But does it speed-cook like a pressure cooker (i.e., cook dried beans in 1 hour instead of 4 like on a stovetop, or a pot roast in twenty minutes, etc.)? My Fagor even can deep fat fry chicken under pressure quickly!
Since we moved off the boat, I have to confess that I have not used my pressure cooker very much at all. I bought it for when we were cruising and dried beans were a cheap and lightweight meal that didn't need all day to cook on a stove. I've used it for pot roasts and pork and liked how quickly it cooked them and how they remained tender and juicy. I just may look into an Instant Pot now that everyone seems to really like their versatility and ease. Thanks.
