^^^^ the IP has to go through a warm up, then cook, then slowly release the pressure to avoid boiling... so I would not say minutes.

It seems to me cooking a whole chicken in the oven as an example is only maybe 20% slower.

The single pot concept of adding veggies, and less cleanup is a big advantage to me of the IP. Plus the flavor. Just not so much the time difference in cooking.

Meat is more tender in the IP.

My wife is a hardcore crock pot holdout, but I’m making inroads. The last pork chops she did in the oven were rather chewy. I need to do some in the IP.

I made this tuna casserole last night but being low on groceries I had to improvise a little. No chicken stock so used Beef stock, no cream of celery so used two cans of cream of mushroom. No egg noodles so used a box of Rotini. (use anywhere from 3.5 to 4 cups of broth with Rotini and you should be fine. Due to no celery in fridge I also doubled up on the mushrooms. Also don't understand the pyrex bowl requirement. Used a stainless mixing bowl.

Even with these changes it turned out delicious. Even my picky wife loved it.

Exactly. I cannot go into the kitchen without one of the canine kitchen supervisors overseeing everything I do. :D
