Now that it’s been around for a few years, what say y’all? Using it regularly or relegated to the garage? If you’re still using, what are some favorites.

I use mine all the time.

Some favorites:

Beef & broccoli
Mashed potatoes
Honey garlic chicken thighs
Collard greens
Mushroom risotto

Beans are awesome in the IP because you don't have to soak them first.

Used to use it more. I use it for baby back ribs in a pinch now. Takes 1.5 hours start to finish for fall off the bone ribs. Usually broil them briefly to get a good crust. Also have a good mac n cheese recipe we do during football season

I use my Insta pot very regularly. I make things like meatloaf stew chicken, barbeque legs, soups & even red beans and rice in less than an hour. I’ve become extremely confident in using it and almost ready to do some experimentation. I even picked up a secondary one to keep at camp.

I rarely use mine. When I do, it's to fast cook dried beans of some sort.

I bought mine from a friend that got it as a wedding gift.

Don’t use it very much because it gives the meat a weird texture. Too soft for my taste.

Still use it plenty, mostly for roasts, but my wife uses it for eggs.

I use mine often for chuck roasts and speedy chicken dishes. It’s great for sweet potatoes too. Now the air fryer is a different story. I set it by the curb last weekend. I was warned I wouldn’t use it and didn’t listen

We have the ninja foodi pressure cooker + air fryer combo and we love it. We use it at least once a week for some type of pressure-cooked shredded chicken usually. Quick pot roasts and red beans are fantastic too.

Since wings are so dang expensive now, I've been buying some good-quality chicken nuggets from Costco. I'll air fry them for 12 minutes to get them real crunchy and then toss them in buffalo sauce.

Use my instant pot often to make boiled peanuts.

Never use it tbh. It's been relegated to the cabinet above the stove, you know shite up there rarely comes out

Air fryer is the only fad device that I can say I use with any regularity. Thing kicks arse, especially for reheating stuff

Use mine regularly. It's replaced the "Crock Pot" in our house.

Instapot has been relegated to storage on top of the fridge. I was never a crock pot person to begin with though. Either the textures come out a little off, or the flavoring all seems to blend together.

I have an air fryer/toaster oven combo on my kitchen counter that I use daily.

Mine is mostly used for stocks and broths. I use it sometimes for - don't crucify me - weeknight spaghetti meals. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
