    I know a lot of people that love Instant Pots. I had one and used it rarely. My wife hated it. We gave it away and got an air fryer, also by the Instant Pot brand (the Vortex or something). I use that thing all the time.

    That said I’m not too surprised at this. Many people I’ve talked to express no interest in one or had the same experience I did.

      So interesting, because we tried an air fryer (not a dedicated one, but a toaster oven with air fryer capability) and found that we just got stale food that took forever to cool. The Instant Pot is great for cooking beans, caseroles, soups, yogurt, boiling eggs, and creating other awesome, gloppy foods that my Midwestern sensibilities liked. We don’t use ours a ton, but I’m glad we have it.

        Haha yes! If you love slop, you’ll love the Instant Pot!

        Though, all I use mine for these days is cooking dried beans or making stock. Which I use to make slop.
