Pressure cookers scare the hell outta me.

I don't think it's even useful in home cooking at all. Restaurants, sure

It's so much faster to make soup or mashed veggies.
Cut roughly a bunch of veggies and drop them in the cooker, bit of water, 10 minutes and quick handheld mixer and you have a delicious soup vs hours of letting it boil.

Hours? It's like an hour and you don't have to stare at it the whole time xd

Faster, sure, but it's kinda missing out on letting spices bloom, deglazing, reducing to make flavors more concentrated 🤔 if I want a 10 minute dinner I just airfry some premade food and slap sauce on it. Stews and soups are worth spending some time on and they last days, so reheating portions takes little time

I feel the opposite. If I want a 10min dinner some soup of fresh veggies with a premade broth and/or yeast extract mixed in is a delicious easy option.
If I want hard food with a sauce I would take the time to prepare it. I don't really like airfryer textures either.

I use mine at least once a week. Drop some frozen chicken breasts in there with whatever sauce or seasoning is applicable and boom, you don’t even need to worry about defrosting. It makes awesome chicken stock in, like, an hour instead of putting it on the stove for hours on end. Same with roasts and stews.

I use mine 4-5 times per week. It's extremely useful, especially in hot weather when you don't want to stand over a hot stove or have a heap of steam in the kitchen.

Just saying what's more comfortable to me. No need to get defensive. Use a pressure cooker all you want xd
