Instant Pot Rio Duo 6 Qt. Multi-Cooker 112-0312-01

I'm surprised by how much I like this! I've used it as a pressure cooker making chicken and mashed potatoes. I've used it as a standard crock pot and I've used it to make rice (though follow different instructions than those for rice). I've fallen in love with how versatile this machine is. I'm grateful to have it and will continue to use this!

I've been using the Instant Pot Duo Plus 8QT for a few weeks now, and it's become one of my most-used kitchen appliances. The large 8-quart size is perfect for family meals or meal prepping for the week. It handles everything from soups and stews to rice and yogurt without a problem. I love that it cuts cooking time way down while still producing tender, flavorful food. The interface is simple to use, and the multiple functions mean I can replace several other small appliances. Cleanup is also quick — the stainless steel pot comes out spotless after a rinse. The only downside is the lid takes a little getting used to, but once you learn the routine, it's easy. Overall, an excellent purchase that makes weeknight cooking stress-free.
