Insignia Pressure Cooker Product Recall. Nothing is more important than our customers’ safety, which is why Best Buy has voluntarily recalled certain models of Insignia pressure cookers and inner cooker pots in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada. The recalled pressure cookers have incorrect volume markings on the inner pot. This can cause consumers to overfill the pot and hot food and liquids to be ejected when the pressure cooker is vented using the quick release method or opened while its contents are pressurized, posing a burn hazard to consumers.

A: Stainless steel is SAFER than teflon.
Q: What does OH mean on my pot? And does this have an automatic release or manual only?
A: It's a counter to tell you how long it's been in Keep Warm mode after finishing cooking. It is actually 0(zero)H, and stands for zero hours. After an hour has passed it changes to 1H, and so on. Hope this helped!
A: Yes, the primary function is pressure cooking. But you can also use it as a slow cooker and there is a saute function, which heats up the pot high enough to use as a fry pan. I haven't used the slow cooker, since my main goal was to cook faster not slower. I have used the saute function to brown meat and saute vegetables and it definitely gets hot enough to do the job. In fact, it seems to heat up faster than the burner on my electric stove. The other buttons seem to be pre-sets for different modes of pressure cooking.
A: Yes this product is the same as an instant pot. It works great too!
A: Yes, 4 pound roast with potatoes, carrots and onions in 2 hours flat.
Q: Will accessories for the 6qt Instant Pot work with this?
A: I'm sure that they will. This Insignia brand appears to be an exact duplicate of the Instant Pot brand.
Q: Is this the same as the instapot?
A: Same concept, different brand.
A: Basically the same as the instapot, just a cheaper alternative.
