I have the Instant Pot. There is an Instant Pot community on FaceBook if you are into that sort of thing. Mine holds 6quarts. There are 7 quart and 8 quart Instant Pot sizes. It does take a few minutes to come up to pressure. Something frozen would take longer. My baked potatoes took 8 minutes to come to pressure. I set it at 13 min. but they were big potatoes and I think 20 would have been better. And then I came back later when we were ready to eat. I know I could make them in the oven, but, I am enjoying the Instant Pot. For us it makes the best rice, better than the rice cooker and I gave up stovetop a long time ago. too much watching. Apparently if something is amiss inside, it shuts itself off, instead of exploding!!

We bought the Instant Pot just before Christmas and have used it a few times. So far, so good. My only issue is that I don't like to keep small appliances out on my counter unless I use them every day (ie coffee pot and toaster oven only). And I don't have the cupboard space to store it, so I keep it right outside the kitchen in the garage. I'm sure I'd use it more if I kept it on my counter. My niece, who talked us into getting the Instant Pot, uses hers 4-5x/week.

I can see your problem. I dont keep much on counter either. No coffee pot or toaster oven. Toaster stays in drawer until I need it. Don't mind the instant Pot being out. I just made popcorn in it using the sauté function. Just to see if I could. It was very good.

Oh, Alyce, you got me at the popcorn! Among other good things about pressure cooking, I'd like to find a good way to get away from microwave popcorn. How long did it take to make popcorn?

Thank you for the info!

We gave our girls IP's for Christmas and they rave about them, but not as much as one son-in-law does. He thanked us because he said he ate good before, but even better now.
