Instant Pot Recipes

I got an Instant Pot for Christmas. Mostly to see what all the hype is about and whether it would make my life as a person with a disability easier. I got a 3 quart version since it is just me and Craig. It was easy to use, buttons made sense and I did not fear for my life, except the first time I did a quick release of the steam. Cleaning it is not much worse than cleaning my rice cooker. Although my rice cooker's inner pot is easier to clean. All the recipes in the world seem to be for 6 quart versions, so math was involved. Using it was was easier for some recipes, especially beans. They cooked fast and came out creamy and fabulous. But other recipes, like steel cut oats - not really, took about the same amount of time as my rice cooker and the cleanup seemed harder and the taste was not any better.
