Good buy!
What I like about it is that the heating elements are in the plates and that they are removable for cleaning. I bought an extra set so I can have two flat or two ribbed.

Re "appearance" the # 8 looks nice and I assume the feed and grinder parts could be removed and stuck in a cupboard

nahh! Just search Amazon for "Halogen Oven"
All you're buying is the top piece which fits on the glass bowl, howerver instead of the glass bowl you're using your instant pot.
Check out point number 7 in their manual under "safeguards": Never use it if your pressure cooker is turned on or plugged in!
Don't waste your money.

Often times a "chop" can be used, just place edge of knife on meat and push strongly with palm. Requires a sharp knife and a relatively thin piece of meat (<3/4 inch).

Regards peeling coatings - do you use the extended warm or even warm function? The Zo I had before was probably 5 - 6 years old and had no problems with peeling/flaking, always hand washed, no metal utensils and never used the keep warm function. It was induction heated and I wonder if that played any part.

I had a previous model which stated 1 cup. I spoke to their customer service (which imho is very good) and they confirmed the 1 cup minimum. Due to personal circumstances I had to replace it with this:
NP-HCC10XH
This new one is the same size as the old, but now allows 1/2 cup amounts, it even has a 1/2 cup marking on the inside of the pot. I find I'm using it more often as it makes a very generous single serving or 2 sufficient servings. The cups referred to are their rice measuring cup. It also has a specific menu setting for Jasmine rice.

@TicT/paulraphael/lindag, your point being...
@Lisa - end grain struck me as a reasonable solution, but also connsidering poly whatever boards as they seem to show cutting marks much more noticably, INDICATING he boards are the loser
