Just as the title says, my dear sweet hubby was carrying stuff to the car, and he somehow dropped my (empty) 8 quart IP. He thought he had only broken one of the tab/leg things on the bottom. When we got home, he brought into the kitchen and I heard the “rattle”. Ummm, yeah, it’s more than just the little leg. Sigh……guess we know what he’s getting me for Christmas lol.
Just use “ipconfig/renew”
Good thing that there are lots of sales on right now! Sorry for the loss
There are padded bags with handles and straps made specifically for various sizes of Instant Pots. Slow cookers with locking lids and suitable carrying bags can be cheaper and better for transport and warming of food cooked in your IP.
better than dropping it pressurized!
IP might replace for free. write them and let them know what happened, and ask if safe to use or how to fix. they may just say please throw away and give you new one.
they did for me. but I did not drop, it just was doing some weird things. so not exactly the same situation, just seems worth asking.
I was surprised, and now I love them more
I dropped my Instant Pot and busted it up beyond repair. I was able to secure a replacement easily. Check on Facebook Marketplace as people don’t use them and sell them for cheap.
Time for an upgrade!
Are we still exchanging these things as currency during the holidays? You should be able to find one very cheap used.
see the steam from here, oh no
This is textbook narcissism. Pack up your stuff and leave. Find someone to stay with, do not answer his calls. He’ll try to gaslight you, saying it’s not a big deal and that he loves you. Don’t fall for it. This is exactly where the physical abuse starts.
Praying for you and your family
If you get a new one, get a little crockpot with a bag that’s easy to transport it with to go with it. We made stuff in ours all the time before it broke and transferred it to my mini crockpot. It keeps it more consistently warm without overcooking and there are a TON of transport gadgets for crockpots.
You could use a VPN which helps mask it
When my husband burned my IP (too close to the stove), we bought the exact same one to replace it. I kept everything else from the broken one and am now super happy to have spare parts for everything, including an extra pressure lid and air fryer lid. Highly recommend if you use your IP daily like we do!
Ask him to buy you an All American brand pressure cooker. He can drop that thing until kingdom come and it’ll hold up.
Maybe I’m petty, but if he is the one who dropped it, then maybe it shouldn’t be a Christmas gift to you, but something that he replaces for you. Obviously I don’t know what your financials are like, but it’s kind of shitty that you’re suggesting that it has to come out of your Christmas budget when it broke due to an accident that he created.
This is the kind of thing that I’ve been standing up for myself more often lately, so I apologize if I’m projecting too much!
I mean didn’t they go bankrupt in part because they’ve overproduced relative to demand? Probably not a big issue to replace it
Maybe you need a new IP address.
lol jk
“Guess we know what I’m getting him for Christmas lol” - fixed that for ya!
Christmas? He gets to replace something he broke as a gift? That’s a bogus gift.
