Yahoo! Awesome thread!

If you bought the Duo, it makes amazing yogurt. I strain it for hours in the EuroCuisine strainer to Greek yogurt consistency, and usually skip the vanilla. I have saved the cost of the Instant Pot multiple times just by making yogurt (I love yogurt).

If you like Chinese food, especially not-so-authentic Chinese take-out, you might like this one. I cut the sugar by half, it was still good.

I really like cabbage rolls, but I'm lazy. I used beef only.

Huh! I saw that device, but thought it was just a pressure cooker. So I didn't bite. I'll listen in here, for a while, to see what all it's used for. Then maybe I'll know, in time for the next sale.

I've been using the Instant Pot Smart for over a year now. Used all the modes except for yogurt. Great device, especially when I've forgotten to defrost something for dinner.

This one does everything but yogurt

In other words, it doesn't do LOW pressure cooking, only HIGH pressure. (I was just over on amazon to see what the heck this Pot was, and I saw the comparison chart between the LUX and the DUO.)

I keep planning to use the yogurt function, but keep running out of time. Also planning to make ricotta and Queso Fresco.

Well, yeah, I wondered too. "What on earth are they discussing over there?!?" That's what got me here initially!

I make a big batch of steel cut oats and then just microwave a serving every morning.

2 cups steel cut oats
1 chopped apple
1/4 cup raisins
1 tblsp hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds or any other hippie food
2 cups milk of your choice (I like almond)
4 cups water
cinnamon or vanilla if you like

Seal vent and press Manual for 4 minutes. Let pressure release naturally.

Yeah, I thought: "This is MR, it can't be what it sounds like." Well, turns out it really isn't...

No need. No inconvenience caused, just a smile.
