trombonishI shall endeavor to not be "that person" who won't shut up about their instapot.
But I just got one (shopping on black Friday for the first time ever), and so far I love it. My Crock-Pot crock developed a hairline crack in September, and have been largely limping along without it ever since, shopping for what to replace it with.
Tonight did chili in the instapot, and did dried beans -> cooked beans -> really good chili in a smidge over 2 hrs, including pressure up/down times. My usual method is in the Crock-Pot, and that's a 36 hr meal (morning: soak beans -> night: cook beans -> morning: start chili). Tried chili stovetop a few weeks ago but that turned out really disappointing. This chili was much better though the beans were a little al-dente.
I need to practice more on how much water goes in, both for beans and the chili I didn't get quite enough in once you considered what it needed for pressurizing.
