Go slow buying add on products till you find out what you need.Check your own pots .& pans to find a lid that fits for using the slo cooker mode.Try baking in a small Pyrex pan to see if you like baked texture.Pans for cheesecakes are expensive. You might have small Pyrex bowls that will work. If you have recipes for a regular pressure cooker,most will work in the Instant Pot.My fav is soup.....so good.Google Instant Pot recipes to get some ideas.
