Is this power cable adequate for an IP?

Proud new Instant Pot owner here—found a practically unused 6 qt Viva V1 in a FREE box on the sidewalk, all the accessories still in their original plastic wrapping! Imagine my luck! However, the one thing missing was the power cable, and I want to make sure I can safely use one I already had at home. I’ve read up that non-IP cables aren’t always rated for this usage, but my old guitar amp’s cable seems to have the appropriate specs:

SJT 300V 18/3 105C is written on the cable itself, and the end that plugs into the IP reads 125V/10A.

This seems up to snuff, and the suggested Initial Test Run in the manual appears to have worked just fine, but I want to make sure it’s safe before I run longer programs. I’ll order a new cable if it’s not. Thanks!
