs pretty much all day on Saturday and Sunday making staples for the week. I plan to try out the yogurt maker feature this weekend to make my own plain yogurt. I have the stainless insert and it cleans up great. There's a fellow Dr. McDougall sent an email out about recently who calls himself the plant-fueled trucker. He uses an IP in the back oh his truck and post pictures of his recipes on his blog.

It really has been a life changer for me. On 06/16/2014 I purchased the Instant Pot IP LUX-60 and I use it almost exclusively, especially for large batches. Not one fault has occurred. I have experimented and made my own adjustments for timing and procedures. I am 100% satisfied and would not change a thing. Go for it. Oh, and clean up is a snap -- practically cleans itself if you let it decompress naturally.

Another important issue that initially prompted me to buy it: it is a very safe appliance. I have several regular whistle top pressure cookers and all of them have had accidents. Really scary stuff such as super hot contents getting thrown all over the kitchen!

No problem since we bought this gem of an appliance. After bought it and recommended it, almost all of my extended family has bought one.

I'm an instant pot user and completely happy with mine. I use it daily with no problems Ithink there are other brands of electric cooker that are also good. My experience with instant pot company has all been excellent. When i damaged the base by an operator error, they sold me a new one. It was damaged in shipping and they promptly shipped a new one at no extra cost. They reply to email questions quickly too. If you have questions before you buy, I suggest contacting them directly. Their website has lots more information that may help you decide.

I recently bought the IP-DUO60. I love it and use it almost every day. I never thought that I would use the yogurt function of it, but decided to give it a try using soy milk. My family loves the yogurt, even the grandkids. I hear people say that they won't buy one because they are afraid of pressure cookers. This unit has safety features built in so it is so nice to use. I kept hinting to my husband that he could buy me one for Christmas. He must have got tired of me talking about it so he told me to go ahead and order one.
