Never had a problem with them.

It does say it cannot be used for pressure canning low acid foods because the pressure can fluctuate (on high) and most electric pressure cooker manufacturers have stated they have no interest in pursuing FDA approval for pressure canning foods but I hope they change their minds. Especially after the insane amount of work they had to do making the electric pressure canners many times safer than the stovetop models just to be able to bring them to market.

Dennis, can you share the times you use? And do you start with fresh from the garden? I've got a ton of green beans planted this year and already am feeling very nervous....

Diane,
We will pick the veggies and can them immediately. It worked that we would have a pint or so ready each evening.

Can you share how you do it for idiots like me? Especially the timing you use. How many minutes on High/Low pressure?

We have done some quarts and can them for 25 minutes. We let the instapot release the steam on its own, don't force it.

I bake potatoes in my Ninja Foodi using the bake function. You can set the temperature to what you want, then set the time for what you want. I put a little oil on the skins. But I really prefer just to cut the potatoes into steak fries and roast them that way, because I'm counting carbs and don't eat a whole potato at once. I can't give you a time, but I believe the recipe book tells you want to do. I've never tried to do baked potatoes in the Instant Pot. Hey, try baking potatoes with the Cake function! What's the worst that could happen?

I find that with my homemade chicken stock, I need to cut it with 50% water when using it to cook rice. My theory is that the rice needs to absorb water to cook, and there's less water and a bunch of other stuff in the equivalent amount of broth, and at least one of those "other things" seems to actively interfere with the absorbing process. I've no proof of that - maybe a chemist will speak up - but from observation, I've had to compromise when cooking brown rice (stove-top 45 min. to cook type). It's worth experimenting with a little bit, as the extra flavor and nutrition are worth it.BUT, of late (possibly since I started adding the stock for flavorful rice), the very bottom is dark, costs me 1/4 - 1/2 cup of rice each time.
