New Pressure Cooker

DH has bought me a King Pro plus electric pressure cooker. I confess I am terrified of pressure cookers as my Mum always seemed to be blowing them up- I remember having to help get the stew off the kitchen ceiling on more than one occasion!
Does anyone have any tips? I am just about to try an Oxtail casserole which is supposed to take 30 mins.
If I can get used to it it will save an awful lot of electricity & time I know. It is also a slow cooker & does rice, pasta, fish, puddings etc. so other than baking I could use it for most meals-if I can just get used to it.
I have to say it is totally silent & when steam comes out you can't hear it at all. Maybe they have improved beyond recognition!

Thank you Mamissimo

I have just had a look in there, the Instant Pot is over £100! The King Pro Plus is around £60. Not sure that the current budget would allow for the Instant Pot.
