Instapot, schminsta pot...always about the Instapot!
The big kahuna in multi-cookers for sure. I have the Zavor Lux edge, not by choice, it was given to us as a Christmas gift. It's an 8 quart.
I dont use it much but it's my go to for ham-bone beans and I plan to use it real soon for my first run of Lamb Rogan Josh.
One thing I will say is with the 8 quart, I NEVER brown meats in it like recipes say. I hate having to reach down in to that deep pot...same with a Dutch oven. Any recipe requiring browning meat first gets browned in a skillet of some sort, be it cast iron or non-stick. I'll wash the extra pans rather than reach down in to a deep pot for browning.
The 8 quart is huge, I would have preferred the 6 quart. It supposedly makes yogurt and other stuff. I'd have to have some addiction to yogurt to do that. I DO hope to try the boiled eggs thing everyone raves about, but waiting till the wife is ready to make her deviled eggs. We just dont eat that many eggs, let alone boiled eggs...or hard cooked, or whatever they are called when they are pressure cooked!
