Overall this is a great product. I wish this product showed the exact degree in Fahrenheit at which it is actually cooking at all times. It is disturbing to push HI or LOW and not know what that really means.Above certain temperatures you can mess up your recipe. Below certain temperatures you can mess up your cooking. SO why not let the user see what is actually happening? It is called transparency. In cooking it is called quality control. And most cooks are well served by know when in the cooking cycle and at what temperature a food is at.A very sad engineering oversight.This becomes more dangerous when the wrong temperature — too low for too long — can actually create the perfect environment for culturing bacteria. I was shocked to learn this the hard way.I was cooking a SLOW cook menu. I set the SLOW cook time to 3 hours, I set the temperature to 175 degrees.Yet 2 hours into the cooking cycle, I noticed there was no simmering yet. So I placed the thermometer into the stew and at the end of two hours this SLOW cook cycle was only operating at a temperature of 107 degrees ! ! ! !Think about that. The user expects a 3 hours SLOW cycle and for 2 long hours there is no cooking going on whatesoever1 Worse, the slight temperature rise from room temperature to 107 degrees has created an optimum environment for the rapid growth of bacteria. This is a major consumer safety issue. SLOW cook is not safely accomplished in this manner. Food should always brought into a safe zone – yes, even SLOW cooked food – as soon as possible. Temperature should have reached at least 135 to 145 degrees – and even safer to 165 degrees before the SLOW cook stabilizes. Please don’t be fooled by the way INSTANT POT interprets the term SLOW COOK. They mean NO COOKING for most of the SLOW cooking cycle. In fact, they mean dangerous environment for stimulating the rapid growth of bacteria for most of the cooking cycle.I called there technical support on this issue. Their technical support team was unaware of any such food safety requirement!! Their techncial support team said that SLOW cook just meant slow cook.Too many engineers. Not enough cooks involved.They said they would bring this up to appropriate persons and get back to me. They have not gotten back to me.

This is my 2nd one. I used my first till it just died.It’s not you classic instapot pressure cooker. But dont let that stop you.Full disclosure, I thought I found a cheaper instapot classic. I have all the models of instapotFirst off super easy to clean = reallyYou can make rice , to stew. , chili to roast beef.Sadly I haven’t found even the YouTubers using this amazing product.There is a saute option that works really well.The time is the best part. I’m jewish orthodox and on the sabbath you can’t use electric or cook. All had to be done before the sabbath.A very traditional meal on the sabbath day is called cholent . ( like a meat stew. )Here is what I do before the sabbath Friday.1. Saute onions with oil it’s a half hour by default so don’t forget to mix ingredients.2. I take the neck bones and saute3. Then I cut up the potatoes4. By now the saute is done5. I add all the rest ingredients ( barley , more oil , paprika , salt and pepper, water ( I use beef broth )Ok now the best partOnce you have all ingredients together set it to stew you can vary times I use 2 hoursThe cholent after 2 hours of stew is perfect!!!!Right before the sabbath I give the stew a mix and set it to slow cook. You can choose to cook for up to 24 hours . Which is something a crock pot can’t do.I have people rave about my aura instapot. Spread the word. Maybe others will join us2.

This is actually the second one that I have purchased. The first one I got at a local store. I loved it and used it a lot. However, I took it to a family get together with a roast in it. I did that rather than mess up another carrier. One of my sisters decided to cut the roast in the pan (which is non stick) rather than removing it. It really only needed a fork to shred as it was very tender. Long story short she made a long scratch in the bottom of the pan. It still worked great but it bothered me. I gave it to one of my granddaughters and finally found this replacement on Amazon.

I’ve had this Instant Pot for over a year and am just deciding to write a review. I bought this to replace my Crock Pot. After all this time and trial and error, I’m disappointed in its slow cook ability. My traditional Crock Pot recipes don’t work with this unit. They take significantly longer. I recently started using the Sous vide function and it’s amazing. For those of you looking for a traditional style Crock Pot, i don’t recommend this. It just doesn’t seem to keep the heat that ceramic crocks do.
