Naturally Sweetened Fabulous Meals for a Healthier You!

Instant Pot Giveaway {CLOSED}

An Instant Pot is an electric pressure cooker that makes cooking meals a lot quicker! I’m giving one away today!

instant pot

 

I fell in love with pressure cooking a long time ago under the supervision of my wonderful grandmother and mother. They were avid pressure cooker experts and never had any issues with explosions or problems.

In fact,

I’ve got a video showing how to use the older version on youtube.

 

I’ve got 2 recipes using the older version which could easily be converted to the Instant Pot:

Using a standard pressure cooker can be scary if you’ve got a gas stove and not quite sure how to keep the heat steady and the pressure cooker evenly cooking.

If you’ve always loved the crock pot, the aspect of plugging in an appliance might be more appealing to you than the older version.

This new version takes the guess work out of it! NO need to worry about how to keep the heat at the right temperature on the stove! The manual is easy to follow and you will be amazed at how quickly you can get a meal on the table!

I’ve also started developing recipes using this new electric Instant Pot:

Recently the Instant Pot company sent me a brand new Instant Pot! Since I all ready have one, I decided this would be a wonderful way to introduce someone to this new method of quick cooking! Since I will be mailing this heavy appliance myself, I will need to keep this to the United States only, sorry friends, it’s just too costly for me to ship out of the states!

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED: Starts 3/28/2016 -Ends April 2, 2016 at 12:01am. Open to US residents only. Winner will be notified via email and has 24 hours to reply or a new winner will be chosen. Winner will be chosen by random.org.

  23. I have used a stove top pressure cooker before, years ago, when I thought they were only for tenderizing tough cuts of meat quickly.

  26. I’ve had a pressure cooker for 15 years, but I’m afraid of it. I used it one time and I nearly had a heart attack. I made an eye of round roast in it, but it frightened me so much that I’ve never used it again. I feel like such an idiot. And electric one sounds so much more controlled and totally less frightening.

    I don’t have Pinterest or Instagram or Periscope, but I have the facebook page Liked and I’m now following you on twitter. Thanks for such an awesome giveaway!!

  45. I have never used a pressure cooker. I remember my dad having one, it was huge and heavy, I couldn’t imagine using it today. But this InstantPot, way cool.

  52. I follow you on FB, Instagram (jkaustin02), Twitter, and Pinterest. Haven’t figured Periscope out yet! I’ve used pressure cookers for years, my grandmother had one explode on her, but we live in our RV now and use propane to cook with. I hate using the stove because it’s small and sucks the propane down quickly. An InstaPot is all the rage for RV’ers and I’d LOVE to have one!

    Thanks!

  69. Yes, I have used a pressure cooker, but am always afraid of it “blowing up” because my mom used them years ago and it blew up on her occasionally! What a mess! Those were the days of gaskets that would eventually shrink or dry out or something. There have been so many improvements that there is now much less of a possibility of blowing!

    Reply

  75. I used to use a pressure cooker to “speed up” my cooking. However, when the gasket blew on it and made a horrible mess on the kitchen cabinets, walls, and appliances, I put stopped pressurizing the pan.

  82. I have never used a pressure cooker. I remember when I was just a little girl my mother cooked with one. She would always tell us kids not to go near it because if we touched it the lid might blow off! Scared me so bad that I have never tried using one!

    Reply

  83. I haven’t used a pressure cooker much because they are a bit dangerous. I have seen one explode on my mom and grandma. I have used one on a couple occasions but very causously. I cooked on low heat and stood right there in case something went wrong (it started “stewing” to fast etc.).

    I have seen infomercials about the newer pressure cookers that look really neat. It takes all the guess work out of the process and it kind of a set-and-forget task. I think the food cooked in a pressure cooker is much more tender and healthier. Would like to see one on my counter!

  115. I have used a standard on the stove top pressure cooker and I vividly recall my Mom using the one with the steam release valve that moved and made little noises when she made her stuffed cabbage. I have a new version (my brother got her original one but I doubt he uses it). SOOO would adore the new electric version – have a friend who uses one and adores it and raves about it all the time.

    Reply

  118. I have never used a pressure cooker before. I saw my mom use one and it blew up so I have been afraid to use one. I know they are electric now and safe, but I could never afford one so I never tried to get one. I would love to have one. It would make cooking for my large, very busy family so much easier.

Although, I’ve never used a pressure cooker before, I am in learning mode right now. This is because 2 months ago my daughter and I started our journey to eating healthy. We got rid of our microwave because it’s just too easy to heat up anything and eat. We now have to plan our meals and this has helped, we’ve lost 12 pounds all together. Yay! I truly believe this pressure cooker will aid us on our journey to, not only weight loss, but to a healthy lifestyle.

  324. I have used a pressure cooker without any problems. My mom used hers a lot with just one problem:

    My mom had an old one that had a “bell weight” on the top to release the pressure. She had a pot of beans and ham going and the “bell” blew off and shot beans and ham into the air. Mom heard it blow and ran to the kitchen. Beans and ham were raining all over the ceiling and walls. Our collie dog Laddie was hiding under the kitchen table just watching. When it cooled down, Mom released the lid on the pot and found the ham bone without a piece of meat on it. Nothing else in the pot.

I’ve recently become brave enough to make bone broth out of chicken feet in it. But, my behavior in the kitchen while in use is like a bomb is on the stove. I hope to become more comfortable with it. At, 65 years young….. I’m going to baby step my way in.

  364. No, I have never used a pressure cooker. Mainly, because I’m paranoid that I would be cleaning dinner off the walls after I got distracted by something. This sounds like it would be more up my alley. 🙂

  365. I have not used a pressure cooker because I could not afford one, and most cookbooks and cooking shows do not have recipes or instructions on using them.

  366. I remember my mother using one and I was fascinated a bit scared LOL! I haven’t used on myself as I was afraid to invest in one in case I didn’t like it. This Instant Pot looks great, and I would love to try it!

  369. I have one of those older pressure cookers, the one you put on the stove with the rocker top that makes that shhhhh noise. I’m sort of paranoid about it, but so far no explosions.(Knock on wood) I suppose I will buy an electric one someday. Would love to win this model though!

  371. I’ve never used a pressure cooker. My Mom had one and only made one recipe with it. She kept me away and was afraid of using it herself, that fear combined with only making one recipe just made me have no desire to have one. I’ve been seeing more and more recipes, the new types that seem safer, and even the requirement for some canning recipes, has me intrigued and wanting to get one. Your giveaway has come at a perfect time! I’ve been looking at them and now the cost has been the only thing stopping me from getting one. Thank you for your generosity – not just the giveaway, but your recipes as well!

  390. I have never used a pressure cooker because I am a little intimidated by the old version my grandmother had in the ’70’s. I have been researching these newer versions lately and am anxious to try one.

  392. I have never used a pressure cooker before but I have been reading a lot about instant pots and now I would like to try one :). My great-grandmother used one quite a bit, but my mom never has so I never really learned to use one.

  400. I have never owned nor cooked with a pressure cooker. I have always been shy of them since I don’t know how to cook with them. I’ve just started venturing out of my comfort zone when it congress to cooking. This is one of the items I would love to add to my collection of cookingoption and feel comfortable using.

  408. I would be very interested in cooking in an Instant Pot.
    I’ve done slower cookers and a pressure cooker in the past…..maybe it’s time to step into the
    future! 🙂

  409. I have not used a pressure cooker before. I’m a little scared of them. I’ve heard horror stories from my mom about my grandmother’s pressure cooker exploding in the kitchen. I’m sure they have safety features today that prevent explosions, but I am still kind of nervous about the concept.

    Reply

  410. no I have not but would love to try. We spend our summers travelling in our bus and this pot would mean the difference of cooking in a hot bus to being outside enjoying the sun and view

    Reply

  411. Yes I have used a pressure cooker. I love the way it makes everything so moist & tender & cooks so fast. You can prepare your whole meal in it & not have to slave over a hot stove in the kitchen all day.

    I have never had an electric one & unfortunately my old fashioned one broke many years ago .

    Reply

  413. I like you on Facebook. I’ve never used one , i remember as a kid my mom used one that was scary i always felt like it’s going to explode.

  415. Yes, I’ve owned a pressure cooker, but not for many many years. My memory is that it made me a lil nervous. Mostly have used a slow cooker in recent years. But I’ve actually been looking into the Instant Pot. Have heard great things about it. Liked you on Facebook and following on Pinterest.

  420. I have used a pressure cooker – but I have an electric stove, and they tend to be a bit more difficult on an electric stovetop than on gas.

  422. Yes, I’ve used a pressure cooker. I have one for canning. I had an electric one years ago but it broke 🙁

    Reply

  426. As an adult, no, I’ve yet to cook in one.
    I do though have very fond memories from my youth though. My mother was a school bus driver, We shared summers together. I remember making bread & butter pickles, cabbage stuffed hot peppers and a ton of other things.
    Since our moms passing, I’ve been remembering all the things we did. I even said to my older sister, once my family moves down to Florida to be with her, I told her I would like to get a pressure cooker, not only to prepare meals but I’d like to “re-learn” canning. I’m hoping it’s like riding a bicycle, if not.. There’s always Google. 😂 I’ve been following you on all social media outlets(except Twitter but am now) for quite some time. As well as receiving emails..
    Hope you have a wonderful sugar free day! 😉

  475. I have used the old style pressure cookers since I was 13 yrs old! As a Cuban we makes lots of beans in Pressure cookers and meat style dishes as well. By the grace of God, I have never had an incident with a pressure cooker and have taught my girls how to use them as well.
    Interesting how they made these now with all the safety features.
    Thank you for the give-a-way 😉

  480. I’ve used a pressure cooker for decades, and still remember my grandmother using one to cook green beans with a slab of bacon. Even though it was summer, hot and muggy, there’s nothing quite as comforting as the sound of that rocker!! I also use a pressure canner. LOVE THEM!!

  497. I’ve never used a pressure cooker personally but my dad used one quite a lot. I remember, as a child, that it blew up once in the kitchen so I’d never stay in the kitchen when it was on. I’m glad no one got hurt. I’ve had my eye on the instant pot for a long time now. Thank you for this opportunity to win one!

  498. Hi. I used one in culinary school, but could not personally afford one. I would love to have one since I cook for my disabled mother and this would come in very handy.

  532. Hi Brenda,
    I have never used an instant pot or a pressure cooker mainly because I’ve never owned one. I only recently became interested in one when someone I know purchased one a few months ago and as a result of cooking his own food, lost 25 pounds. Also, knowing that some of them can be used as a pressure canner made it even more interesting to me as I’d like to can my own vegetable broth. Most vegetable broth contains mushrooms and my daughter is allergic to them. Thank you for all of your recipes. They really help me with the Wheat Belly Diet.

  541. I’ve never used a pressure cooker, because I’ve always been afraid of them. I just remember my mom canning jelly when I was little and always making me stay WAY back because it could be “dangerous”. This one sounds like a safer option, though.

    Reply

  545. I have never used a pressure cooker but have been looking at them in recent months. I like the multi-use of the InstaPot and would love to try one ….better yet….win one!!
    I cook a lot and take my own food as I travel with my job. It is a lot of work but worth it. The InstaPot would make the process every week easier and take less time.
    My mother used one occasionally, but she wouldn’t let us get too close as she was very cautious with it.
    Ready to try it myself!

  546. I have never used a pressure cooker because I am scared! I watched my dad get burned so many times… But his meals were so amazing!
