I wish the crockpot lid would of been included in the box, had to buy it separately. I came across a recipe to make yogurt in your crockpot, but learned mine 40+ yo crockpot didn't get to the correct temperature. So instead of buying another crockpot, I got the Instant Pot. It will not only tenderize the most toughest of meats (under pressure cooking) but will also slow cook my soups and crockpot meals (with the glass lid).
As to making yogurt, it worked great. Just click on the Yogurt button (after you add the ingredients) and walk away, no wondering if it is hot enough (of course, not being over 40 yo might have something to to with it.)
The 3 qt size if perfect for a small family or a single person (me).
The removable inner pan makes the clean up so much easier. I believe it is stainless steel, because even with a course scrubber it didn't scratch.
There are so many things I can do with it, I am just beginning.
I highly recommend purchasing one of the Instant Pot cookbooks to get more accurate instructions, because the enclosed booklet doesn't really help much. Plus you'll get 100's of recipes to try.

Great Product, Major Typos in User Manual
I purchased this 3 qt. Instant Pot Duo to use in melting specialized wax for lubricating bicycle chains. The optimum temperatures for melting the wax are between 170 and 200 F. The user manual states (contrary to common sense) that the Saute's "Less" level was the highest temperature between the three options, higher than "More". Obviously, temperatures below 200 F aren't going to sear meat, or allow one to stir fry. Additionally, with my first use of this unit to melt wax, there was a lot of unexpected smoking of the wax, as if it was burning. This was a strong indicator that the "Less" temperature was a lot higher than the manual stated.I called customer service at Instant Pot to let them know of the typos in my user manual and to get the correct temperatures. As can be seen in the attached image, I was correct that the manual was way off. I also asked for other more favorable temperature choices and was given Yogurt (183.2 F - 191.8 F) and Slow Cook (~ 201 - 205 F), both far better for my needs.I'm extremely grateful to the helpful support person for giving me this information. Of course, I was notified that I had voided the warranty by using the product outside of its intended design and use, but I had expected this would be the case before I purchased the unit. Hopefully this will last me at least one full riding season of multiple bikes to justify the cost.All this said, I'm very disappointed in how poorly written the manual is, and if I was using this pot to cook it's obvious I would have found out these errors, hopefully before ruining a meal.All in all, the unit works well, but because of how useless the manual is I can't give this product 5 stars. If one is willing to experiment with the settings this will be a useful tool in the kitchen...or for waxing bike chains.
