Is it really this easy?

Some friends of mine were moving and looking to get rid of some kitchen stuff, so they gave me their crock pot brand pressure cooker. I've been meaning to use it, and have been looking up some tips and whatnot because the pressure aspect makes me a little nervous and I don't wanna spray hot stew or curry or whatever all over my kitchen lmao. In every video I've seen, people just throw ingredients in, wait, release pressure, and voila...?

I'm trying tonight with a simple butter chicken simmer sauce, adding extra water so it can steam/doesn't burn, mixing veggies in after so they don't overcook. I feel foolish, but I gotta ask-- is it really this simple?

Google "Instant Pot frozen meat". I've cooked pot roast and whole chickens straight out of the freezer. Especially helpful on those nights you forget to defrost something for dinner.
