Do you use a multicooker?

My daughter has one and loves it.
I'd be afraid some part of it would fail. I have an old electric pressure cooker I bought when we first got married. I still use it but had to replace the control once and my dad had to replace the plastic feet with metal ones but it still works. The gasket has been replaced a few times also. This old Presto pressure cooker doesn't owe me a thing..
Before I would buy one I'd look into the price of replacement parts. Sometimes they cost more than a new machine.
 

I've decided not to buy one. Between the traditional oven, the microwave, the toaster oven, and the slow-cooker, I think we have enough ways to cook a piece of meat.
We use ours, (Instapot Brand) more often than the others combined. We actually got a 2nd one, had a 3 qt, added a 5qt. There is a learning curve, but part of the fun. Best hard boiled eggs you will ever peal, Will make the toughest cheap ribs melt in your mouth, left over carcass and veggies become soup broth bases in 15 minutes, no added salt or preservatives. Have also done yogurts and cheesecakes...

That certainly sounds good!
I've also heard many things can be made in crock pots, but even with online recipes and little cookbooks that came with it, I've never ventured beyond corned beef, pot roast, and occasionally chicken.
 

I had one of these cookers and found it more trouble than it was worth. Food stuck to the 'non stick' pan which
was awkward and heavy to lift out and wash even the lid was heavy, I gave up on it in the end.
 
Probably get one of those multicookers since I saw an empty spot on the kitchen counter. Can't have an empty spot!
Wait a minute, that is the spot for the rice cooker or bread machine, I've just been told.
Those two are the ones I use a lot, so I'll have to wait till something else on the counter breaks. :rolleyes:
 
After reading up on the new Air Fryers, I had decided that I didn't want one....well.. my son gave me one for Christmas...lol...since Christmas I've cooked in it twice, first was tater tots which turned out good, next was a pork chop which was just ok but was a very unpleasing gray color...so I'll try it a few more times before I retire it to the bottom shelf in the laundry room... beside the instant pot.
