So, I watched GMA this morning for the segment on the Instant Pot and it was a big bust, IMO. A young mother told how she lost 100 pounds cooking with the Instant Pot. A medical professional said that the IP is not magic - HHH but can help prepare healthy meals. Honestly, that's about all I got out of it.

But, I think I am going to enjoy mine. Now that I have gotten past the fear factor, I expect I will use it pretty regularly and it most definitely can help prepare healthy food. It can also sure as hell prepare rich fatty carbs if that's your pleasure

Tonight I cooked pork chops with mushrooms, and it really was faster although the time coming up to temp has to be considered. I loved browning the chops in the pot, and then sautéing the onions and mushrooms, and finally adding the liquid & the pork chops back in to be pressure cooked for about 10 minutes! It really is kind of amazing!

I know we have some IP Lovers, so give us some advice please @Gypsy, @Jen Jen anyone else with an IP
