The best bit is that you can pop everything in and forget about it until it tells you itâs done. One less thing to watch when my energy is low.

For real, lentils and beans are a big part of my diet - being able to pressure cook without faffing around on the stove or worrying about things exploding is tempting (finally I can have a crack at making dal makhani). And as you say, SET AND FORGET - huge reason why I use a rice cooker. Being able to do pilafs and the like in the instant pot is very temptingâŠ

Change your life if you meal prep. I usually have two pulce prepâs on the go. Being able to set/forget cook them is such a time/effort saver.

Yeah I definitely meal prep - fell off the wagon for a bit after I was sick, but now that Iâm back from leave Iâm keen to get back into it, especially as I might be cutting my work hours further.
Spending less time faffing about in the kitchen is always a win⊠I think Iâm sold. Now to budget for one. Can I ask what size you would recommend for one person wanting to do at least 4-5 serves at a time?

I got the 8L Duo which does 10-12 serves. Itâs a older model so it was cheap on Amazon. I went for the one with the stainless bowl. Reviews said the ones with an airfryer option donât make great air fryers and theyâre bulky to store.
