Who the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker 6 Qt is for

Buy it if: Anyone who wants unattended, timed cooking and will adjust timings upward from stovetop recipes.

Avoid it if: Anyone expecting stovetop-cooker speed -- lower pressure plus preheat makes it slower, not faster.

Who the Simplehuman Stainless Steel Frame Countertop Dish Rack is for

Buy it if: Anyone whose counter layout does not match a fixed-spout rack, in a humid kitchen.

Avoid it if: Anyone short of counter space -- 36 x 33 cm is a large permanent footprint.
