FYI, new manual pressure cookers are still a thing. A recently-made used one is fine, and obviously best in terms of minimizing cost and manufacturing and such, but it's better to resort to buying new than to get a really old one with a less-safe design.
Electronic pressure cookers made by companies other than Instant Pot are a thing too, by the way.
Another way to accomplish that would be to get a portable induction burner and set a manual pressure cooker on top of it.
I love the convenience of the electric ones and the programmability. But tech ethics makes them a minefield. One advantage of the manual ones is they can do much higher pressures. The so while the electric ones give more control by giving programs and timers, they give less control over the pressure level. IIRC the InstantPot just has low and high. And “high” pressure is still relatively low.
Ideally we need a FOSS pressure cooker.
