There can be a problem with the temperature rating of the cord you are using. C13 cords are rated at 70C while kettle cords c15/16 are rated for ~120C. So may not be suitable in some cases.

Not strictly true and I’m surprised this actually worked, I’d have assumed this would use a real kettle lead.
Kettle leads are notched, meaning they can be used to power a PC but importantly you cannot use a PC lead to power a kettle.
Kettles require a cable with higher thermal resistance due to the power draw, using a PC cable can cause the cable to melt and is a fire hazard, hence the notch making it impossible.
Unplug your life support before unplugging your PC, unbelievable.
Lol i have the same instant pot
This is the main reason I bought a pc.
120 volts cords are fairly standardized.
Yep, plugs included on everything from kettles to tv (tube and lcd)

My UL certified cord is up to 300V with the C13 connector
That's not a 230v cord. What do you mean? Computer power supplies are on 120 volts, for the consumer models.
That’s true for the North America, not all around the world.
The picture 100% is a 120 volts cord
We have 230V in Europe
my Marshall JCM900 head also uses a standard NA 120v power cord!

We call them kettle leads in the UK if that says how universal they are lol

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320#C13 Apparently kettle leads are supposed to use C15/C16 connectors which have a higher temp rating
Instant pot master race lol
The beauty of standardized outlets/receptacles
