Thanks very much. I especially want it for bone broth; and you’re right - the modern crockpots go to a boil no matter what.
We’re also thinking it would be good for things like spaghetti squash and acorn squash, that take so long in the oven.
Yes, any hard squash can be cooked easily in the Instant Pot. If you use squash puree a lot, it’s very easy to cook the squash, peel and seed it, and then return the chunks to the same pot and use Saute to make your puree with an immersion blender - no non-stick coating to scratch up and just one pot.
