Just in case people don't know already, this is made by the same manufacturer of Instant Pot and have the same mainboard and body, disassembly comparison here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f09m20BTjvM

I have this Insignia 6qt and have had my first adventures in pressure cooking with it. My advice is that most vegetables/tomatoes will "burn" in the water in the higher liquid temperature in high pressure, where the normal boiling point of 100C can go up to 121C or higher. You can literally burn the ingredients in your stew like I have 6 times already lmao. You'll know once they release an extremely bitter chemical taste that you won't get when simply slow cooking/using the oven.

EDIT: I keep getting replies that this bitterness is quite odd. What I forgot to mention is that I cooked onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes in stock at high pressure AND high temperature for 2 hours or more. At 1 hour you can start tasting the bitterness as well. So to avoid this try to keep cooking times of vegetables within an hour. Kenji Alt of SeriousEats only uses 20 minutes to caramelize 3 pounds of onions: https://www.seriouseats.com/recip...ecipe.html Any more than that and you'll taste disaster lol peace.
Just be sure stainless steel is the outside body color and not the cooking vessel.
Cooking pot is Teflon nonstick

How long does it take to cook rice?

I use (in this cooker) a 1:1.1 ratio rice-to-water ratio, and pressure-cook for 6 minutes, then natural release for 15-20 minutes. With the prep time, it is about 30 minutes, give or take.

I have this pot ($29.99) for a couple of years now, but I used it *only* to cook rice, so far. There was a learning curve, but once I got it, the rice (currently use Basmati) is really good, esp. when fresh out of the pot.

The one annoying thing is that the manual is not informative at all in explaining how to cook different types of food. There are a couple of preset modes, but - what do they mean?


The only pressure control is the safety valve, and there is no (manual) temperature control. So, what is the difference between the modes? Is it an implicit temperature control?


Take for example the "Cake" mode. Baking is a very precise science. How can you bake a cake in a pressure cooker, in some generic settings?


Or, what is the difference between "Meat" and "Poultry" modes?

Quote from PocketSmiley :
I've asked about this in AskCulinary and the scientific answer given to me is that increasing temperature catalyzes proteolysis (breakdown of proteins) by the protease enzyme found in both meat and vegetables. The proteins breakdown into further unrecognizable peptides and amino acids that give that extremely bitter chemical taste. Pressure cooking dramatically increases the temperature thus speeding up the proteolysis. My first attempts were for 2 hours, then I turned it down to 1 hour and I still got the bitterness. I now limit it to 30 minutes.

That's your problem there, you are cooking too long. This is a pressure cooker, not a slow cooker

I've had the 8 qt for over 2 years now and I've used it maybe 200+ times. I've used instant pots too and haven't seen a difference in my cooking

Great deal. I have same size InstantPot and all sorts of extra parts like steam release handles, silicone caps, float valves, stainless pots, and silicone lids for storage.

I sometimes use this multiple times per day. One Thanksgiving I made a delicious boneless turkey breast, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans. But, having to depressurize to release the lid and swap out the pots got tiresome.

It'll be nice to have an extra cooker and it looks like the parts/accessories may be interchangeable.

Picked up the 8qt on sale from Best Buy a few months ago. We've used it a few times since then and no complaints.

Had to get rid of my slow cooker a bit ago, hoping this will replace what I used that for. Thanks

Great buy, I have an insignia and works great. Though the ninja my brother has is slightly better, mainly because it has an air fryer and it pressurizes a little faster, this is amazing for the cost.

I have the same pot and never burned stew or anything in it. I certainly never got any sort of bitter chemical taste... which makes no sense. You can't make your stew or sauces too thick or you'll get the burn notice. If needed I thicken my stew and sauces with cornstarch afterwards.

I have this 6 qt and the 8 qt Instant Pot. You're better off with an 8 quart in almost every instance, unless you're just cooking for one or two people., but you should be able to pull of a 3-4 pound roast etc in the 6 qt.
