Totally agree with above posters. I have 3 Instant pots - I use one or more most days unless we have leftovers. We both love leftovers. I google "instant pot recipe (fill in the blank) for whatever you like. You will get lots of choices and just look around for the one that appeals to you. You will get a knack for the process and then know a little liquid, meat or whatever and spices/flavorijgs of your choice and then cook. From all the comments on the Instant Pot Facebook page, the slow cooker function is not as good as a crock pot. But if you google and ask "convert crock pot recipes to instant pot" there are many recipe conversions. My instant pots have rejuvenated my cooking. Mr Stitchnripper is thrilled. He would never complain because that would be the last meal I ever made for him but I'm sure he was tired of a chicken breast on the George Foreman and a bag of vegetables from the microwave. He would cook if I asked but I'd rather do it.
