I must be the only person unconvinced by the Instant Pot! I don't like having to braise/sear meat and caramelise onions directing in the IP on "Saute" mode - it's always either too hot or too cool. This process is much easier on the hob with a frying pan.. Which is fine, but then I have two things to clean. If I want the benefits of a pressure cooker, I'll just buy one of those. Oh and the UX on the IP is horrific! I needed the manual every time I used it (about five times).

My tip for the UX is to ignore all the special buttons, and just use high and low pressure for a specific amount of time. The cheaper pots don't even bother with all the magic setting buttons.

  That sounds like you're suggesting I just use a normal pressure cooker :p

    Except you don't have to watch the fire.

      Pfft you don't have to sit and stare at hobs because there's fire.

Could you just put the pot directly on your stove to sear stuff? I haven't tried this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
