The only thing I don't like about it is the quick release pressure valve. I'm used to being able to pick up the whole pot, put it in the sink, and run cold water over the lid to quickly reduce the pressure with the old school pressure cooker. The IP has to stay in place on the counter and because of how my cabinets are built, they get sprayed with the steam and whatever is in the pot. Fortunately, one of the YouTube videos I watched recommended putting a dish towel over the quick release valve when you open it. I will try that next time.

At least it's safer than opening a hot car radiator.

The ham and beans were delicious, BTW!

I saw these at Amazon:



and have been thinking of getting one.

Bought one of those but found the spray still needs to go someplace so put it in a drawer and just use a towel now.
