In 2008, Robert Wang, Yi Qin, and one other friend, all former employees of Nortel in Ottawa, Canada, started working on designs for the Instant Pot.[4] Wang is credited as the inventor of the Instant Pot.
Apparently, the Instant Pot is out of Canada, interestingly enough.
That's the founders, they don't own it anymore

I just prepared another company to add to my boycott list.

This is actually so gross. Do companies like Instant Pot think this will make people outside of the States like them any better? I wanted an Instant Pot but they can go to hell now. Like hell I’m supporting a company supporting a president threatening annexation of my country
Have you heard anything about Ninja? I can't seem to find much about SharkNinja and Trump other than comments about the tariffs....

The Crock Pot branded essentially knockoffs are good. We've had one for years. Haven't seen anything about ill-advised political pandering there so far, at least.

"Instant Pot Brands" (and others)
Noted. I have now stopped recommending these. It's a shame, the device itself is ok. But I'm sure there are alternatives.

I'm amazed it took them this long to realize that his subjects will literally buy anything with this name on it.

We are not guaranteed to come out of this at all, acting blithe about it isn't helping

Ninja is what we have - good brand and wide range of products.

Do they offer the promised cheaper eggs, too?

It should be "I bought this before its creator was acquired by a private equity firm"
Then it could be used with all sorts of products

Well, fuck Instant Pot, I guess. My friend loves hers, but now I can never buy one. Might need to tell her to get rid of hers.
What's a good alternative?
Also, fuck Lenox.

Don't get rid of a perfectly usable product just because the company's gone wacko.

Goddammit. I use my InstantPot every fkn week. I guess once this one croaks, I’ll try the Ninja version. Friend of mine says it’s great. I’ll do my homework and make sure they don’t openly support slavery or eugenics.
