the biggest difference is that you don't get burned with the Instant Pot you take a grave chance the old fashion way. You also don't have to monitor the pressure like you do the old way. - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday,

Yes, what you say is exactly true, it is an electric pressure cooker, but unlike the stove top models which have been around forever, it was market as something completely new and revolutionary with all the different programs and basically it was a reinvention of the wheel. But of course we see

That is true, but some key facts from the article are: In court filings, the company says it generated operating cash flows of just $17.9 million US in the first three months of the year. That relatively meagre figure is a sharp contrast to the more than $500 million US worth of debt on its

I am not a user of the Insta pot or any other pressure cooker. However, I did a quick duckduckgo.com search for Smart Pressure Cooker and found one by Chef IQ at Amazon. Regular price $200, with the 20% off coupon on the site it is $160. I know nothing else or if the app is accessible, but

This may help. It is that voiceover is coming through the ear piece,  not the speaker. I think that I remember that it is easier to use with headphones than trying to hear it through the ear hole on your phone and do things with it. I hope this is the case, you will have to hear voiceover to do
