Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1 Pressure Cooker Slow Cooker Rice Grain Cooker Steamer Saut Sous Vide Yogurt Maker Sterilizer

I’ve owned a few multi-cookers over the years, but this Instant Pot Pro is the one that finally made me ditch my original. The sous vide function alone is worth it — it holds temperature beautifully, and my steaks and salmon come out perfect every single time. No extra gadgets cluttering up the kitchen anymore. The yogurt feature is another winner. It works like a charm; I make yogurt multiple times a week and it’s consistently thick, smooth, and way better than store-bought. I love that I can go from heating the milk to fermenting all in one pot with zero fuss. Overall, this thing is a powerhouse. Faster preheat, tons of preset options, easy steam release, easy cleanup — it just makes cooking stupidly convenient. The 8-quart size is great for meal prep or feeding a crowd. If you’re on the fence, just go for it. It’s easily the best Instant pot ever! Read more

I upgraded from an older, smaller Instant Pot to the Instant Pot Pro 8 QT, and it’s a huge improvement. The extra capacity is perfect for cooking larger meals, and the new features make it so much easier to use. It heats evenly, cooks quickly, and the controls are more intuitive than my older model. Cleanup is simple too. Overall, this is a big step up — faster, more versatile, and perfect for family-sized meals. the best part is the easy pressure release switch feels safer to use and more intuitive. Highly recommend!

This thing is amazing. So far we have cooked rice and refried beans. Both came out perfectly and works fast. I really love that the inner pot has handles with rubber on them so taking the pot out is easy even when still hot. A good number of presets and easy to adjust settings. This is my first Instapot, but I've used my mom's lower quality Instapot, and this one is so much better. A little pricey, but worth it. Read more

I am 100% obsessed with my instant pot and use it every single day - our stove was out of commission for a while, so I started using this and even when our stove worked, I kept using it. It's SO EASY, truly one pot cooking. Honestly, the only buttons it NEEDS are "manual" (for pressure cooking), "slow cook" and "saute," because you have full customization within those three options for pressure, temperature, cook time etc, but it has tons of options for those who just want to push one button and be done with it! It's stainless, so it's not leaching anything into to your food, and it pressure cooks AND does slow cooking. I LOVE the Pro. I was using the Instant Pot Duo for years, and when it finally died last year I upgraded to the pro and could not be happier with the upgrade for 3 main reasons: a) the handles on the pot inserts! I can finally easily lift and remove the insert when something needs to come off the heat (and/or to switch out inserts to make something else). Oh my gosh, I can't believe these handled pot inserts aren't standard on every style of instant pot. With their OTHER style, the Duo, there aren't any handles, just a thin lip around the pot, which means lifting the insert (when full) is a precarious, hot affair. b) the high/low saute function. This was a GAME-CHANGER! In the duo, with only the HIGH setting, it was easy to burn things when sauteeing pre-pressure cooking. Now I can even make perfectly cooked scrambled eggs in this thing. c) the timer that you can set for AFTER cooking! With pressure cooking, sometimes you need a 10-min release, sometimes 5-mins, and you can program that right in so it'll beep to alert you when it's time to release the remaining pressure - I LOVE that! It does everything for you. I WILL SAY: the "low" setting on slow cook seems a little TOO low. When I do something on low for a lot of hours - it almost never seems done so I often have to follow up with a couple of minutes of pressure cooking to make sure it's finished - which isn't ideal. I'm not sure if that's an overall design flaw or just MY particular unit. But I mostly slow cook on high, and that's never been an issue. Read more

Admittedly, I am a Ninja fan, and have been using a Ninja Foodi OL700 for the last 3 years. I have loved the versatility of this pressure cooker since it has only one lid and functions include Steam and Cook, Broiling, and so much more. Alas, my beloved pressure cooker has been giving me an error message that, according to customer service, indicates the circuit board is going. Although I will continue to use it, I know it is dying and have been on a mission to find a replacement for it. Since the available Ninja Pressure Cookers have 2 lids, I don't want to have to store a separate lid. I did research a number of different pressure cookers and the options they provided, but none of them met my basic requirements. Since Instant Pot is a known and trusted brand, I found this pressure cooker. Granted, it doesn't have all of the functionality I had gotten used to, but it would accomplish most of the tasks of a pressure cooker with the options that are important to me. In my testing, it preheated for both steaming and pressure cooking in about 8 minutes which is faster than others I tested. So, what do I like about this pressure cooker? 1) The stainless steel cooking pot is easy to clean and doesn't stain or wear as the cooking pot provided for the Ninja OL700 pressure cooker. This is a definite plus over the Ninja pressure cooker. 2) The cooking pot has handles for removing the pot from the pressure cooker. This is definitely a plus as most pressure cookers, including Ninja, require heat-resistant gloves to remove the pot from the cooker. 3) The handles on the insert pot also hold the pot in place for stirring. With other cookers, you have to hold the pot with heat-resistant gloves when you stir the contents so that the pot doesn't spin. 4) I use my pressure cooker for steaming vegetables I grow at least 2 times a week. Some of the pressure cookers I found steamed under pressure. This pressure cooker does not steam under pressure. So, a vented glass cover can be used for steaming. This makes cleanup easier as the pressure lid is more difficult to clean and dry than a glass lid. I bought the vented glass lid to use for steaming in this unit. In addition, you don't have to empty or dry the condensation collector when using a lid for steaming since the steam and water stay in the pot. 5) The sauté' mode of this pressure cooker allows selection of multiple levels of heat whereas other have only low or high as options. Since I often make gravy using roast dripping, I have found that low is too low and high boils. Since gravy requires simmering, neither if these options works. I like that I can select the heat level I need with this model. 6) Settings are retained for each function. So, you don't have to reset setting when using the same function multiple time as I do for steaming large batches of veggie greens. 7) Preheats faster than other units I tested. It took about 8 minutes to preheat for both steaming and pressure cooking starting with cold water. I appreciate that I don't have to use preprogrammed settings when I don't need to, and when I do, the settings are easily changed. Overall, I am happy with this pressure cooker. It doesn't have all of the functions my Ninja Pressure Cooker has, but it works for what I need, and it is the best I have found. UPDATE 08/10/25: I have been using this pressure cooker for about 4 months, and use it almost every day and sometimes twice in a day. I have grown to love this pressure cooker even more than my beloved Ninja pressure cooker. It lacks some of the functions of the Ninja unit such as air frying, but I have multiple ovens that air fry. My primary uses for t pressure cooker is for pressure cooking and steaming. The stainless steel pot is so much nicer and easier to clean than the non-stick pots, and it doesn't stain or wear out as the non-stick pots do. For steaming, I have the cover that fits the pot, so I don't have to clean a pressure lid. The handles on the pot prevent the pot from rotating when ingredients are stirred, and facilitate removal of the pot without heat resistant gloves. Multiple levels for the sauté mode are so very useful for making gravy from the drippings of a pressure cooked roasts which are cooked to perfection vs. other methods of cooking. I could go on and on about what I love about this pressure cooker. I can only say, if you are looking for a great pressure cooker with a lot of functionality, this is the one to buy. I hope this review was helpful for you. Read more
