Haha!! Girl you are thorough!! Wow!! You should be a blogger!! This way great-so thank you so much for all this info. I think I’m going to get one!! Go Sandy!! High Five 🖐 lol

yes and no…..you have to allow time for it to come to pressure before it starts cooking and then you have to let it cook which is usually a shorter amount of time but then you have to let the pressure go down before you can open the lid so it all depends on what you are making. If I’m going to boil a dozen eggs at a time, then I get this out as I’m done with them in about 15 min. and didn’t have to watch them. Yesterday I dumped a bag of broccoli in it and even though you can maybe steam it for a shorter amount of time in the microwave, I think it retains its flavor better. And…I always use it for any pasta cooking as no water boiling over on the stove so that’s a plus for me and some recipes(like my spaghetti the other day, I browned the hamburger and then added the sauce and noodles and it all cooks at once. But I still like making my soups in the crockpot where it can simmer for a longer period of time to combine flavors. I have the 6 qt. IP-DUO60 It’s the middle size and for us it’s the right size. The 3qt. would be too small and the 8 qt. would be too big plus it would take up so much space the but 6 qt. is just right ! Oh my…I sound like the 3 bears !

Well I’m really interested. I see a bunch of recipes on Pinterest and I really want to try some. Is it really “Instant” compared to a crock pot?

Beverly I’m just now getting back to the computer. I will see which one I have and let you know tomorrow. There are tons of recipes on Pinterest and I follow a couple of FB groups so you are never short of recipes or ideas. You really do have to “want” to use it though and not be afraid of it. My son bought me mine as a thank you to me for all the pre-made food I always sent home with him for his freezer. He bought me and himself one so now he does his own cooking in it and puts meals in the freezer. But…it’s fun to let each other know what we make and share recipes. I know I would not have gotten it out of the box if he hadn’t been here to get it out and do the water test with me AND we made the first recipe in it together. That helped me not be afraid of it. My sister got one from her daughter and was afraid to use it so it went back to the store.

The pull on shorts were super cute!! I was telling Sandy that I thought I looked long waisted in the outfits. I’m going to try a different top to see if that helps. Can’t wait to post it!!! Have a great day!!!

I love Pilates!!! I do that a lot too!!! Yeah, I think I overdid it on my inner thighs —whew!! Lol. I’m going to try that supplement-thanks!! Kickboxing sounds fun!! No one offers classes around here for that. I guess I could get a DVD?? Hmmm lol

I love those shoes!!! Lol I’m really slacking on the cooking, so I’ve got to get it in gear. You know it’s bad when your kids come home with fast good because they know I haven’t cooked 😂😂. Bless their hearts!!

I’m so glad you said Insta Pot!! Is it worth it? I’ve been thinking of getting one but I have no clue which one I should get.
