Most US devices have a voltage range of 110-120V.  Most of Mexico has 127Volts.  So in order to avoid risking overvoltaging your device, you would need a reducer transformer.  Typically, they reduce by 15 Volts, bringing the Mexico voltage to 112V which is within the range of your device.

Based on your comment, I'll look further into the subject.

 

A short time passes: Well, you're right, it seems. 

https://www.electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk/guidance/advice-for-you/when-travelling/travel-adaptor-for-mexico/#:~:text=Mexico operates on a 127V supply voltage and 60Hz.

 

You can determine whether you’ll need to use a converter or transformer, by looking at the appliance rating plate.

A dual voltage rated appliance will display for example ‘INPUT: 110-240V’ on the body of the appliance or its power supply. This means that you will not need a converter or transformer but just a travel adaptor, because Mexico operates on a 127V supply voltage, which is within the 110-240V range that the dual voltage appliance operates on.

 

Thanks so much for jumping in.  I'll check the power requirements of the Instant Pot later today.
