Ten functions in one pot is the Instant Pot Pro's pitch: pressure cook, slow cook, saute, steam, sous vide, yogurt, sterilise, bake, rice and keep warm, driven by 28 preset programs from a dial and a digital display. The stainless inner pot is dishwasher safe and the lid seals itself. Slow cooking is the weak function, the interface takes a week to learn, and the lid is awkward to put down. It earns its counter space in a household that pressure cooks most weeks.
- — 10 cooking functions replace multiple appliances including pressure cook, slow cook, sauté, and yogurt making
- — 20% faster preheating and up to 70% quicker cooking times than traditional methods
- — Slow cooking runs hot at the base and needs stirring on long recipes
- — Sous vide holds temperature without circulating the water, so precision is approximate
