Have near everything in the world equipment wise for cooking. If one truly wants speed, a full blown pressure cooker really gets it done. Then again, so does a Dutfch Oven that one buries right after breakfast out in the woods. Well said. With enough time (usually the result of planning ahead), cooking can be done with low heat. The basic stovetop pressure cooker was the timesaver shortcut before microwaves showed up. The pressure cooker skipped at least one or two generations (other than for canning) and became a forgotten tool. The Instapot seems New and exciting, but is just a pressure cooker reborn with buttons and programs for folks that don’t want to learn the basic stovetop model. There’s nothing wrong with an Instapot if you’re willing to trade dollars, complexity, longevity and need for an electrical outlet for the simplicity of the stovetop model. No wrong answers........ including using time and low heat.

I have the Yedi Pot, a different version is all. Comes with a rack to make boiled eggs. I haven’t used it yet.

The mommy unit here at my domicile uses one. Seen her dump a frozen hen in there and in about an hour (I think) that chiggin is thawed, cooked and its flesh is falling off the bone.
Has a program schedule, timer, buttons, lights, makes a little tune when it’s done. Another counter hog Hate that. Right now, mine's full of cast bullets and primers, and an Erie cast iron skillet that needs seasoning. All picked up for a song.

Got one for Christmas and flat out LOVE it. That is surprising since I had sloughed off the hype on what is merely a pressure cooker on steroids. In an hour it makes a superb venison stew that used to take me overnight or longer. I keep trying new concoctions. I found a big package of gnarly venison that had gotten lost in the freezer and missed its intended grind. It turned out tender and tasty. Carrots and or potatoes in minutes, etc. It takes longer to prep or cut up most things than it does to cook them.

My wife bought the name brand one. It seems not to seal properly some times.
But, yeah, when it does seal up properly, it is a wonder. basic 10 minute soup. I save bones & scraps now. Chicken, pork, beef. Put them in a ziplock in the freezer and when I get enough, I bust them up a bit to get at the marrow and give them a half hour or so with carrots, onion, and celery in the instant pot.
My wife has used it to can sugary items. Canned/candied plums for the best pancake syrup & topping ever. That has turned out grand. She now wants to get a big honking canning pressure cooker to can meaty items, like soups and stews.
