I have both a Dutch oven and an instapot. I like the cooking process and doing things in the Dutch oven step by step. I’ve found myself not using the instapot much.
I know it’s a time saver, but I just like using the Dutch oven more. Anything I’m missing? What could I use it for that may be better (and not simply saving time)?

Making broth/stock
Making rice
Steam foods
There's a lot out of "how to" articles on different things you can use it for.

The whole point is saving time

a dutch oven is what the name entails.... when people only cooked with fire, it allowed them to make an environment like an oven....It also does what everyone else uses it for now as a cast iron pot.
An instapot is a pressure cooker, that can also do everything a crockpot can do. A crock pot was the short cut to do what a dutch oven and an oven did.
The meaning is what goes around comes around, and its one big circle. or maybe i dont know what im talking about.

Not sure I could justify the pressure only model. But I have the Ninja Foodi Pro that does pressure and is an air fryer (and 9 other cooking modes). We don't even bother putting it up since we use it so much.

My wife makes broccoli in it all the time.
I use it for hard boiled eggs. Perfect and easy to peel. Good for me because I eat one every day.

Certain things are better when pressure coooked: stocks, for example. It also makes a fantastically light cheesecake, cooks dried chickpeas in an hour, and makes short work of some things (like pho) that would ordinarily take hours.

I use it mainly as an appliance of convenience.
I cooked chicken thigh tinga, Mexican brown rice, & fijoles negros from dry w/o presoak all in 2 hours.
Properly braised chicken thighs take 45 minutes to one hour, brown rice 45 minutes to an hour, and dried beans no presoak, 2-4 hours.
I also like to meal prep and it comes in handy when batching food for this application.

A quick $20-$50 on Craigslist?

My brother cooks a big pork butt under 2 hours in his. Adds a little natural liquid smoke and dry rub and it's pretty good.
I'm a caveman that still likes fire & chunks of wood for 8-12 hours, and the beers during the cook.
