One of the advantages of pressure cooking is that you can brown your ingredients in the pot before cooking. The stainless steel pot does a better job of browning than the non-stick surface in my&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000MPA044\/ref=s9_simh_gw_p79_d1_g79_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=center-3&amp;pf_rd_r=0MF7F8ZKN5NPAYRDTXGD&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;pf_rd_p=470938811&amp;pf_rd_i=507846&amp;tag=barbbake-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cuisinart electric pressure cooker<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-923\" title=\"Instant-pot-no-lid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Instant-pot-no-lid.jpg\" alt=\"Instant-pot-no-lid\" width=\"500\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Instant-pot-no-lid.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Instant-pot-no-lid-300x292.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The lid on the Instant Pot was easier to understand how it needs to be aligned to lock into place, and I liked the pressure\/steam release design better than the Cuisinart&#8217;s too.&nbsp;The Instant Pot Lux was quieter, and I liked that there are less parts to clean on the Instant Pot lid.<\/p>\n<p>I like the float valve design on the Cuisinart better. The value is red and it&#8217;s easy to see when it comes to pressure and when the pressure has dropped. The float valve on the Instant Pot is inside a hole and I can&#8217;t see in the hole without standing on my tippy toes.<\/p>\n<p>In reviews the Cuisinart pressure cooker manual is often&nbsp;criticized&nbsp;for not being clear, and the Instant Pot manual has the same problem. There is contradictory information, and limited information about how to use all the functions. The Instant Pot website has a <a href=\"http:\/\/instantpot.com\/technology\/smart-cooking-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">How Smart Cooking Programs Work<\/a> that gives more detailed about the programs.<\/p>\n<p>But those are really are just minor criticisms, the Instant Pot Lux is a fantastic tool for creating quick, healthy meals in a fraction of the time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas came early at my house.
