Instant Pot Max Pressure Cooker: Cook Delicious Meals Quickly and Easily

JDJD: We purchased this instant pot back in 2018 and I realized I had not left a review, w love this device so much I had to leave one. We have used it consistently for 5 years making everything from roasts, meats, chicken, wings, eggs, deserts, yogurt and so many other things that I have lost count of and it always performs just as it should.

The ease of use, time savings and quality of the items prepared are amazing, its super easy to use and easy to clean. I recommend this to everyone I know and many have purchased one and love theirs just as we do.

Jata 2: Always intended to buy an instant pot but put it off because I was accustomed to using a stove top one that would obtain a 15psI pressure & cook faster than electric ones which don't. But I discovered that this Instant Pot Max model does ! The only one in their line that does. Tested it out & indeed it does reach 250 F or 15psi. Very happy about that. The controls are also much easier on this MAX model to navigate & understand. Very simple. The only downside is that the so called silicone sealing ring had a toxic plastic smell to it after completing two 15 min water tests with it. Silicone is supposed to be odourless. So I ordered two different types of sealing rings that claimed to be genuine silicone & tested them out too & found the same thing. Horrible plastic smell. So I researched this problem & found a solution. If you bake your new silicone rings in a 350 degree F oven for 1 hour, it will take away that odour. For the colored off brand rings I bought as a replacement after the warranty is up, I had to bake them for two hrs at that temperature to completely remove the odour. So now I'm happy that I can use my new pressure...

BitTwiddler: Bought 6 quart on recommendations for decarb-ing herb and infusing to oil. 8 quart will work and the little one is too small. Six quart also does about a 2-6 pound roast, three or so just perfect.

Do recommend getting an extra set of gaskets and use a dedicated one for each thing you use it for.

To decarb and/or infuse into oil: two clean new or fairly new wide mouth pint canning jars with good lids and rings (no rust). Good grade coconut oil, 2 to 4 cups. Jar lifter of some kind. Jar cooling rack. Metal French press.

Prepare herb, take out twigs and stems, break up buds. Don’t have to grind but get to small pea sized. Put 15 grams (half ounce) in each jar. Add 1-2 cups oil to each jar. Leave at least an inch of space at the top. Jus barely finger tight the lid and ring. Enough that u I t is closed or just a bit more. Put the wire liner/ lifter piece in pot. Put both jars in. Fill pot to 1/2 line with room or tap temperature water. Blot off top of jar lids. Seal pot. On ‘pressure cook’ set 50 minutes and high. Start pot cycle. Let coast 20 minutes (shorten a little if you want). Depressurize and lift jars to rack. 20-60 minutes or cool...

Cliente de Amazon: Me parece buena olla, ya he probado otras (phillips, Instant Pot Ultra), asi que mi opinion es que es buena y tiene el plus en particular de poder configurar la forma de liberar la presión al terminar la cocción, tiene tres formas: la tradicional manual o de forma automatica como son en tiempos diferidos o por completo.

Tiene pantalla touch agradable y sencilla, asi que me parece buen detalle

No tiene tantas opciones como la ULTRA, asi que se tienen que saber los tiempos o calcularle, la Ultra por ejemplo tiene ya las opciones predefinidas para varios tipos de cocción sin tener que calcular.

Esta MAX trae su propia hoja dentro del paquete que indica los tiempos de cocción de diferentes productos los cuales he comprobado algunos y realmente estan fuera de la realidad, un ejemplo son los frijoles negros, los tiene que se cocen en un tiempo de D: 16 a 20 mins o S: 5 a 7 mins y realmente tarda como 50 mins como minimo... asi que solo es cuestion de calculo.

Lo negativo si es que se puede considerar asi:

- El pitido de final de cocción es muy bajo me gustaria que se pudiera regular el sonido.
- No es Wifi

De lo demas es...

K. T.: I had a sort-of knock-off of the Instant Pot for two years. I replaced it with an Instant Pot Max. Here are my notes, comparing them. I am not affiliated with Instant Pot in any way except being a user who can type.

a) I had a Deni-brand pot, claiming to do many of the same things, and it did indeed do many basic things just as well. The Instant Pot Max does more than just saute, boil, steam and pressure-cook. It is very broadly programmable, but also has many neat one-button modes such as yogurt-making, etc.

b) It it has simple point-and-shoot modes, plus optional variants of those modes, plus wholly-custom ways of doing everything the way you want, across the board. The Instant Pot Max controls are very much touch-screen oriented; use it a few times, and you start to feel confident. For instance, it has English Language display text for reporting alarms or errors, not just some obscure icons. This cost them more to do, but since "smart-pots" can get bewildering, Instant Pot Max has put some money and technology into coping with this.

b) The instant Pot is much better built. It is solid construction, similar to my own pots and pans. The...

Kieran McCarty: I was looking at Instant Pots and was considering getting the mini (3qt) because I live alone but several reviews said (and I confirmed with a few searches) that most of the accessories available only fit the 6qt or 8qt sizes. Since I wanted to maximize the Pot's utility, that was important. Then, when I saw an Amazon Warehouse deal on a 6 qt Ultra -- top of the line! -- for less than the regular price of the Mini Duo that had fewer features, I jumped on it. It said it had significant visual flaws on the lid, but I didn't really care as long as it functioned properly. Well, the flaws are on the inside of the lid and are barely noticeable, so I feel like I got a terrific bargain.
It doesn't take more than a couple minutes to get to full pressure and start the cooktime, and the steam release button works very rapidly.
Though i haven't yet decided on what accessory set[s] to buy, I know at least I want a springform pan: I kluged a form to make a cheesecake in this device, as it is the easiest bain marie, and I was amazed to find it came out really well (it looked pretty wobbly right out of the pot, but it firmed up nicely in the refrigerator). I have cooked 3...

Let Me Say This:Let Me Say This:: The media could not be loaded.  I had previously a pressure cooker T-Fal Cook4me, which is absolutely fabulous, but has one big flaw - the pressure release is automatic, and I could not cook soups and broths, for it was releasing liquids together with the steam.
Instant Pot Ultra has perfectly answered my needs - it has manual pressure release, customized options and looks beautiful. By the way, the far from being pretty appearance of the previous Instant Pot versions stopped me from buying it.

The reasons I have given my choice to Ultra version are:
- Fully customizable Ultra program - I choose everything according to my needs: pressure, non-pressure cooking, temperature, "keep warm" on/off, time and delayed start.
- Modern and sleek appearance: LCD display and central dial (it's similar to T-Fal Cook4me pressure cooker).
- Pressure release knob - I can control pressure release...
