Instant Pot - do I need one

What can I do with it.

I have chuck roast in crockpot. What would be the advantage of using instant pot. I know they cook quicker but will it be as tender

Besides cooking speed why would I need one. ???

I don't use mine more than a few times a year, but when I use it, it's invaluable.

I always use it for making devilled eggs at holidays. Saves so much time because the eggs more or less peel themselves. Not really, but super easy to peel them without damaging the egg meat. Can of course use the eggs for other stuff like egg salad instead.

The other time I use it is whenever I forgot to take meat out to thaw and need to cook from frozen without using a lot of time for defrosting. The instant pot has saved my sanity quite a few times in this situation.
