demands chili.

I'm leaving work early to make a pot of chili for dinner tonight.

We got some great chili out of our Instant Pot the other night.  It tasted like it simmered all day, but only took an hour from start to finish.

Nice.

I've been looking at those instapots, but I already have a pressure cooker. Yeah, I know the instapot is more versatile and doesn't require as much tending, but it would be another piece of kit that I'd need to find storage for.

mtnbkr:
If you already have a pressure cooker, don't bother.  Yes, you'll have to manage it manually, but the IP doesn't do much you can't do in a traditional pressure cooker.  IMO, the IP is more suited to the pressure cooker novice. 

We got one because I mistakenly thought it was "smarter" and we didn't already have a pressure cooker.  I thought maybe you could program in multiple steps (sautee, then PC, then warm for example).  Turns out, it's nothing more than an electric PC with a timer.  Yes, it'll transition to "warm" automatically, but all other steps are manual and require your intervention.

So... you were... dumber? :rofl:

Actually, I'm glad you said that, because looking at the various write ups on them over the last year or so, and the advertising at Amazon, that's exactly what I thought, as well.

So, I can effectively check the instant pot off my list of items to consider. And, I need to remember to order new seals for my pressure cooker.
