JUst made goulash (American style with hamburger) but used some of the same spices as Hungarian goulash. Paprika, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Worcester sauce and bay leaves. Added elbow macaroni then tomatoes- 4 minutes cook time! Happy husband.

I use my Insta pot almost every day. I have the air fryer top for the Insta pot as well. One appliance, two tops. I use the Insta pot for almost every recipe. Don’t know what I would do without it.

We use ours in FL for winter potluck dinners. Not the same crowd summer camping in Northern NY.

never heard of an instant pot so it would seem to follow that we don’t have one.

They’re great you can cook a whole meal in it in 15-25 minutes, it’s a pressure cooker, slow cooker, soup pot all in one. DW loves hers.

We have three Instapots at home of various sizes and applications. Occasionally the smallest might be packed for a trip. At home one of the pots is used almost daily for something.

No, we don’t have an Instant Pot, we use a Ninja Foodie Pressure cooker air fryer. We do a lot of our meals in it when it’s extremely hot and it cooks up fast. One of the few best things we have.

There is no better way to hard boil eggs or boil potatoes. You can do a potato salad in about 30 minutes, with eggs and potatoes in the IP. Also so quick for a soup or stew on a busy day.

The main reason we bought the first Instant Pot was because our two stove top PCs needed new safety parts. So happy to have the IPs instead, we use them so much more than we ever did the stove top models.

We have an Instapot for our home and IF I remember to take it with us in the RV; I can say in the poll rarely used. Note: When it’s in the RV, I Must say We have not used it yet…

I have a air fryer and a crock pot which usually meet my needs for cooking.

I voted “yes, often” though I technically own an electric pressure cooker multifunction cooking appliance, Instapot is a brand name like Kleenex & mine are different brands. I have an eight qt at the house and a six qt in the trailer. Love these things in that anything you cook in them is done in a fraction of the time and only one dish to wash! Perfect for RVing.

I’ve never even seen one let alone used one, but after clicking on the link above I ended up buying one. I often make ‘all in one’ meals for myself in a pan so this seems like an obvious answer.

Instant Pots are one of our main tools at home (we have three and they all get used every week, usually multiple times). However, in the 17′ travel trailer, we seldom have power, and no generator, so we only take one on select trips. We’re taking one next week, when we’ll have FHU and it will be corn season. I often take it for Thanksgiving, sometimes two, when we meet friends, usually at a SP campground. Great for steam reheating roast turkey, cooking sweet potatoes, etc.
They are a good option for us.

I would not want to waste my precious electricity by using my instapot. We boondock and only use solar to replenish our batteries. Propane is cheap and efficient so we use that for all of our cooking.
