Anyone tried the New Instant Pot Smart Wifi?

I have one of these.

I have successfully used the app to pair the device without any sighted assistance, and regularly use it to assign various modes, set times, and preset it to start doing whatever I want at a specific time of day in order to have my food ready when I get home from work. Not going to lie, the app is kind of obnoxious, but it does work, you just have to try some different gestures sometimes and make sure that what you're tapping on is actually visible on the screen. Meaning, if you swipe to find something then double tap it, it may not click properly. I'd be happy to elaborate further if you have specific questions or problems.

Hi,

Of course, when you get it, I'd be happy to talk more about using the app! As you mention, you can use the pot as well if the app is being a pain in the rear, as the buttons on the panel are raised. Since the display is very bright and large, you can use an app like Be My Eyes as well in order to read the screen as you program the pot until you get the hang of using the panel without any assistance.

I think you're going to love your Instant Pot. They are wonderful!

Have a great day!

They might be open to making the app more blind friendly.

I just look up my recipes on food blogs. The Instant Pot has developed such a following that there are tons of great recipes out there, and lots of people talking about it. My next goal is to make an Instant Pot cheesecake.

Really though, sometimes I don't use a recipe and just throw some meat in there with vegetables and turn the thing on high pressure for 30 minutes. It's pretty no-fail as long as your meat chunk isn't over 2lbs, in which case you'd want some more time on it. I don't mind occasionally subbing a processed item in for convenience after a long day, so sometimes I buy a simmer sauce that I can toss in with the meat/vegetables, then make rice on the side. It's pretty impossible for that to turn out badly.

About the app, I haven't written to the devs because it does work, even though technically it could be more friendly. Although really we all probably should. I saw somewhere that a VO user wrote to them requesting some improvements and they said that VO was a third-party app and that they didn't have to make the app compatible. Not too impressed with that kind of response.

what is this and what are the features?
Is there any pdf user guide?
I have never heard of it.

Hello Instant Pot users. I have been following this forum because I have considered adding an Instant Pot to my own kitchen arsenal. While reading, I thought that it worth mentioning here that the AnyList app, by Purple Cover Inc., does have some instant pot recipes available through their web browser search feature which look really good.

In case you aren't familiar with the AnyList app... First it is a grocery list maker which can be shared with other AnyList users, which makes it nice if the wife sends the husband to the store. She can create the list, and he gets instant updates, even if she uses an iPhone and he uses an Android phone. Items that have been purchased are easily crossed off. Once a new item has been added to the list for the first time, if you click favorite, then it is available for future use without fully retyping it. If you purchase the same item in multiple stores, you can add the price and check it at another store to decide if peanut butter is cheaper at store A or store B. There are as many categories as you could want, some that are prepopulated and you can create your own or sort and modify the existing ones. You can even sort the categories depending on how each store has been laid out. For example, my Walmart puts the dairy case way in the back, which is where I start shopping so it is the top category.

Second, you can create a list for anything you can imagine. Some of mine include model numbers for appliances, a supplements list including brand, what is in the supplement, and how many taken per day. Also, I have created a check list for tracking my workouts, a wish list for those things that I can't afford right now but don't want to lose track of, and the possibilities are endless.

Third, there is a recipe manager in the app. You can find recipes, add them to your personal collections, and you can change the portions, i.e., if a recipe makes enough for four people but you are cooking for twelve, you can modify the whole recipe fast.

Fourth, there is also a meal planner in the app, which helps you to keep on track and organized. The AnyList team have made this app completely accessible for Voiceover users. There is a free and subscription model. The free version doesn't give you the meal planner or full access to the web browser to find recipes. The paid version gives all of that plus it keeps a complete copy of your lists and recipes in its secure database, which is very helpful if you change devices. You have the individual and family level for subscription choices. Neither option is that expensive, either. Personally, I don't know how I made it without this app. I think that it will assist any Instant Pot user to find and enjoy new recipes.

HTH

I love the sound of this product. However, it is not available in the U.K. Does anybody know of an equivialnt?

Hello,

I also bought the wifi instant pot but I still not use it because I want to hear a podcast how to use it. Are there any starter recipes I can try?
