I like my Instant Pot a lot. Pretty and simple easy to cook things with it. It really takes the hassle out of a lot of things. I like that rice only takes me 12 mins once fully heated up. Or at least I think it's 12 mins (haven't made rice in a bit).
I make Indian food in mine, even though I'm not Indian. I follow Indian people's blogs and just put whatever they tell me to put in it. lol. I also follow Mexican blogs.
If anyone isn't familiar with Instant Pot, there are a lot of Indian recipes for it. It sounds like most Indian people use an Instant Pot, based on all the recipes I see out there since the overwhelming majority of them "require" an Instant Pot. (Obviously you don't *need* to use an Instant Pot, but I'm just saying that the Instant Pot is part of their recipe.) So if you like Indian, that's a really cool option. If you haven't tried Indian, I recommend at least going to an Indian restaurant and trying something like chicken/paneer tikka masala (depending if you're veggie or not)! Or chana masala. A good chunk of Indian food is pretty healthy and it's great if you're dieting or maintaining. It's just that the dishes with creams in them that aren't so healthy...
