Instant Pot Ceramic Inner Cooking Pot 8-Qt Non-Stick Coated Interior Rice Cooker Cooking Pot for Slow Cooking Gray

New review after buying the 6 quart inner pot: We also have a 6 quart Cosori Electric Pressure Cooker. I took a chance that this might fit even though it apparently doesn't work in all other EPCs... but it fits, PERFECTLY! So now we have all the benefits of the liner for the 8 quart machine, but for our smaller Cosori cooker. I use it mainly with slow-cooker function. These are SO nice for making bone broth, which can form a ring... but with this any ring that forms cleans out really easily with NO scrubbing. Same with making chili! This liner is also great for slow cooked overnight oatmeal! I still don't use it to sauté anything... for that I use the heavier bottomed stainless inner pot that came with the machine. For pressure cooking there's generally enough steam that the stainless inner pots stay pretty clean. I do my rice as pot-in-pot in a round pyrex dish (equal parts rice and water)... usually the 7 cup one. When we've taken what we need for dinner... the plastic storage lid goes on, and into the fridge... no mess at all -- and the rice is perfect every time! But for those long slow cooks that can leave a stainless pot a bit harder to clean up... the ceramic liner is perfection! Both of these liners were the less expensive items that had been returned to Amazon. In both cases I chose ones which indicated no damage, and in both cases I received pots in perfect condition with the original packing materials (the inner styrofoam to protect the pot's rim) intact. Original review of 8 quart pot: We needed a second inner pot and had planned on buying another stainless pot, but found this one on a good sale because of being returned, so decided to give it a try... and we could not be happier! The ceramic interior is VERY easy to clean. I have noted the photos by people where the ceramic has started to break down on the bottom of the pot... this inner pot does not have the thick bottom disk that is a part of the stainless inner pot. I am also a bit surprised that the outside of this inner pot is also covered with ceramic. It would seem it might hold up a bit better if the outside had been plain metal, with the ceramic only on the inside of the pot. So... I will probably NOT be using this with the sauté function... but for cooking down chicken bones for soup, using with the slow-cooker function, etc --- and with that I am hopeful it will last a long time, as it's just a wonderful addition for our IP!

This was a good purchase. Nothing sticks. Washes up nicely. Read more

I have loved having this as an alternative pot and for slow cook items where burning could be easier to happen and this protects from that. I use this frequently and it cleans easily, stores well and has a nice thick feel to it. Its functionality is an asset and it’s great have versatile pot types. Heavier feel, nice color, and fits the 8qt instapot I have perfectly. Read more

I purchased this because I had purchased a second-hand d6 qt. Instant Pot and needed to replace the stainless steel pot (former owners didn't care for it properly). This fit perfectly. Now my meals will just slide out and the pot will be easier to clean. Read more

Pros: Versatile Use: Works well for pot-in-pot cooking, reheating, and defrosting, fitting perfectly in mini–Instant Pot. A good addition to cook specially rice and other food that sticks to the default stainless steel pot Easy to Clean: Non-stick coating makes clean-up effortless, reducing the risk of food sticking and burning. Durable and High Quality: Sturdy construction, fits well with instant Mini Instant Pot model, and offers excellent performance. Cons: Not Easy to Clean: Initial cooking found it challenging to clean, especially after cooking sticky foods and eventually got better on repeated use with foods with oil. Update :01/02 the non-stick is not that great and food sticks.. If i were to buy again i would go with the original stainless steel pot instead of this nonstick Read more

I've been using the ceramic inner pot for my Instant Pot, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Compared to the traditional stainless steel inner pot, the ceramic version is much more convenient to use. Food doesn't stick as easily, making it ideal for a variety of cooking methods, especially sautéing and slow cooking. One of the best features is how easy it is to clean. Even after cooking stews, rice, or sticky dishes, a quick rinse with warm water and mild detergent is usually enough to get it spotless. Unlike stainless steel, it doesn't require heavy scrubbing, and it maintains a clean, smooth surface without much effort. Overall, the ceramic inner pot has made my cooking experience with the Instant Pot even more enjoyable. It's a great upgrade and highly recommended for anyone looking for better performance and easier maintenance.👍👍👍👍👍 Read more
