Pressure, and the eleven programs you will not use · review
Cosori CMC-CO601 review
A 5.7-liter nine-in-one with a ceramic non-stick inner bowl, fourteen smart programs on an LED display, and twelve stated safety features — including a shut-off and release button placed away from the steam outlet. Cosori states cooking up to 70% faster than conventional methods.
The net of it The safety-led one. Twelve features is a count, but the detail that shows real thought is siting the shut-off and release button away from the steam outlet — because the moment you reach for that button is the moment steam is coming out. The ceramic pot cleans well. What Cosori does not publish is the pressure, and on a pressure cooker that is a strange omission: the Midea publishes 80 kPa and the Aigostar 60.
Where the release button is
Twelve safety features is a number. The one that shows somebody thought
about the machine in use is this: Cosori sites the shut-off and pressure
release button away from the steam outlet.
That matters because of when you reach for it. Pressing a release means
steam is about to come out, and a button next to the vent puts a hand
where the steam goes. It is the kind of detail that never appears in a
comparison table.
The pot
Ceramic non-stick, 5.7 liters — the smallest of the four here. Cosori
states the rim, the lid and the inner pot are all easy to clean, which on
a machine with a sealing groove is a real claim rather than a filler one.
It is still a coated pot. The Midea and the Instant Pot in this family use
stainless, and coatings are what wear.
The missing number
No working pressure. On a pressure cooker that is the specification,
and Cosori does not publish it. The 70% faster claim is stated against
conventional cooking methods rather than against another pressure cooker,
so it cannot stand in for kPa.
Programs and display
Fourteen smart programs on an LED display that shows the cooking
status. Nine functions in the name, fourteen programs underneath — the
same arrangement as the Midea, and the same caution applies: a program
is a pressure and a time with a label on it.
The plus side, and the minus

What readers want to know
What pressure does it reach?
Cosori does not publish one, and we do not estimate it. The 70% speed claim is stated against conventional cooking rather than against another pressure cooker, so it cannot be converted into a pressure. Of the four here, only Midea (80 kPa) and Aigostar (60 kPa) publish the figure.
Is ceramic better than ordinary non-stick?
Cosori states the ceramic coating is easy to clean and names the rim, lid and inner pot as easy-clean parts. It is the maker’s own claim rather than a measurement — and either way, a coated pot is a wear part where the Midea’s stainless one is not.
Our score
7.8/ 10
The safety-led one. Twelve features is a count, but the detail that shows real thought is siting the shut-off and release button away from the steam outlet — because the moment you reach for that button is the moment steam is coming out. The ceramic pot cleans well. What Cosori does not publish is the pressure, and on a pressure cooker that is a strange omission: the Midea publishes 80 kPa and the Aigostar 60.

A 6-liter electric pressure cooker that publishes the two figures this family is decided by: 1,000 W and up to 60 kPa, across three selectable pressure levels. Eighteen programs, a non-stick inner pot, more than ten stated safety systems, and — unusually — a printed multilingual recipe book rather than a PDF.
Best for: A first electric pressure cooker, with three pressure levels and something printed to read.
The Instant Pot Pro: 1,200 W in a 5.7-liter stainless body covering ten roles — pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, steriliser, yoghurt maker and sous-vide among them. Instant Pot states 20% faster preheating and up to 70% less cooking time, and that settings can be saved to one touch.
Best for: A cook who repeats recipes and wants the machine to remember them.
The highest published pressure of this family at 80 kPa, in a 6-liter body with a stainless steel inner pot. Midea lists nine functions in the name and fourteen in the specification, covering yoghurt, rice, slow cooking, sous-vide, steaming and pasta, with keep-warm on top.
Best for: Anyone who would rather not own an inner pot with a coating on it.
