Wife uses it for hardboiled eggs. Makes the easiest peeling eggs ever. Last night I ran a Chuck roast, armroast, 3 packs of soup bones and 3 packs of neck bones thought it with green chiles, chipotles in adobo, and a few spices. Had to split it into two batches. 30 minutes yielded some killer shredded beef taco meat.

It's the only reason I keep ours. Lol. I also make chicken wings in ours. I think they come out better than grilled (unless using some smoke), or baked in the oven. I cook them outside, as it stinks like hell indoors. My 8 year son does the wing sauce. Butter, various hot sauces, garlic, and sometimes hot pepper like pickled serrano. Other than that, it makes good frozen fries or tots, especially if the oven is being used for something else. Or, reheating that sort of stuff. We tried different recipes when we first got it, and they turned out just fine, but our airfryer is primarily for wings and fries. Brussel sprouts turn out pretty good too, if you like that sort of thing. Again, cooked outside as they stink like hell.

She used it three times in the last three days. She's made a ton of yogurt with it. Most everything has been good. A few things have been exceptional. The ones that were only average, were done really quick though. My buddy has perfected a fake Kalua Pig recipe with his Instant Pot. Really good stuff.

She also has been using a air fryer too. They both have a place for us. I prefer grilling pizza and wings but when it’s windy and pouring outside the air fryer and oven get the job done just fine. I prefer deep frying French fries but fries in the air fryer are pretty good too with less clean up and faster. She done some chicken last night with peppers onions and some kind of sauce. 25 minutes later it was all shredded and tender. Pretty handy for quick meals if nothing else.

The Instant Pot itself lets you cook a combination of things that you would ordinarily need a pressure cooker + slow cooker + yogurt maker + sous vide + etc., etc. all in one appliance. It's not magic. If you like cooking and like trying new methods it will be good for you. If you hate cooking or prefer frozen crap out of a box, this unit will not help you.

Some people don’t like to cook and will eat frozen crap to get their daily caloric needs met. My SD22 is one, a former BIL another. They take no joy from food, it’s simply a daily requirement.
