\I have both, and it's pretty much all I use. The oven gets turned on about once a month or less.

Instant Pot - risottos, curries, stews, casseroles, anything that needs a slow cooking

Airfyer - cooking meat, steaks, frozen things, sweet potato fries

I literally just bought a pressure cooker and the first line on this thing is "No more rattles and hisses"

Is this a better yoke?

Have both also

My oven only gets used for pizzas

Fire a small chicken into this and it's done in an hour, small drop of water is all I add
It won't beat a roast chicken for taste though imo

I cook all my curries in this :, butter chicken, Madras, chicken curry, casseroles, bacon and cabbage, lamb, beef etc

It's silent once it reaches the right pressure (15mins or so)

I just bought this! Can anyone recommend cooking accessories to cook two things in it at once like a curry and rice?

masterboy123

Your dishes sounds yum. Any chance you get share some recipes or online link please?

Do you pressure or slow cook the above?

Just wondering about adjusting duration (if it's needed).

Had my eye on one of these for ages

The only thing I pressure cook is the Chicken

You can check it anytime and it easy to adjust if slow cooking

I’m tempted by this offer ,only thing holding me back is I was waiting for the ultra model (couple of extra features) but no sign of it’s release for here

dory

Currently £69.99. Is that the 60% off price? I'm tempted as well. Was going to buy a George Foreman but might get better use out of this.

masterboy123

Original price is 170 pounds and currently on for 70 pounds.

Thanks. Very tempted. I need to start cooking more than fish and potatoes!

dory

Bought one! Came to €72 in the end. Amazon wanted €76 if I were to pay in Euro. Paying in Sterling with the N26 card saved a whole €4! Thanks for the tip.

Gadge

Thanks op, I was in the market for one of these

RoYoBo

Best kitchen gadget I ever bought. I have 2 now - got the second on Prime Day at the same 69.99.

My favourite things to cook with this: Yogurt, Risotto, Curries, Gammon, Brisket, hard boiled eggs (shells just fall off), Chicken from frozen (when I've forgotten to take it out), thawing/reheating home cooked meals and, of course, spuds.

I also use it to prove bread and to make mulled wine. It makes fantastic cheesecakes too. So many uses ....

Caranica

Almost jumped on prime day. Very tempted now but as I'm almost always just cooking for one so not sure if I can justify it.

If you have decent freezer space, cooking for one in an IP saves a fortune in both money and time. Also, the timer and Keep Warm function is great for having a hot meal ready to eat when you get home from work.

Caranica

Thanks. Picked one up there, remembered for once to use smile.amazon.co.uk to get a donation for my chosen charity. Small but every penny counts

dingding

Thanks OP, Just ordered one.

masterboy123

Great, you all are welcome.

I've been thinking about one of these for a while now. I haven't been cooking properly since our daughter came into our lives- I just don't seem to have the time.

Does anyone have any links for recipes?

masterboy123

We will get more recipes in the coming week.

You can check this thread for butter chicken recipe.

You'd not want to do that. White rice takes 3.5 mins to cook in the instant pot! Just cook it off when finished curry

masterboy123

3.5 min from the time you put rice and water? Or from the time it builds up the pressure?
And is it basmati rice?

Seriously tempted by this, I tend to use a slow cooker every week day during the winter. Can I just check I'm reading it right, this is a slow cooker too, but does quick stuff using pressure cooker? Would this be a good size for 2 adults 2 kids?

masterboy123

Say Hello to my BIG friend

893bet

Ok! Ordered one aswell!

masterboy123

Hahah. Made first dinner. Turned out well
Let's see how it runs on longer term.

Is this model big enough for 5-6 people for say a curry or casserole?

Why you make? And how long it take?

masterboy123

Yes It is. 5.7 litre capacity.

I made chicken and chickpeas curry.
Took 10 min once pressure started.
Was definitely quick!! And fried onions in the same pot.

Yogurt from it is class.

White rice too, 3 mins high pressure and 20 natural release. Equal quantity of rice and water.

Octopus took like 5 mins on high.

I highly recommend.

masterboy123

Any recipe for yoghurt please?

Are these not the same (or similar) as the King Pressure Pro 5 litre which are available in did for €69.99? It’s also a slow cooker/pressure cooker. Might be an option for some

To ask a stupid question, 3 on high and 23 release - is this a 23 minute time from putting it into the pot?

Or does it need time to build up as well?

masterboy123

Depending on the quantity of water, it will take 3-6 min to build up the pressure.
To make things quicker, I cook longer on high heat and release the steam manually.

So I cooked chicken boneless cubes yesterday, 1 kg.
Took some 3 min to build up pressure, then went on high pressure for 7 min. Then I released steam manually.
So total time 10 min from the time I put in chicken and close the lid.

Ofcourse I did saute onions, spices, etc in the beginning which took additional 5 min.

Steaks ? In the Airfryer? Really ?
How'd I never think of that?

Must try that next time now...

Thanks

Mine arrived today. I'd selected amazon packaging but it came in an instant pot box so amazon gave me a £5 credit.

masterboy123

Hmm.. Didn't know this way to save money. Mine has instant Pot packaging. Could I still try to get credit?

Did you specifically select amazon packaging? I did and it's on my order so had a genuine issue. Mine was delivered to work hence my asking for plain packaging

masterboy123

Ah ok. I didn't know if we could choose different packaging options.
Well, enjoy the pot
