I don't cook and don't have an instant pot, but I scroll by this thread and keep reading "Instand Pot Head". Never mind...

Recipe:
1 cup water 1/2 cup milk 1 tsp salt 2 tbsp butter 1 tbsp sugar
4 ears of corn stacked directly in the liquid. Cook for 1 minute.
It was good. Perfect tenderness. It was buttery and delicious. On a typical night, I'd probably just do water, corn on the trivet, cook for 1 minute. I was trying to be fanceh for the 4th!

I made potato salad in mine. Hard boiled the eggs and cook the potatoes perfectly all in one step! It was amazing and the eggs really were easier to peel.

When you say you hard boiled the eggs and potatoes in the pot, you mean, uncooked eggs and potatoes went in the pot, then you cooked (trivet?) With water and then mixed it all together with celery and mayo, etc?

Love my instant pot. I make vegetable stock and beans in it all the time.
I have the 7-in-1 Bluetooth IP and honestly, if I were buying an instant pot now, I would skip the Bluetooth. The app is nice, but doesn't do anything that I feel is worth the extra money.

I think I'm sold on this IP. The main reason I don't use my CP as often is because I don't like the texture of meats, and the dryness. @privacy , you're really selling it for me with your comments on how tender meat/chicken comes out!

You guys are really selling me on the IP. So often I don't think to defrost meat, and I feel like I might actually cook more complex meals more often. My one hangup though is DH bought me a new bigger crock pot in March to replace the 4 qt basic one we had since we got married. I feel like he might be hurt if I bought something that could essentially replace it 4 months later (granted, the crock pot has only been used a few times bc of that whole pre-planning thing, and I had read it's unsafe to put frozen meat in the crockpot). We also already have a rice cooker. So torn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've seen some posts about when you want eggs for salads to just crack them into your pot and then just dice up the egg "loaf". Saves the peeling step

Question: my BMB friend was asking if you can still use it as a slow cooker. Like put things in in the morning and let it cook all day. I would think so but I wasn't sure. Has anyone tried it?

Yes, it had a slow cooker setting. That's what I figured, since that was one of the parts to the 7 in 1. Thank you!

It does have the slow cooker setting, and when I bought it, I thought I would use it a lot because I used to love my crock pot. I feel like the pressure cooker does everything better and faster than my slow cooker anyway.

I feel like the pressure cooker does everything better and faster than my slow cooker anyway. Yeah, I think the concern was that she wanted to still be able to occasionally set it and forget it until dinner time. Which I could see myself wanting to do from time to time. But more frequently, I will think to myself "glad I don't have to use the slow cooker anymore, since I forgot to put the meal in this morning." LOL.

Oh random thought here. Whenever I am doing quick release I throw my dishrag over the steam vent so any water splattering out doesn't go all over my cabinet. This isn't dangerous, is it?

Guys!
The 7 in 1 is $79.95 and 9 in 1 is $99.95 on Amazon right now! I think I'm going to buy the 9 in 1. I would post a pic but tapatalk still isn't working. My price watcher worked!
