Instant Pot PRO Max Wi-Fi Smart 10-in-1 Pressure Cooker Steamer Saute Warmer Rice Cooker Yogurt Maker Sous Vide

Instant Pot? Pretty sure they just went under because *they're product is SO good that you won't need to buy a new one for years*. Yeah. So if you have an opportunity to get one, get one while you still can. It makes a ton of food, they're big. You can cook all manner of food in here, with different cook modes. Super easy to use. Super easy to clean. And what's really cool about this thing (past how it's just a perfect pressure cooker, slow cooker) is that it can hook up to wifi. Yeah, so I'd slow cook food while I was at work and I could monitor the thing on the app. It's a kitchen must. No doubt one of the great culinary inventions of the 21st century Read more

Awesome accessibility:I have owned an Instant Pot for the last nine years and my original one just died. Accessibility and ease of use for me is extremely important. I happen to be a person who is blind and am a huge Instant Pot fan. So when I knew that I could connect the device to Wi-Fi and have it work seamlessly through the app without dealing with the touchscreen, I was sold. In the last week I have made several meals and I couldn't be more pleased. If you are a person who is blind or has low vision, you can be sure that the app works nearly flawlessly. The only accessibility issue is that you have to turn on screen recognition to find the start button in order to choose the mode of cooking. Love the two handles on the pot that keeps things from twirling around as I'm stirring. I couldn't be more pleased with all the things that it can do which I have yet to explore. Read more

This is my second instant pot. My IP Ultra model recently died so I had to upgrade. Here are several important differences from previous models: 1) The inner pot has two hand holders - this is great because the previous models would swirl around when stirring. This new version prevents that from happening. 2) The cord is not removable - not a huge deal, but wondering why they would make this change. The cord is located in the back left corner. So plugging into an outlet on the back right made for a strange bend in the cord. Wondering why they can't simply place the cord in the back middle. Not a deal breaker for me, but you should be aware of it. 3) Steam valve: this works a bit differently than other models. No way to manually vent or release steam. It has to be done through the control panel. It is possible to change the setting mid-stream, but there is a delay of a few seconds once you input on the control panel. 4) Older IP accessories may not work - I used to do Pot-in-Pot cooking with a 2 level PIP on top of a trivet. This worked fine in my Instant Pot Ultra. But the first time I tried it in my IP Pro Plus, the pin got stuck, and the lid locked closed. I couldn't open it because the pin needed room to clear. I managed to figure a way out to open it by turning the pot upside down. But this new IP seems to have a slightly lower clearance. So you'll have to use a shorter trivet, or a shorter PIP. Otherwise your lid may get stuck in locked mode. The bluetooth/wireless feature seems nice, but I tend to use the pot while I'm at home anyway. So I'm not sure how helpful it will be over time. But you do have the ability to turn on the IP while you're away from home. It involves downloading an app and connecting your IP to the wifi. The phone app gives notifications when the pre-heating is done, so thats a nice feature. The other main reason I bought this was because of the pressure canning. You can fit up to 4 quart size mason jars to can food. This is really nice. Because of its higher temperature/pressure abilities, this IP can theoretically cook food faster vs older models. I haven't tried it out yet. They also have a feature called "Nutriboost". This is simply a feature where the IP lets out steam periodically. Food in the inner pot then gets agitated. If this is done periodically throughout, then the food gets stirred. Its good for things like risotto and dhals where you want a smooth consistency. Its a nice feature but the name is a little misleading -- nothing about this boosts nutrition. It is simply a fancy way to stir your food while pressure cooking. Read more

Our original InstantPot just "bit the dust." We LOVED having it and it produced many, many wonderful memories meals for us. While we mourned the passing of our "Old Faithful" InstantPot, I decided to start researching other electric pressure cookers and again, we came back to InstantPot and wanted to see what options they had. After reading all of the reviews and articles on this particular model, I told my wife 'PLEASE, PLEASE get me this one for Christmas!" She said, you can go ahead and order it but you're not allowed to open it until Christmas! Like anyone, I said YES!!!! I opened it and then downloaded the app being that it is Bluetooth compatible. I cannot tell you enough, what a pleasant surprise it was, to see just how easy it was to set up and connect via our home WiFi. I can now use the app to set the time, the release time, etc. It's amazingly friendly to use and works great. One thing I will tell you is that if you, like me, use the Saute' mode, to first brown meat, you can NOT start hte InstantPot in this mode via the app. You must physically hit the start button in order to have the Saute' mode come on. Yes, you can set it up in the app but cannot physically start the InstantPot in this particular mode. I know I"m repating myself but I want to make sure that everyone understands this. To me, it's a safety feature and I can appreciate why it's done this way. The last thing you want to do is to accidently have your InstantPot start in this mode while you're away or remote. PROS: Excellent quality, every time I turn it on, it immediately conects to the WiFi and can be accessed via the app CONS: None noted at the time of this review. Read more
