If you have an Instant Pot, do you like it?? Do you use it often??

I have several pressure cookers and use them often.
One that I have belonged to my grandmother and the instructions have a date code of 1945.
Since you are cooking under a closed cover, you need to follow recipe directions exactly. Spices for example-since the pot is closed they have more of an effect than in an opened pot where oils and flavor is lost.
It does a great job with tough meats such as corned beef or pot roast. A modern pressure cooker has several safety features that the older ones did not. For one thing the seals are made of silicon and seem to last forever. Also,
a modern STAINLESS STEEL quality pressure cooker will cost you about as much as the instant pot.
For people who have blown a pressure cooker. First of all the smallest one I have is 9 qt. The reason is-no one reads instructions-you are not supposed to fill it more than half way. So a nine quart is actually 4.5 qt usable-I expect that is also true of the instant pot.
