I love the instant pot especially for two things: Cooking beans and making broth.

I get a nicer texture from beans done in the instant pot than I do cooking them any other way. And I can knock out a big pot of chicken stock in like an hour. If you want it to be totally clear you have to let the pressure release naturally, but I don’t care if it’s cloudy because I’m just gonna turn it into something opaque anyway usually so I do a quick release so it’s done faster.

I also used it to cook in summer before I got an induction burner, because my apartment’s shitty electric stove dumps heat everywhere.
