Instant Pots are amazing if you cooked every single day, but when I started meal prepping, I stopped using mine as much. Instant Pots aren't great for meal prepping, their capacities are too small.
I got mine to make Chinese beef noodle soup and in an 8 qrt instant pot I could make like 6 meals from it. I guess it depends on what kind of food you like to make. I haven't used it in a while but I always think to myself I'll use it again soon...
Before my Instant Pot, I had a Breville Fast Slow Cooker. They’re essentially the same thing, except Instant Pot made smaller versions too.
Nowadays, my Instant Pot is a big part of the weekly meal prep for my family, whether it’s a big batch of rice or dhal, or searing and pre-cooking a full roast, or boiling down a chicken carcass for soup.
I can’t imagine using one of the smaller models though.
