Epicurious's surprise #1 pick that outperformed every Instant Pot model in head-to-head cooking tests. The attached lid, intuitive LCD interface, and nonstick inner pot make it the most user-friendly electric pressure cooker you can buy.
Epicurious was shocked it beat the Instant Pot too — but the Cuisinart's consistently superior cooking results and attached lid (no awkward maneuvering) make a compelling case for anyone not brand-loyal to Instant Pot.
“Shocked that an Instant Pot isn't our top pick? Us too. While Instant Pot models are certainly great, this Cuisinart machine consistently outperformed them on every cooking tasks we tried. Chicken thighs were rendered wonderfully tender with an excellent pull-apart texture; beans were soft and flavorful but still retained their shape; and rice fluffed up perfectly without a hint of gluiness.”

“We liked that the lid was attached to the body of the machine, which eliminated the need to awkwardly maneuver it on and off. The LCD interface is also wonderfully intuitive, and we liked that steam is vented at the touch of a button.”

“In our Lab test, Cuisinart's multi-cooker slow-cooked a tender beef stew that gave our top pick, the Breville, a run for its money. If this is your main mode of cooking, the Cuisinart is half the price of the Breville and slow cooks better than most other multi-cookers we tested.”
