When I do potatoes and eggs,
I put six potatoes in pot and six eggs between potatoes.
Cook for 15 minutes.
This is on pressure.

> Instant pot aaah .. Finally I have it. I have heard people literally 
> praising it as the best thing they ever owned, best gift ever received, 
> best kitchen appliance ever etc etc. So Finally I spent my fair share

> CLARIFICATIONS :

> 1. It is an electric pressure cooker and no magic involved.
> 2. You can cook multiple items in it ( which you can also do in a

> 3. It cooks rice in less than 4 minutes( sometimes even in less amount 
> of time) - yes it does but BUILDING UP THE PRESSURE takes some time 
> around 8 to 10 minutes( sometimes even more than that for very big 
> quantities of food). So total time is almost same(give or take) when

> WHY and WHO should buy it??

> 1. For stove top pressure cooking , you need to monitor continuosly for 
> whistles, and turning off the stove - This you can avoid in Instant pot.
> Since it is electric pressure cooker with built in settings, it will 
> automatically turn off the cooking for you , so you dont have to stand 
> near by the
> stove all the time. NO BABY SITTING.

> 2. So many BUILT IN functions : There are so many functions you can use 
> for multiple cooking , some of them are Yogurt mode to make yogurt ,
> Rice mode for rice, Slow cook mode etc.

> 3. Manually you can adjust time and pressure as well. Great for people 
> who want to experiment in their cooking to find out the fastest times for
> their cooking , which saves lot of time than to use preset functions.

> 4. Delayed timer , which means turn on the delayed timer in the morning 
> and by the time you come from office you have fresh piping hot
> homemade food ready to devour - PURE BLISS

> 5. STAINLESS STEEL inner pot - NO TOXINS, NONSTICK COATINGS, NASTY 
> CHEMICALS etc in your food.

> 6. Safety : UL and ULC certified with 10 proven safety mechanisms

> 7. Highly energy efficient and kitchen friendly - Less Electric bills.

> 8. ONE POT COOKING ( multiple , if cooking multiple dishes by stacking) 
> so less clean up

> and so many more...

> SO PEOPLE who are looking for stainless steel cooking pot, cooking 
> multiple items at once, dont want to stand in front of the stove baby 
> sitting , busy parents, who wants fresh homemade food with less 
> efforts, One pot cooking, Bulk cooking .... etc etc ... YOU MUST BUY THIS.

> CONS : So far none but it is OVERLY OVERRATED ( I agree it is very 
> useful , I am in love with it but there is no MAGIC involved . As there is no
> BABY SITTING involved people love it so much they over rate it. * I 
> myself love it , so don't get me wrong *

> PRICE : At thanksgiving I got it for arounf $85 including a protection 
> plan .. Regular price varies but it is around $120. Honestly it is a very good
> INVESTMENT and would buy it for $120 if I was unable to grab it for the

> PROTECTION PLAN : YAY or NAY ?? I took it as it was only $10 for 4

> Better safe than SORRY right?? You can always sleep peacefully.

> DO YOU NEED TO BUY ADDITIONAL RECIPE BOOKS ?? If you are an
