Yea, I realize I'm in the minority of people who actually do the test.
I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist with my cooking devices. As in, I also actually read the manual.

THIS is why I did the test. I was baffled a few times during the water test. Just surprised at some things like how long it took to get up to pressure, etc. I was glad that my baffle happened when there was no food in there to worry about messing up. But again, for me, that comes back down to my food perfectionism.
All that to say, once I get comfortable with an appliance, I follow no rules ever.
All recipes and cooking rules become guidelines to me. I wing pretty much everything I put in the IP now and it all comes out amazing!
Whatever you do, you'll get a hang of it quickly! Like everyone else said, the first few times can be a bit of a learning curve but you will very quickly become a pro!
