The fastest-pressurizing electric multicooker in testing, with 10 functions, a WhisperQuiet steam release, and a handled inner pot that works on any cooktop. Serious Eats and CNET both name it their top pick for experts.
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.
“We've recommended the Instant Pot Pro for years because it sears better than most electric multicookers and is easy to use. This pot pressurized faster than any other pot we tested.”
