The Pro pressurizes faster than any other model in Serious Eats' 15-pot test, sears better than most electric multicookers, and adds sous vide, sterilize, and five custom presets. It's the upgrade that actually earns its price.

“We've recommended the Instant Pot Pro for years because it sears better than most electric multicookers and is easy to use.”
