Overview
Instant Pot builds the RIO around a stainless steel cooking pot, a sealing ring and an outer lid that closes under pressure. An Easy-Release switch vents steam, and the same base slow cooks, sautes, steams, makes rice and yogurt, and warms.
One appliance covers most weeknight methods, from pressure cooking to yogurt, which frees counter space. The slim modern design and dishwasher safe parts help with storage and cleanup. Program count and exact preset names are not given in the listing.
Who it's for
Busy cooks in small to mid-size households can replace a rice cooker and slow cooker with one base. Large families cooking big batches, and anyone wanting an air fryer lid, should look at a bigger or different model.
Pros and cons
- Seven cooking methods in one base
- Easy-Release steam switch
- Dishwasher safe parts
- Stainless steel pot
- Program count not listed
- No air fryer function listed
- Mid-size capacity only
Performance notes
Pressure raises the boiling point of water inside the sealed pot, which is why tougher foods cook in less time than on a stovetop. The sealing ring and outer lid hold that pressure, and the Easy-Release switch vents it when cooking ends. Slow cook, saute and yogurt modes use the same heating base at lower or varied heat.
