I love love mine... 

Im considering buying one, not sure what I would use it for... and i dont want to take up space for something I wont :(

The yogurt could be interesting... we really like yogurt now (Im preop), so that could possibly save some $$. Maybe, I have no idea! lol

I guess the fact i could fully cook a meal in a few minutes is pretty great, too

The one that does yogurt - is 7 in 1.

I make a lot of dishes - then portion and put away for later. .. I do have an extra large freezer.. but since I work more than 40 hours - it si so much easier to just reheat food - knowing that i have it ready. 

meat stew- any meat. I even make spaghetti sauce - and use that with zoodles - my So gets real noodles. 

I made some this weekend: brown the meat (bison and beef), break it apart (no big chunks), pour NSA WF spaghetti sauce + some salsa. Close the lid and let it cook for 40 min. I typically skim the extra fat and liquid from the top.  Put taht in small jars and freeze or refrigerate.  I can make small or large portion.   

best - itis fast and I can juts put it and walk awy doing what I need to do. no burning.. or watching the pot simmer.  

I cook chicken soups  - lots of chicken - + some veggies. For my meal - I strained the "soup" and have the broth separate from the meat and veggies. 

Pot roast.

Pork chops in mushroom sauce.. 

What I like is that I can put in even frozen foods and have a meal in less than 1 hour.  Very moist and tender.   

Probably first year post op I would not use it much - but when eating "normal foods"  it is a time saver. 

It is great tool when pouch is pissed off and i need some really tender stuff..

Can someone explain to me how this differs from a crockpot?  I use my crockpot all of the time...would that mean I would like this? 

This is a pressure cooker :)

OK, I was going to describe it, but I'm totally cutting and pasting from a website :)
