I've been seeing lots of post about this pressure cooker called an Insta-pot.  So who's using them? Do you love them more than your crock pot?  What's your favorite recipes?

I have one, well I have two - we just recently updated to their newer version from the one they had out a few years ago that was smaller and had less settings. I personally LOVE it. It is one of the few things that stays out on our counter because we use it so often. It can be used as a crock pot but we mainly use the pressure cooker setting. It also comes in really handy at the holidays/potlucks to keep food warm.

I got mine not quite 2 weeks ago ... I also love a good gadget. I have been running it through it's paces...

Yogurt - perfect (I heated my milk outside of the instapot and just added the milk starter mixture to the Instapot and pressed the button)

Frozen chicken in marinade - threw it in Instapot with 1 cup liquid. Cooked perfectly, took chicken out and then put saute on, and thickened sauce.

Whole chicken for chicken and soup...partially frozen -

Black Bean Soup - used saute function to cook onions, garlic and peppers. I did soak the beans overnight although that is optional. I cooked for 25 minutes, came out very soft. Could have probably done 20 minutes as they were pre-soaked. came out perfect.

Did a buffalo shredded chicken. 1 cup total - chicken broth and Buffalo sauce with 1 packet ranch dressing mix mixed in. 15 minute cook. quick release, shredded the chicken removed at least 1/2 the liquid and then added 4oz (half brick) Cream cheese. Added broth/sauce back in as needed. Delicious.

Tried to do 2 baked potatoes but they weren't quite soft enough.

This is what I have tried so far...
