Should I just give in and buy? If it makes legit red beans or beef stew in 1 hour its worth it.

Great price!

I have to say I've cooked in mine three times with some success, but I still feel like I'm fumbling around in the dark.

Boom. Just got one. I've been keen on trying one out for a long time. Had some gift cards for Amazon sitting around so why not.

Get it!! I use mine ALL the time. While you are at it buy the America's Test Kitchen Pressure Cooker cookbook. It is really amazing.

Put a beef roast in for 70 minutes and it was as if it had been in a crock pot all day. The taters & carrots only needed about 30 minutes.

And then turned around and bought it again for $118 as a gift for my son and his girlfriend.

Electronic pressure cooker, basically, but it can operate in many other modes besides "pressure cooker". It'll do "reduced pressure cooker", "slow cooker", "rice steamer", etc.

You must have had some insanely huge carrots if they cooked 30 minutes and didn't turn to pure mush.

Does the browning/sauteeing option work well? Do you do that in the insert on the stove or with the insert in the pot?

The browning works very well using the insert in the pot. I love that feature!

Possibly but I mash them up with the taters anyway.

Mine is 6 quart. I sort of wish I'd bought the 8 quart. I made some chicken stock on Saturday and it was a smaller batch than usual because of the size of the pot.

Just got one, too. Best pot roast ever. Stewed a great whole turkey breast. Can use it to brown before cooking, also works as a traditional slow cooker.

Highly recommended.

I keep hearing about these and may be interested at that price range.

The have different sizes. I'm usually cooking for 2 but like to make plenty for leftovers. May need to step up to the 6 quart for $118.68.

Thoughts?
