Well I know this does not qualify with the title of the thread but my new fast cooker was put into its maiden voyage, slow cooker style. Turkey bone broth. I got all the bones in it from yesterdays 19 lb turkey with the exception of part of the Breast bone. Peppercorns, apple cider vinegar, bay leaf, carrots, celery and garlic snuck in there as well.

Is that a Breville? Have they updated the Teflon coating to a stainless steel inner pot?

I just started starting to read up on the Breville I bought. It talks about searing meat in it on foods that taste best seared before cooking. Does anyone do that? I would think I would still want to sear in my cast iron, followed by diced onion to abosrb the flavor, then into the instapot.

I have 2 of the Breville Fast-slow cookers pro and they are a marvel! I've made risottos so creamy that I was never able to do while stirring etc and in 6 minutes. IMO the breville is the best on the market, but quite pricey and if one is $ sensitive the instant-pot offers better value though not quite the same results, but very very close.

No it's still the same, I only wish they had changed the levels inside the cooking pot from black to white so one can see them better. But IMO that's the only flaw.

I've also made goulash & chili which I used to make in a crock pot and both came out much better, especially the goulash. I guess quality pays.

It is a Breville and the pot is ceramic coated, not Teflon. I would have preferred stainless but ceramic is okay. I am hoping to find an aftermarket stainless pot made for it, but no luck so far.

From the Breville website:
Lid is removable and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. The ceramic coated cooking bowl doubles as a serving bowl. Ceramic is a natural material and therefore naturally PFOA and PTFE free.

Ceramic is good. At $240 I hope the warranty is good. I did have to use the warranty on instant pot when the count down numbers started flashing. They promptly sent out a new IP and I sent the old one back they paid the shipping.
