Review on 🍲 Instant Pot Duo Plus 6 Quart 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker: The Ultimate Multifunctional Kitchen Appliance by Ken Perry

I have nothing bad to say about the pan. It's a pressure cooker and a slow cooker, but they try to sell it as more than that. Most functions and buttons are superfluous here. And the worst thing for a chef is that it takes away a lot of control over the preparation of his food. My first stew there was a disaster. the veggies turned into mush and the lid was pressure sealed so I couldn't get it out. With a traditional pressure cooker, you have the option of pouring cold water over the lid and using the quick release method in those cases. My other problem is that it takes a long time to reach the pressure. My regular pressure cooker (Kuhn Rikon) typically takes 5-7 minutes to reach pressure. This can take up to 15-17 minutes, or even longer if something is frozen inside. This means the food cooks/cooks quickly before the pressure timer even starts. And then you also have to be prepared for how long your food has been locked up. Cooking food for a long time after the pressure timer has expired. Generally people love these pots and the only thing I like is that I can put something in and forget about it if it's something like dried beans or rice on a rice crust. Just add the ingredients, press the lid, press the button and you're ready to go. I'm sure this will be a great feature for busy moms. I'm a chef so of course I can figure out how to use any kitchen utensil/tool and cook something delicious. But ultimately, I want more control over my eating and my results! :)
