I just recently picked up an
Instant Pot Pressure Cooker and it's pretty sweet. You can cook meats, potatoes, veggies, beans, etc, super easy. It's not necessarily faster for meats (sometimes it is), just less work and easier cleanup. It's way faster for some things like beans though. You can also do it with a timer so put it all in the instant pot in the morning and have it ready to go when you get home. All of the meals I have tried have come out excellent so far, very juicy chicken. I've mostly just thrown like two chicken breasts on the bottom and some potatoes or veggies on the top rack and haven't tried stews or anything yet. I prefer it a lot to a crock pot, because in a crock pot if you put in chicken and potatoes, it all ends up tasting the same, but the instant pot keeps individual flavors really well. I also got a
rice cooker as well, and that thing is awesome as well. It will probably pay for itself, because I now buy those 15-30lb rice bags instead of instant rice. Much better rice than I personally ever was able to make in a pot. The instant pot can do rice as well, but I like to do the rice in the rice cooker, and then put meats in the instant pot.
