Ummmm .... I certainly wouldn't do it. Bumping the oven on could be hazardous to the Instant Pot too. The heating elements are still underneath the plastic part of the unit, tho it's true they're further away.
Hmmm. That probably would damage the microwave more than the Instant Pot, if it were accidentally turned on with something large and metal inside! |

That could work - I'd probably have to put it in sideways but I don't see why that would be a problem. Even if it is, I could just stand it up on end...
I can't believe I've never seen these valuable space-saving tips anywhere else! |

I think it would fit better upside down. Then you could clean the microwave tray and release the pressure at the same time. |

Rolling unit: that should work fine. These don't move the way a bread machine does. |

Oh and Deb, do know we were kidding about the ovens. Somehow I think an upside-down IP in a microwave releasing pressure might lead to an unwanted sky light. Oh and I would not want to put the IP on my stove for fear of it tipping over or uneven cooking. The stove needs leveled. |

The Walmart BF ad has the 5qt IP-LUX50 model for $49 - any thoughts on that? Seems like it might fit in my microwave better than the 6qt

I wish I could have had the same model with 8. The truth is, even with all the wondrous things that the IP does, you CANNOT fill it, not like a crockpot. Especially for things like stew, soups and other wetter dishes. So, if it says 6qt capacity, really, you have 4qt capacity. While I'm very, very happy with the purchase, don't get me wrong, I wish there had been an 8qt available. Given the nature of much of what you cook with an IP or other PC--stews, boeuf Bourguignonne, chix/dumplings and all that sort of easily-freezable thing, I would have enjoyed more capacity--not less. Spoiler:
Offered solely FWIW. As they say 'round the net, YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary). Hitch |

Amazon has the DUO60 6 Qt 7-in-1 Programmable Instant Pot for $79.99. I paid $140 for mine almost 3 years ago.

Note: Beans cooked in the 3 quart crockpot do not come out near as well as in the 6 quart. Oh and my 6 cup food processor does 2 cups of liquid. |
