No need to pre-soak the lentils, either--just rinse them.

I can brown things in the Instant Pot, add other ingredients, and then switch to slow cook. It takes the place of two kitchen appliances in our cottage-of-little-storage-space.
I have a 40 year old pressure cooker that I have also retired. I have always loved using it just a little afraid the older it got. Really looking forward to using my instapot.
