I have been cooking pinto beans/charro beans. So delicious and healthy.

I’ve been wanting to try an instapot — any reason not to get one at the thrift store? They seem to have a lot of them. Any tips on testing them? What functions tend to break easily, if any?

I think the thing most likely to fail is the sealing ring. Replacements are easily obtained. But first take it out, clean it well, and replace it carefully. Often that’s enough.

The sealing ring needs routine maintenance and replacement. The little plastic liquid collection cup is easy to get knocked off in transit. The pressure release valve can go.

So check that it heats when you plug it in, and that the lid buts don’t look broken.
