This is actually so gross. Do companies like Instant Pot think this will make people outside of the States like them any better? I wanted an Instant Pot but they can go to hell now. Like hell I’m supporting a company supporting a president threatening annexation of my country

The Crock Pot branded essentially knockoffs are good. We've had one for years. Haven't seen anything about ill-advised political pandering there so far, at least.

In 2008, Robert Wang, Yi Qin, and one other friend, all former employees of Nortel in Ottawa, Canada, started working on designs for the Instant Pot.[4] Wang is credited as the inventor of the Instant Pot.

Apparently, the Instant Pot is out of Canada, interestingly enough.

Have you heard anything about Ninja? I can't seem to find much about SharkNinja and Trump other than comments about the tariffs....

[–] poprocks@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Ninja is what we have - good brand and wide range of products.
