Overview
Instant Pot's Pro line adds a steam release switch and single-lid design to the familiar 10-in-1 formula, covering pressure cooking, slow cooking, steaming, sauteing, sous vide and yogurt in one 6-quart appliance. It suits households wanting to replace several single-purpose cookers with one for family-size meals.
This model sits above Instant Pot's base line, and long-term owners of earlier Instant Pots use it as a point of comparison, some find the Pro's steam release switch and handle design genuine upgrades, while at least one reviewer who owned an early original model felt this newer version was a step backwards in certain respects despite the Pro label.
- 10 cooking functions on one control panel
- Preheats about 20 percent faster than prior models
- Includes extra sealing ring and steamer rack
- Over 800 recipes available through companion app
Who it's for
Families or individuals wanting one appliance for pressure cooking, slow cooking, steaming and more without cluttering cupboard space are the intended buyer. Anyone with a well-functioning older Instant Pot who is not looking to upgrade may not gain much, since one long-term owner found this version a step back in some ways.
