To be honest, when I first bought my IP I was terrified of it. I got it because everyone else got one on black Friday, so I didn’t want to feel left out, and got one too. It sat in the box for MONTHS, I used it twice, then we moved, and it sat in a box for a few more months.

Then it happened.

We were camping in Montana with my dad, and I just happened to bring it with us. Well, we got to Glacier National Park, and there was a burn ban in effect, the weather was intense with highs in the mid 90’s, and with 3 adults and 2 kids, I needed quick, easy, low heat cooking that wouldn’t heat up our small trailer. I took it out, and made my first meal, and I was instantly hooked! Not only did I make vegetarian chili in less than 8 minutes, I even plugged it in OUTSIDE! After that, I got even braver, soup in 4 minutes, stir fry in 5 minutes (saute option), meatballs in 4 minutes, I mean the list went on and on. After this trip I was a total convert, and have been hooked ever since. Now I do not know what I would do with out it, and take it everywhere I go!

My favorite thing to make in it is soup, channa masala, dhal, meatballs, and chicken bone broth.
