Pressure, and the eleven programs you will not use · review
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.
The net of it The one you keep coming back to. Saving a time and a temperature to a single touch sounds minor until the third time you make the same thing; it is the difference between a machine you learn and a machine you re-learn. 1,200 W is published, ten roles are named including a steriliser and sous-vide, and the body is stainless. The omission is the same as the Cosori’s and less forgivable at this price: no pressure figure at all.
The specification that separates this machine from three otherwise comparable ones: cooking times and temperatures can be saved and recalled with one touch.
Most households cook the same handful of things in one of these. Every other machine here makes you rebuild the settings each time; this one makes you build them once. Over a year that is more useful than a program count.
Pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, steriliser, yoghurt maker, sous-vide and more. The steriliser is the unusual one — no other multi-cooker here names it.
As with the whole family, a “role” is a temperature and a duration under a label. It is the pressure underneath that would tell you what the machine does, and that is exactly what is missing.
The wattage is published, which puts this model alongside the Aigostar and ahead of the Midea and the Cosori, neither of which publishes one.
Instant Pot states 20% faster preheating and up to 70% reduced cooking time. The second figure appears without a stated comparison basis in the listing; we report both as the maker’s claims.
5.7 liters of matt black stainless steel — the same capacity as the Cosori, half a liter under the Aigostar and the Midea.
No working pressure. On the most expensive machine in this family, that is the one figure worth complaining about.

Instant Pot states that cooking times and temperatures can be stored and recalled with a single touch. On a machine used for the same three or four dishes most weeks, that turns a sequence of button presses into one — which is the practical difference between this and the other three here.
Instant Pot does not publish a figure for this model. Its 70% time claim is stated without a named comparison basis in the listing, so it cannot be converted. Midea publishes 80 kPa and Aigostar 60 kPa on this site.

6 L · 1,000 W · 60 kPa · 3 pressure levels
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.
5.7 L · ceramic pot · 14 programs
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.
Best for: A cook who cares more about the interlocks and the cleaning than about kPa.
6 L · 80 kPa · stainless inner pot
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.
