    Come on amazon

    Are these that good? I'm tossing up whether to buy one to replace the slow-cooker. Any recommendations on recipe websites?

    • Brandroid on 29/09/2020 - 10:23

      We got one recently (a month or so ago), and my wife joined a bunch of Instant Pot facebook groups for tips/recipes.

      Way better than a slow cooker (it also has a slow cooker function).

      By increasing the pressure it changes the boiling point of liquids inside and allows you to cook things in an insanely quick time. Unlike a slow cooker you loose little to no liquid content meaning all of the flavour remains in the dish, not being lost to steam etc. leaving the vessle.

      For recipes, you can just tack on 'instant pot' or 'pressure cooker' to any of your normal cuisines and you'll find a bunch of good sites.

      Plus look up double boiler methods for doing oats, cakes, etc. You can also do jams, yoghurt.

      • TEER3X on 29/09/2020 - 10:46

        It's not way better than a slow cooker, unless you get the glass lid for the instant pot, it doesn't slow cook very well. It's an amazing machine, but if you want to slow cook properly, get the glass lid

        $19 slow cooker from Kmart works really well

        As for their pressure cookers, they get good reviews, but I like my instant pots stainless steel pot and it gets hot enough to brown food.

          The Instantpot is great for making soups, stews etc. I bought the glass lid and I use it when making Yogurt. I’m a tad impatient so I haven’t tried it in slow mode yet. The real issue I have is getting the smell out of the Instantpot, particularly, the rubber ring but I’ve found using vinegar, bicarbonate and then pressurising seems to help. I also put the rubber ring in the dishwasher to clean it off.

          • corbz on 29/09/2020 - 13:23

            @try2bhelpful: My SV instantpot came with 2 rings that they recommend swapping between sweet/savoury meals.

        • Sammyboy on 29/09/2020 - 13:19

          My old school stove top Fissler pressure cooker beats the slow cooker any day. My slow cooker has been shelved for years.

        • corbz on 29/09/2020 - 13:24

          For any shortcomings it has in specifically slow cooking it makes up in spades in every other department, rather than the unitasker that a slow cooker is.

    • tete on 29/09/2020 - 13:21

      instant pot the actual company have a facebook group and the group has 2.8 MILLION members. That should tell you that if you have any questions they are going to be answered pretty quick. You can use the search function and there is a wealth of information. I also suggest watching some getting started youtube clips https://www.facebook.com/groups/InstantPotCommunity I love mine. I got an 8 quart from Amazon.

    This or duo nova?

      Duo nova doesnt have sous vide

      • BlitzR on 29/09/2020 - 10:31

        this one does, plus more features than the Duo SV .. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B083KM6BZS?smid=A3JCEYBC5L8UJ8

        • asa79 on 29/09/2020 - 10:32

          that is not the Duo Nova

          • BlitzR on 29/09/2020 - 10:33

            @asa79: Its the Duo Evo Plus.

            • asa79 on 29/09/2020 - 10:36

              @BlitzR: He asked about the Duo Nova

                @asa79: Sorry I didn't know that i'm not allowed to let him know that there is one with more options than the Duo SV & Duo Nova, for a slightly higher price. At the end of the day its another IP model.

                • bargain4all on 29/09/2020 - 10:45

                  @BlitzR: Local store would be better i guess. We can return to Costco if there is any issue.

                  • BlitzR on 29/09/2020 - 10:47

                    @bargain4all: Its all up to you mate. But I've never had issues with warranty claims with amazon AU/UK/US. If there are issues, I can be without it for a week or so for a replacement . Ive had times where amazon have simply given me a refund, in witch I just repurchased the same item again.

                  @BlitzR: The other one you mentioned was also a UK import

                    @asa79: which one is better? duo nova seems to be the newer one

                    • asa79 on 29/09/2020 - 12:06

                      @poormansfriedchicken: I got the Duo Nova one of the original amazon deals, and cant fault it so far. Guess its really up to if you need the 10 feautures
                      I probably wouldnt use it for sous vide as the unit would be a little small for a big sous vide job, but given that i have an Anova for sous viding

  • bargain4all on 29/09/2020 - 10:37

    But if your store in within 5k range, you can combine $15 voucher and set up auto renew and get $10 voucher, then use it with this purchase.

  • TEER3X on 29/09/2020 - 10:49

    I suggest people try making risotto in these, much easier than the traditional method and comes out pretty good if you get the arborio rice / liquid (stock) ratio correct

  • nayfon on 29/09/2020 - 10:49

    I have one and it's great (especially at the price point). I was tossing up getting the Breville Fast Slow Pro but this is half the price.

    The only draw back is that the silicone seal tends to absorb the smells of the food, so would recommend to give that a thorough clean before each use (it is removable).

    • TEER3X on 29/09/2020 - 10:52

      Yep pretty much it's only "flaw". Can't really do much except maybe buy extra silicon rings and use some of them for certain things only. Cleaning is a must, but doesn't get out the smell unfortunately.

      • asa79 on 29/09/2020 - 11:06

        Yea different colour rings for different types of food

      • try2bhelpful on 29/09/2020 - 11:51

        You can lessen it with vinegar and bicarbonate with pressurising, then put the ring in the dishwasher; but, yeah, you can’t get it out completely. However, I’ve yet to see any detectable taint of the food being cooked even if the ring is a tad woofy. Having additional rings does give you the option of using one for smelly and one for mild.

    • cheapbloke on 29/09/2020 - 11:15

      shouldn't it be a thorough clean after each use?

      • asa79 on 29/09/2020 - 11:26

        Plastic rings still absorb smell no matter how good you can clean them

  • voiletmay on 29/09/2020 - 12:17

    This is an incredible price point. I just bought one of these last week for $220 from Kitchen Warehouse (as I particularly wanted the Instant Pot brand) and had given up on Costco getting more stock in (sigh).

    Edit - Silicone seals/rings are cheaply available on ali express. I am not using mine for curries until until my extra silicone ring comes. I also ordered a cheap steamer basket from ali express too.

    • tete on 29/09/2020 - 13:29

      I agree this is a good deal especially having the SV component which mine doesn't. I don;t know if this model has the automatic sealing and safe venting of the duo nova or not because I would want that.

    • imnotarobot on 29/09/2020 - 17:33

      Do you have links for the seals and steamer basket that you’d recommend?

      • voiletmay on 29/09/2020 - 19:43

        I just searched "instant pot seal" and "instant pot steamer" basket on a ali express and just picked ones with good reviews and a good price. No idea if the ones I picked are any good yet (LOL).

    • dragonfly090 on 30/09/2020 - 13:40

      Can you please share some links?

  • dragonfly090 on 29/09/2020 - 12:55

    :-( gave up the membership and Mrs says we need this

    • tete on 29/09/2020 - 13:30

      you have to wait 2 months if you cancelled the membership and got a refund apparently
