I’d read that too. I hadn’t let myself buy an Instapot either because I have a stovetop pressure cooker that I’m comfortable with using. I have crockpots, and a sous vide circulator (which I love dearly, omg, wanna talk about set it and forget it) . I already had accumulated all the things separately that an Instapot can do. But when COVID started, I let myself buy an Instapot, because I expected to be cooking so much more and thought maybe this miracle appliance everyone raved about would save me effort in the kitchen. And what I found is that for my recipes and cooking style, the Instapot may do all those things, air fry, sous vide, slow cook, pressure cook, but it can’t do them as well as my existing equipment. It might hold the water temp ok for sous vide, but it’s not circulating the water (an important factor in the cooking style). It ran too hot on the low slow cooker mode. It took fricking forever to come up to pressure. I could only air fry one portion at a time. I finally conceded that I’m just not the target user for those things. I never did try making rice in it though. We’ve since moved and it’s packed up somewhere. When I find it again, I might try it one more time, but otherwise it is destined for my MIL’s annual yard sale.
