Anyone here ever get an Instant Pot and end up disliking it? Was thinking of getting a nice dutch oven since I miss my old one, but I am a lazy and impatient man so the Pots are an enticing alternative.

I have a portable dishwasher, full-size GE with a metal interior. Everything I take out of it is flawlessly gleaming clean. I hate the rack layouts so I load dishes on top of tools, etc., and it still cleans absolutely everything perfectly.

Thanks for the input, I also read some reviews and they also said the only real downside to the low-profile Vitamix was in working with very small batches. That can be mitigated by buying an additional smaller pitcher (not sure I wanna do that) Ended up pulling the trigger on the one from the bookstore. Not sure how their price compares to the warehouse with free samples and cheap hotdogs, but I don't have a membership. And I hate the shopping experience there.

How do you know which Instant Pot to get? The Pro Crisp 8QT is on sale now for $170 on Amazon. We have a Philips airfryer and Zojiurishi rice cooker already. Mostly we’re looking for a pressure cooker. Does it still make sense to get this big all-in-one thing?

I guess if you can't get an equivalent one without the air fryer lid it won't hurt other than taking up extra space though

I certainly would not pay more for any 'extra' modes because you're going to be using saute like 1/4 of the time to brown your onions or whatever and then you're going to put the lid on and set a pressure cook time. I think the 'duo' is that machine but I dunno. Wheeee posted:Oh derp, sorry folks. It's like $100 bucks and if you like and use it your life will be changed so I think it's a pretty low barrier to entry. I do think it's a completely different thing from a dutch oven: a dutch oven can also be used to make bread, can be used as a large pot on the stove, etc. I have a dutch oven and an instant pot and literally nothing that I use the instant pot for would work in the dutch oven and vice versa.

Stews and other braised meals are the main crossovers between a Dutch oven and instant pot I would assume. We basically only use our instant pot to make brown rice (15 mins v 45+ min on the stove), but it’s p nice to make some hard boiled eggs or mushroom risotto with a few clicks of a button every now and then. It’s also nice that it doesn’t take up an eye on the range, so it can be helpful if you are making a multi-dish meal since you effectively now have an additional cooking surface.

The extra cooking settings on the pro don’t seem that useful but having the dial instead of buttons would be nice for setting the time. I got a 6qt duo for $50 on black friday a few years ago which is as low as it’s ever been, but there are frequent sales if you don’t mind waiting.

Amazon (at least UK) have some dumb sale on today, it's prime only, but they will give out prime free trials at the drop of a hat. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Victorinox-7-6074-Kitchen-Cutlery-Peeler/dp/B001U51ZRQ This vegetable peeler is very good, and I just bought a second one just in case I lose the first one or it goes super blunt or something. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0050DL5SI?psc=1 I also bought a kitchen knife.

Big-rear end knife recommendation. I make and sell bacon from whole pork bellies. The bellies I get are about 24 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 2 inches thick. I slice the cured/smoked bellies with a deli slicer for packaging. Before the deli slicer, I use an 8-inch chef's knife to trim them up. I make trims like: -Cutting them in half, because only one half will fit in the slicer at a time. -Cutting them down to 10 inches wide, as that's our standard size -Cutting off bit that are pure fat -Cutting off hangers of skin off the edge I'd like to get a larger knife to do some of this trimming. On the longer cuts, I'd end up sawing back and forth a bit, which leads to jagged edges on the meat. I think a 12- to 14-inch blade would come in handy. Webstaurant has a ton of butcher knives, and something called a "climeter" knife that I've never heard of before. Would you recommend any of these for large cuts of meat?

I used to have a 12 or 14 inch granton edge slicer from Victorinox that I really liked. It would work well for most of that, but as a slicer isn't as maneuverable as other blade types. I think this is what I had: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/victorinox-5-4203-30-12-slicing-carving-knife-with-fibrox-handle/35340543.html Flash Gordon Ramsay fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Oct 14, 2022 |

I have a 14" brisket slicer but when I'm butchering pork bellies I think I always just use my 270mm/10.5" chefs knife, not really sure which would be better.

One thing I've never been able to bring myself to buy is a roaster: https://homeandcooksales.com/index.php/13-x-16-inch-large-roaster-with-rack-stainless-steel-second-quality-1.html The only thing I would really use it for is roasting a chicken and I do that maybe three times a year. But I just make a bed of carrots, onions, celery, etc in my cast iron and then place the chicken on top of that for roasting. I don't have a lot of space for equipment. Can someone confirm that I'm doing the right thing? So many recipes reference a roaster but maybe it's easier to assume people have one of those rather than a cast iron?

Honestly a cast enameled dutch oven would probably be even better for a chicken.

You can roast in a Dutch oven also, I wouldn't buy another kitchen thing for the same reason. I do this with the lid off but for longer, lower heat toasts you can probably have the lid on at first.

I roast a chicken almost every week in the fall and winter. I still don't own a roasting pan. I have a vertical roaster for like $12 and it makes the most incredible chicken with 180° of flawless crackling skin. Pork roasts and prime rib roasts just go on a rack on a regular sheet pan. I think the only thing I'd use a roasting pan for is a turkey. And you can always spatchcock or part that out
