Pressure, and the eleven programs you will not use · review
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.
The net of it The specification-led choice. 80 kPa is the highest published pressure here and the stainless inner pot is the longest-lived component in the family — coatings are what fail on these machines, and this one does not have any. Midea also publishes a real safety instruction rather than a slogan: do not turn the release valve after cooking liquids. Against that, no wattage is published, and the function count differs between the name and the text.
The highest published working pressure of the four multi-cookers here. Aigostar publishes 60 kPa; the Cosori and the Instant Pot publish nothing. Pressure is what changes cooking times against an ordinary pan, and it is the one figure in this family that is a property of the machine rather than a label on a button.
Stainless steel. On these machines the inner pot is the wear part — it is scraped, stacked and washed daily — and a coating is what goes first. A stainless pot outlives every coated one, and it is the reason to put this model against the Cosori’s ceramic and the Aigostar’s non-stick.
The product name says 9-in-1; the specification lists 14 functions. Both are Midea’s, and both appear above. The stated modes are worth reading rather than counting: yoghurt, rice, slow cook, sous-vide, steam, pasta, with keep-warm.
Sous-vide on a pressure cooker is a low, held temperature rather than a circulating bath — this site’s sous-vide hub covers the dedicated tools, and the difference between the two is real.
Midea prints an instruction most listings leave out: after cooking liquid foods such as porridge or soup, do not turn the outlet valve or press the steam release. We report it as the manufacturer’s own; the manual with your unit governs the release method for each food.
No wattage, and no count of safety systems — where Aigostar names its valve, its lid lock and its overheat protection.

Because the inner pot is the part that wears out on every electric pressure cooker, and a coating wears faster than steel. Of the four here, Midea and Instant Pot state stainless, Aigostar states non-stick and Cosori ceramic non-stick.
Midea publishes it directly: after cooking liquid foods such as porridge or soup, do not turn the outlet valve or press the steam release. That is the manufacturer’s own instruction, and the manual shipped with your unit is the authority on the release method for each type of food.

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.
1,200 W · 5.7 L · 10-in-1
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.
