Best for Serious Cooks

Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1 6-Quart

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.

$120-$170
Pros
  • Pressurized faster than all 15 models tested by Serious Eats
  • Stainless steel inner pot with silicone handles — safe to grab when hot
  • 28 pre-programmed settings including sous vide, sterilize, and cake
  • Five programmable custom presets for your own recipes
  • WhisperQuiet steam release with diffusing cover for safe venting
Cons
  • Natural pressure release is slower than some competing models
  • Sous vide function is not as reliable as a dedicated immersion circulator
  • More expensive than the Duo and Duo Plus
Why we recommend it

The Pro is the Instant Pot I'd buy if I were starting over. It pressurizes fastest, sears without the inner pot spinning around, and the silicone handles mean you can actually grab it when it's hot. The sous vide function is gimmicky, but everything else is genuinely better.

What the experts said

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

The advanced features make the Instant Pot Pro even more convenient than other models. This model can slow cook, steam, sous vide, and more—it also has five programmable presets for your own recipes.

The Instant Pot Pro is one of the more advanced models in the line, so it might not be the best choice for your first Instant Pot pressure cooker. It's still easy to operate with just a few more features like adjustable custom cooking programs and a precision temperature dial.
