One good thing I see is that it has at least 2 of the plastic clips on
the injection lines. Few of them have the clips in place now. 10 years
ago, most of them for sale had clips. Not so anymore. Indicated the
car either had good care or benign neglect until you got it.
Those little lines

It looks like only a couple of super-expensive Instant Pots have infinite

The lesser ones have 12 or 21 different temperature ranges, and I don't think
