Are Instapots safe? Arent they another word for pressure cooker?

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

all i know is DO NOT put a fork in there i was cooking my famous mayonaisse casserole and i left a metal fork in there... it exploded and impaled my left arm. i still have a scar. do NOT do this

When I was a kid, Mom had the top blow off a pressure cooker. It left a dent in the ceiling that remained there until she moved out 28 years later. I became of professional chef, and have Still never used a pressure cooker, remembering that incident. 

It's Instant Pot, not Instapot. 

The Instant Pot has more built-in safety features than a regular pressure cooker and is engineered pretty well IMO.   I far prefer it.

The Instant Pot has the ability to cook in a variety of different methods just one of which is pressure cooking.   It can also saute, slow cook, make yogurt and the rice setting magically knows when the rice is cooked. 

I’ve never had problems with mine. It feels pretty thick and sturdy.
