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.
