We gave 1 to each family at Thanksgiving for Christmas gift. They've used them several times and rave about them. SIL and son say never had better tasting soup in their life. I bought the real Insta pot because it's got the stainless steel inside.

You can't can in the electric Instant Pot. I don't know about other electric ones though, just this one.

Tell me more about this pressure cooker for canning, brand name, size, can it be used on a flat top range or does it sit on the counter, etc. I have looked at the Pro XL but have seen mixed reviews on it so am needing more information. Thanks a bunch.

I purchased one for myself on Black Friday thru Amazon, I have only used it once so far. My oldest daughter raves about hers and uses it all the time. I bought one for my other daughter and my son and his wife for Christmas. Not so sure that was a good idea for my son since they are vegetarians, but I guess they can make yogurt and rice and egg type stuff!

I have the Power XL and it came with a canning book. I have used it for pork loin several times. Not pretty, but tender and tasty.

Alyce, I got one for Christmas, I love the Instant Pot, it was a great investment. I have made several different meals and they are all flavorful and yummy. I use a lot of herbs when I cook and this method seems to help the flavors get into the food better. We are now going to try a cheesecake in it.

I finally got an Instant Pot and made a whole chicken. I found a recipe online. We loved it. It isn't a crispy skin
version but the chicken was tender,juicy and flavorful. I only added a cup of liquid but it made about 6 cups of delicious broth. Brought up to pressure, cooked 25 minutes and used natural pressure release |
Last night I made pork tenderloin in mine, and tonight I made a spaghetti sauce. I love that I can saute in it. It is so convenient and it doesn't heat up the kitchen.

I've made jambalaya and risotto. And it makes the best rice. Better than the rice cooker.

Anyone else still enjoying the Instant Pot? I use mine a few times a week. No failures yet. One recipe needed more water, but I added it and restarted and it was very good. Made "baked" potatoes in it last night. So easy to set and forget. We don't like crisp skins, so didn't finish in oven.

Curious...what is the actual brand name of this product? Several on market. Also, is there an amount of time needed to build up the pressure, as on one used on stovetop? How big is the pot that holds the food....not the one on tv that shows 1 or 2 cup capacity......
