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.
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.
The Instant Pot Pro is one of the more advanced models in the line. It also features a sous-vide cooking function, low and slow water bath, along with 28 other cooking programs.
Good Housekeeping's best overall pick and a top value in multi-cooker roundups, the Duo Plus adds a brighter display, mid-cook adjustments, and cake/egg settings over the base Duo. It's the easiest on-ramp to pressure cooking.
The #1 bestseller on Amazon with over 100,000 reviews averaging 4.7 stars, the Duo delivers reliable pressure cooking, slow cooking, and rice at under $110. CNET, Good Housekeeping, and Epicurious all recommend it as the best entry-level pick.
The most precise electric pressure cooker tested, with 8 adjustable pressure levels from 1.5 to 12 PSI and an altitude-adjust feature. Good Housekeeping named it best overall multi-cooker, and Serious Eats calls it the top pick for control freaks.
Epicurious's top pick over every Instant Pot tested, the Cuisinart outperformed on chicken, beans, and rice with an attached lid design that eliminates awkward maneuvering. Good Housekeeping also rates it best for slow cooking.
