I have this Insignia 6qt and have had my first adventures in pressure cooking with it. My advice is that most vegetables/tomatoes will "burn" in the water in the higher liquid temperature in high pressure, where the normal boiling point of 100C can go up to 121C or higher. You can literally burn the ingredients in your stew like I have 6 times already lmao. You'll know once they release an extremely bitter chemical taste that you won't get when simply slow cooking/using the oven.
EDIT: I keep getting replies that this bitterness is quite odd. What I forgot to mention is that I cooked onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes in stock at high pressure AND high temperature for 2 hours or more. At 1 hour you can start tasting the bitterness as well. So to avoid this try to keep cooking times of vegetables within an hour. Kenji Alt of SeriousEats only uses 20 minutes to caramelize 3 pounds of onions: https://www.seriouseats

Having one in cart showed free 2 day shipping. I think some people seeing free shipping vs some people being charged for shipping probably has to do with mybestbuy membership levels.
Thanks OP.
