Instant Pot owner here. I've had mine for about 2 years and use it around twice a week. I gave the Crockpot away several months after I purchased the Instant Pot as I wasn't using it. I too like the stainless pot. I accidentally burned something a couple of weeks ago and just put some bleach in it, let it sit overnight, and just had to wipe and rinse the next day. Barkeepers Friend is a great idea as well.
