I think for me,...Hi Cindi, yes, I see your point. I think for me, I like the idea I can 'walk away' after I locked it into pressure mode. No open flame or leaving the stove on. I love my crock pots too, but in my case, my elderly father likes to take lids off things, and they never get cooked the right way. Hence me saying the best stew I have ever made. So for me, it's another way to get a meal on the table when I want it to be cooked properly. I will continue to post how much I use it and my thoughts. Thank you for the input!Ms. Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09030345385607363319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760956770584610340.post-29244245538755989952017-02-13T18:09:03.294-05:002017-02-13T18:09:03.294-05:00I've been thinking of getting an insta pot too...I've been thinking of getting an insta pot too. But after what you just described, sauteeing and browning and then cooking the stew for an hour, couldn't you have done that in a regular dutch oven type of pot on top of the stove? why spend the $95 or $59 or whatever to buy an insta pot? I don't get it.<br />Glad it worked out for you. I'm still on the fence. I like my slow cooker. No sauteeing or browning, just throw everything in the pot in the morning and have a hot dinner in the evening.<br />Thanks for sharing though.<br />I'm still thinking about it. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760956770584610340.post-84724996717187086042017-02-13T15:56:09.999-05:002017-02-13T15:56:09.999-05:00Having hesitated for a long time (over a year!) to...Having hesitated for a long time (over a year!) to use my own electric pressure cooker myself and finally taking the plunge at the beginning of the year (and then forgetting about it, I should plan on using it again!), I would like to cheer for you using your Insta-Pot! Woohoo!<br /><br />I guess I'll never buy one since I own most of the appliances it replaces, but if someone decided to gift me one, I wouldn't spit on it. Glad you enjoyed your stew so much!
