Is an Instant Pot Worth It for One Person

Question

I live alone, and wrestle with wether or not I should buy an instant pot. What does anyone think? I do like to cook and have fun experimenting. Please advise and thank you in advance

Hi Patricia - It really depends on what you'd like to do with the Instant Pot. It is a useful tool for when you want to make a large batch of something like: broth, soup, beans, pulled meat and then portion it out and freeze it. For example, you could make a batch of chicken broth or freezable soups and store it in containers in the freezer for you to thaw out as needed. You could make a pot of pulled pork or chicken and divide it into portion containers and freeze them. If you already do this without an Instant Pot, then you probably don't need one.
