Let me see if I can help!

Thanks for the recipes Ron. But it's not lack of recipes that's keeping me from using the instapot...more a lack of motivation

Stews, chilis, pot roasts, beans beets and even rice are best cooked in the instant pot.

Next time you make one of those, give it a try

A note on the recipes, those are all of the recipes in my pressure cooker folder in drop box.

I have made all of them at some point

I thought I wanted an instapot so DH gave me one for Christmas 2017. I've used it once and DH has used it a few times but it's mostly sitting in a little-used cupboard.

I only use my Nesco version to pressure cook stuff, I've never tried any of the other functions

I love it for cooking roasts for shredded meat sandwiches in summer without heating up the house.

Guess I share that view refuse to buy a instant pot why if I have oven ?
I had huge pressure cookers for my dog food to soften bone to put in commercial sized shredders....
Will not own one now do have oven ready pots that also cook on the stove do have slow cooker usually transfer to regular pot to finish not a gourmet chef by any stretch but make the guys happy with what I do make

Nesco is a very good choice for a pressure cooker!

Pressure cookers are a life saver for saving time. If I have time I cook other ways too.

Who knows how much I will use them when I retire!

I have 4 pressure cookers if you count the pressure canner

The only place I cook in the summer is at the restaurant. We usually eat there too so it's a rare summer day when I cook at home. This winter, DH has been gone a lot with fixing the house up in Casper. So no need to cook much for 1.

Guess I'm kind of like Penny. I love my dutch oven and crock pot for bigger meals and that takes care of a lot. When DH is gone, I eat a lot of cheese & cracker type meals

I love my oven for cooking in winter, just change the tools seasonally I guess.

I don't blame you for not cooking at home in summer. We would do the same I'm sure.

Do you plan the menu and change things up, or is there a set menu to follow?

True Confessions;
I was raised to fear a pressure cooker & I've never been able to shake it. I hear they're much less scary nowadays, but I don't have one so I boil/bath my canned goods.
… I'm still deathly scared of snakes too.
