    I love the instant pot especially for two things: Cooking beans and making broth.

    I get a nicer texture from beans done in the instant pot than I do cooking them any other way. And I can knock out a big pot of chicken stock in like an hour. If you want it to be totally clear you have to let the pressure release naturally, but I don’t care if it’s cloudy because I’m just gonna turn it into something opaque anyway usually so I do a quick release so it’s done faster.

    I also used it to cook in summer before I got an induction burner, because my apartment’s shitty electric stove dumps heat everywhere.

    Plastic back and a removable/user replaceable battery.

    Yeah yeah I know it “feels cheap” but honestly I LIKED when phones were made of more plastic. Now they’re heavier and both sides are breakable. Like, the metal backs were fine, but apparently metal backs suck for NFC and wireless charging so instead of giving us some classy Nokia Lumia style plastic they went with glass backs.

    Also I keep my phone in a case because otherwise the back is so smooth it shoots off the couch if someone walks across my apartment. It’s legit only in the case to add some friction.
