I'm sorry for your loss.
Updating to a new appliance isn't something I look forward to, so I guess that's why I'm always reading up on new things as they come along. In case it's helpful, I was just reading this on Serious Eats: https://www.seriouseats.com/best-instant-pot-5205586 I've only got a three quart model, bought some good many years ago now. Still going strong. Love it in summer when it helps me not heat up the kitchen. Most recently I used it to cook some artichokes. They were huge, and only one fit at a time, but it was so easy. Just added some water, set them on a little rack, pressure cooked for 10 minutes, let the pressure drop on its own for 10 more minutes, then opened the unit. Oh, and I used it to cook some yellow squash, also huge. I'm reasonably certain they're WILDLY overcooked, but tasty. I do think squash in the pressure cooker is overkill, LOL! Just wanted to avoid a hot pan on the stove now that the weather's warming up. Other than that, I like to use mine for boiling peanuts, making chicken broth, and cooking saucy things like chili and spaghetti sauce. Dried beans are easy too. Oh, and my three quart model is really too small, IMO. Sure, useful, but I sometimes wish I had a huge one so I could make a lot of chicken broth at once. So tasty.
