Penny, I have done chickens, turkey breasts, white rice, and many casseroles.
There is a Facebook group called Enable Kitchen which was started for members who are blind. It is a low traffic group at this point. Another place to learn about these cookers is to search the Cooking with the Hazelnuts podcasts on ACB Radio. They do three or four podcasts, one of which describes the machine. They specifically talk about the model which is controlled with the iPhone app. They gave a good eescription of the buttons too. Only the 6 quart model is available to work with the app. A number of people have asked for an 8 quart model.

I had never cooked with a pressure cooker before and have to admit that I was nervous about it. I love the Instant Pot! What I like best is the blue tooth connectivity. I can control the pot, and even better, know exactly what it's doing from anywhere in my house. I particularly like the Instant Pot for making hard-cooked eggs (4 minutes under pressure, 4 minutes to release pressure, 4 minutes in an ice-water bath, and they peel perfectly and are perfectly well done! Also, I love the Instant Pot for dry beans. I like to make a turkey breast in the IP -- 30 minutes from coming-up-to-pressure until done, and much more flavorful than even oven roasted! I'm still trying to perfect steel cut oats and rice, but I will get there, I'm sure! Amazon.com is having their annual Prime (Summer) Days sale beginning on the 10th of July. I would encourage anyone to invest in the Instant Pot! If you're blind and use an IPhone or IPad, make sure you get the one that's got the blue tooth connectivity built in! There are a number of Instant Pot Facebook groups. I have learned a lot from joining several of these groups. I wish that BARD or BookShare would make one of the many Instant Pot recipes books available, but I haven't found any yet. There are a number of pressure-cooking cookbooks available on BookShare though, and I have learned a lot from these as well. Happy cooking!
