Our take
If you want to actually control what's happening inside your pressure cooker — not just hit a preset — the Breville Fast Slow Pro is in a different league. Eight pressure levels and an altitude-adjust feature make it the choice for serious cooks who want precision.
If you're buying one pressure cooker to do everything — sear, braise, slow cook, sous vide — the Instant Pot Pro is the one. It pressurizes faster than any other model tested and the silicone-handled inner pot is a genuinely useful upgrade over the base Duo.
