Is the Instant Pot Worth It? — The Kitchen Gadget Test Show

How’s the meat in the instant pot? Does it come out tender and super soft and melting?

Thanks 👍

I have both. I have been using pressure cookers for over 50 years so they’re not a mystery to me. My stovetop cooker sits in the cupboard most of the time. My Instantpot is used almost daily. It cooks at lower pressure than the stovetop one but it’s hardly noticeable. Cooks everything beautifully and is so convenient.

The instant pot does not achieve 15psi which traditional pressure cookers do so you do have to allow some extra time for this with the usual recipes
Also stovetop will heatup much faster they are both great instantpot is basicly a set and forget stove top you have to keep on minimum heat to maintain pressure which varies on which cooktop they both have their pros and cons i have both :)

Just more to go wrong. Use a regular pressure cooker on the stove. Much, much better.

It seems that this is not atraditio al stove but an induction, if you try that in a Gas-flame stove the results would be similar

Best thing about the instapot is it can get more people into cooking because it's so close to dump it in a pot set it and forget it.

Wanna make the instant pot more useful? Integrate it with an induction field underneath, making it pressurize in seconds. Increase pressure resistance making it reach high temps. Find a way to allow to go under running water to depressurize almost immediately. Integrade all this into the thermomix platform. There you go, the ultimate kitchen machine.

Completely agree with her. With my standard pressure cooker + induction cooktop it builds pressure in about 30 seconds 😂 compared to 15 mins in this instant pot. I can run my stainless steel pressure cooker under water making it lose all pressure again in 30 seconds while this thing takes at least several minutes.

The Instapot doesn't get to as high of a pressure, honestly you could've cooked it for about 3-5 minutes more and it would've been fine. I have plenty of experience with stovetop and electric pressure cookers. I have a Ninjafoodi and that thing will get hot enough to brown meat without a problem, I've not tried an Instapot.

unfortunately lid is not fully interior and 2nd the silicone gasket smells rubber

Thank this helped a loooooooooooot

Great chef!🤩

imma pas

Pressure Cooker is just more convenient.

2.8k dislikes and counting

From the very get-go this chick sounded very biased. I don’t know how you can do an honest review on something and sound that biased from the very beginning. The Insta pot like many things that are multifunction do a lot of different jobs but they don’t do them all perfectly. Obviously this thing isn’t going to sauté like a frying pan on a stove top but it’s a space saver. You can do all kinds of different things with it and then once you’re done you can stash it in your cupboard.

I think it was a good and fair review. Instant Pot says they're a pressure cooker so it's fair to compare with a regular pressure cooker. I can accept 30 min stew instead of 15 min stew if It's safer and don't have to baby sit it. It's good to know the difference.

She's a completely useless. How she ever gotthis job is beyond me. Can't believe she a chef. You the press button not stew.

The end reasoning is why I like my Instant Pot. I can walk away & leave the house just like a slow cooker & not be worried about making a bomb.

Now I am more confused which is the best. I just donated my Italian pressure cooker and I need to replace it but I am old school. HELP????????

Lets be honest :D the electric pressure cooker is pure junk!

I have both 1 instant pot and 2 traditional pressure cookers need them all. 💕

Yes it is. Suck an ass. Answered.

The pressure reaches higher in a stove top pressure cooker than a electric pressure cooker so it's like ⅓ cooker in cooking time

Instant Pot 12 psi vs. stove top 15 psi

I bought an Instant Pot last weekend, and I can say that the Sauté feature is crazy powerful! I had to turn it back to a normal and low setting because oil was splattering everywhere. I also don't find it takes long to build pressure or heat up either. I have an Instant Pot Viva. Perhaps your model has issues with heating up quickly?

I'm thinking about buying a pressure cooker and you definitely made me want to buy the standard one instead of the instant pot.

All appliance makes say they could do everything and I ssid no u still need oven

In my family, we've used real pressure cookers for decades. Stovetop pressure cookers reach a higher pressure (15 PSI) which results in much hotter water inside. Electric cookers only reach 10-12 PSI, which results in a lower temp and a longer cooking time. Also, a stovetop pressure cooker can be removed from the stove and allow to depressurize naturally in 5 to ten minutes, which is much better when cooking beans or meat, whereas an Instant Pot can take up to 40 minutes to depressurize. Also, a stovetop cooker can be taken to the sink, have cool water run over the lid, which causes it to depressurize very quickly, which is useful when cooking things like risotto. This is much faster than opening the steam vent.

What's her @ ? 🥵

Love love your chanel

Why didn't she heat the instapot up first 😫

For me it’s about sterilizing grain spawn for mycology (fungi) to grow mushrooms.

Does the instapot cure autism?

Great value!

Insta pot is one of those things, that when have a busy life style. Literally will change your life.

If y’all want one so bad get it wtf lol she’s just putting her opinion.

I knew everyone was gonna get defensive about their precious little Instant pot. 😂

How about washing, is it dishwasher safe?

you had me at, "...it doesnt really develop the flavors as a slow cooking method...". 🤗

I was looking for a comparison like this. It probably boils down (no pun intended?) To practicing with the instant pot. I suppose it could be made to do all those things you're willing to put the time into studying it.

All the instant pot gang rising up in the comments lmaoo

Next time get someone who knows what they are talking about

Meat??!!

What brand is that stovetop pressure cooker

"A little bit of oil"
continues to poor all of the oil in the Middle East*

she doesn't even know hot to saute. You dont put your meat into cold oil in any frying process!!! It should sizzle immediately
