(I signed in for the first time in for-EVER just to respond to this post. )
I'm another Instant Pot fan, and a completely surprising one at that. I, too, was "no more appliances in my house", but my SO bought his father one to use while he was staying with us. And, I absolutely fell in love with it! I completely (and unapologetically ) usurped it. No one was more surprised by how much I loved it than I was! I cook everything we eat from scratch so I am in the kitchen and cooking daily. No matter HOW attentive I was, things were CONSTANTLY bubbling or boiling over on the stove, not to mention all the time and energy involved. Like Sherry, I LOVE the IP for how hands off it is. Set it and forget it. I LOVE that I can start "cooking" in it and then just leave the room! No having to stand over the stove, no tending to a pot, no stirring, no lowering temps, no covering or uncovering, no timing, no worry about something overcooking or burning. I get it going and just go about my business doing whatever other chores and errands I have. I love being able to even LEAVE the house while something is cooking away. And, I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned, yet, but an Instant Pot is a pressure cooker AND a slow cooker, among many other things. It has a lot of functions, though, like Pam, I have only used the saute and pressure cooker functions thus far, but, as Sherry mentioned, it also serves as a yogurt maker. I love it just for it's pressure cooking capabilities alone, though. It's worth it just for that, IMHO, but it's incredibly versatile. Even with the time it takes for the pressure to build up, it still cuts cooking time way down, AND, again, it's completely hands off. No fussing, no mussing, nothing! I have no experience with an air fryer, but guess what? Your IP can be one, too! I came across this a couple of months ago and have been eyeballing it. It's a lid that purportedly allows your IP to function as an air fryer. I'm keeping my eye on it during the upcoming BF and CM sales. (I'm actually also thinking about getting ANOTHER IP! LOL A differently sized one, though.) I do NOT have a TO with an air fryer (I didn't even know they made those!), but a year ago I bought a Cuisinart TO with convection capability, which I love. I do NOT think it can produce food like an air fryer could, though. The IP was a game changer for me, and I couldn't be happier with it. If you haven't already inferred it, I highly recommend getting one. Let us know what you decide!

No problem The threads in there keep getting buried. In order to find older ones you need to change the time frame displayed , which is a pain. I don't know why it only displays a few recent threads and not older ones.

Here is a link to my pressure cooker board. I have made several, but not all, of them. I often modify ingredients a bit as I’m not good at following recipes exactly. https://pin.it/6xpe3npy5n7kzr
