What are your thoughts on the Instant Pot?

I don't have a pressure cooker and there's a vastness of pressure cooker Indian foods....

We like ours, for the most part. IP recipe times are notoriously short because they fail to acknowledge the time needed to get the pot up to pressure and down after for release, but they do the trick very well. We made tamarind BBQ ribs the other night and they were great.

I have one, and I like it a lot for the things it's good for. I am currently on an acorn squash kick, and it does them perfectly in about 12 minutes. I make an amazingly good lasagna in it as well. If you are brave, find the Instant Pot Facebook page, where some think it is the steaming second coming.

It is a handy kitchen tool to have.

I love mine. More than anything, I use it for being able to prepare sweet potatoes and various squashes within a reasonable time on a weeknight, instead of having to plan far enough ahead to allow the hours they'd normally take to cook.

I don't recommend white potatoes, though, they get... weird.

It's also great for broths, rice, turning meat into shreddable meat.

The sautee function is surprisingly useful, but you gotta watch it, because it can get real hot real quick.
