If Instant Pot goes out of business, I wonder where people should go to get electronic pressurized pots?


They're almost certainly not going to stop making Instant Pots. This is a chapter 11 bankruptcy -- the kind where the business gets restructured but continues to operate.


Faberware and Ninja make some, and I'm sure if the IP IP doesn't get slurped up, Walmart and friends will make store-brand ones. They're not very complicated.


I <3 my Ninja multi-cooker, but they do a HORRIBLE job of marketing the thing with the name alone: Ninja® Foodi® 14-in-1 8-qt. SMART XL Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer with SmartLid®

It's like something I'd read for some white-labelled Chinese product on Amazon; but it's the single most heavily used appliance in my kitchen!


It slices, it dices...it even makes Julienne fries!


Will not break...


The ninja foodi line is pretty good. I've had mine for a few years now. I use the air fry, pressure cook, slow cook, and sous vide functions weekly.


Interestingly, Canadian Tire (very well known establishment up here!) used to sell InstaPot, and pretty much always had it on special. Lately they've shifted toward Ninja brand items.


We bought a Ninja. It's bigger, which is wonderful for our large family, and works great. Has lids for air frying and pressure cooking.


Someone will buy the brand/IP/factories/contracts/etc during bankruptcy and will continue manufacturing them


Amazon? Or have they already come out with an AmazonBasics version?
