Yes they do, I am going to try it one day!

What we do is buy the pre-made meals at Costco. We’ve tried a few that we like:

Stuffed Bell Peppers
Korean BBQ
Enchiladas

The bell peppers are the best I have ever had. I like that the InstanPot steams the pepper really well.

Also, I was tired of cleaning the bottom of the insert so I bought these, I reuse them but clean up is SO much easier. It fits right inside of ours which is a 8qt. I put the peppers in here so everything stays in place. I also like the other meals cooked in this:

I put it on top of the little rack that came with the Instapot.

I used the pan you show there for my cake, but be sure you put the pan in the pot BEFORE you pour in the batter. I filled the pan and then tried to put it inside...no bueno, BIG mess. It wasn’t strong enough and kept wiggling and bending...everyone else probably already knows that, but I had a senior moment

My biggest success was last year’s Thanksgiving Turkey.

I stuffed it before cooking, and a 12lb bird took 30 minutes; leaving your oven free for all of the other goodies.

Wow! That’s impressive! I thought of doing a whole chicken but I like it crispy.

Me too- I feel like if you take it out and run it under the broiler in your oven for a minute you'll get there?

I have yet to cook a bird in my insta pot. I almost did today when my turkey breast didn't fit in the crock pot I intended to use but I threw it in my dutch oven instead because I didn't have time to google recipes.
