I'm always sad when I hear someone say that they haven't IP and they are afraid to use it. I probably have more reason to be afraid of it than a lot of people because 3 weeks before I got mine, my Oster pressure cooker blew up. I was about eight feet from it and didn't get hurt but my kitchen is 15 by 20 and it splattered every wall and everything in my kitchen. Three weeks later I got mine, but it's a Chinese knockoff that is built just like an IP. It was the only thing available in Costa Rica at the time. It has all the safety features of an IP and I use it three or four times a week with no fear.
With your impressive repertoire of menus, I don't see that it would add a lot to your style of cooking but there are so many little things that I use it for that are time-savers and actually improve the quality of the food being cooked. It is a wonderful rice cooker, makes perfect boiled eggs every time in under 15 minutes, is great for steaming vegetables, and makes a lot of quick desserts. To get a better idea of what I am saying just check out our Multi Cooker thread. And to address your fear of the IP please check out this article.
