I am not a user of the Insta pot or any other pressure cooker. However, I did a quick duckduckgo.com search for Smart Pressure Cooker and found one by Chef IQ at Amazon. Regular price $200, with the 20% off coupon on the site it is $160.
I know nothing else or if the app is accessible, but just offer this as a confirmation that other smart pressure cookers exist. https://www.amazon.com/CHEF-Worlds-Smartest-Pressure-Cooker/dp/B0863JB424 Richard, USA. “Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.” -- Jane Wagner from The Search for Intelligent Life in the Universe My web site: https://www.turner42.com From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Cristóbal Muñoz Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2023 9:09 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Enjoy your Instant Pot while it lasts - the company has filed for bankruptsy I’ve had my Bluetooth IP for eight or so years now. I always expected it to last longer than the supported app and for a while, that seemed to be the case until I guess enough people complained about the situation where they put out an app update. I suppose now we’ll see how long the Bluetooth app continues to function. Although, Fresco which also supports “smart” appliances including Instant Pot is still going strong, so maybe that’ll be an option for WiFi model owners… Who knows, maybe the API will end up being open source too… I don’t’ know about “traditional” and all. I mean, use the tools available to you. It’s basically a pressure cooker and what’s untraditional about that? I still use my IP all the time. I expect I’ll just have to mark up the buttons when the app finally gives up the ghost, but it’s not like it’s going to or should keel over any time soon. Bummer they’re going belly up though. I haven’t really paid attention since I have no need for one, but I’m guessing there are other smart options similar to what the IP does out there by now. Cristóbal From: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> <viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> > On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2023 11:40 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Enjoy your Instant Pot while it lasts - the company has filed for bankruptsy I know many on the list bought into the Instant Pot craze about 4 or 5 years ago, I kept considering it and was waitiand waiting for the new Smart model (not the Bluetooth one) to come out and to be available for a reasonable price here in Canada. At one point it was somewhat reasonable, but I thought it would go on sale again and then it didn't and then it seemed to disappear. Now I just came across an article on CBC News about Instant Brands which apparently came into existance when Instant Pot and Corelle Brands merged, another rwell-known brand which is part of that company's port folio is Pyrex cookware. In the article it says that Instant Brands has gone into Chapter 11 bankruptsy protection and that the assets of the company may be liquidated. Of course it is quite possible that maybe some other outfit picks up some or all of the pieces although I believe the era of the Instant Pot and similar all-in-one cooking appliances has passed and was nothing more than a fad. In the end I am glad I didn't get one of these gadgets as I actually do like cooking according to more traditional methods making things from scratch and with local ingredients including those we grow in our own garden in the summer and fall. .
