Overview
The Instant Pot 6QT RIO packs seven cooking functions, pressure cooking, slow cooking, saute, steam, rice, yogurt, and warm, into one 6-quart stainless pot, with 13 preset one-touch programs and an easy-release steam valve.
The 6-quart size lands in the middle of the RIO range, sized for family meals rather than singles or large batch cooking.
- 13 one-touch smart cooking programs
- 1000-watt power, UL and ULC listed
- Tri-ply stainless steel anti-spin pot
- Over 10 built-in safety mechanisms
Who it's for
Families cooking regular meals who want pressure cooking, slow cooking, saute, steaming, rice, and yogurt in one appliance are the natural buyer, especially anyone replacing a bulkier full-size Instant Pot. Someone who only needs a single function, just a rice cooker or just a slow cooker, will find the other six functions going unused.
Pros and cons
- Seven functions replace multiple single-use appliances
- Easy-Release switch simplifies venting steam
- Pressure cooks frozen meat tender without thawing
- Lid and inner pot are dishwasher safe
- Smaller than a full-size Instant Pot for large batches
- Glass lid sold separately from some sets
