Question

I'm the only one in my household changing my eating habits and eat different meal most days from the rest of the family. With that being said I'm thinking of getting an instant pot, but I'm looking to hear if it's worth it. I do have an air fryer I've used for the first time cooking chicken and I really like it. I've been told that the IP leave food dry and tasteless. What's your opinion if you have one?  

Answer 1

I have an IP and love it. I’ve made quite a few dishes, and haven’t found them to be dry at all. I think a big part of that is doing a slow release which helps keep meat tender.

I bought one and didn’t like it at all. I love my air fryer. The ip just wasn’t for me

I use my instapot way more than my air fryer and never had anything come out dry!  

Answer 14

Would not be with out my air fryer must admit I have used it for chicken

Answer 15

I wanted the instanta pot so bad. I really dont like it or use it. I should have returned it.  

Answer 16

I love mine and use it 3/4 times a week. It you overcook or don't add enough liquid to it, I guess food could come out dry, but I've never had that problem. As for being tasteless, it's no different than cooking any other ways (only faster)--not sure how this appliance could remove the taste from food. There are plenty of spices/salts/sauces out there .  

Answer 17

Love my instapot. Just made a turkey breast in it last night and it was so moist. I use mine 1-2 times a week along with my air fryer. Love both!
