Since the silicone sealing ring is screwed into the pressure cooking cover, there’s no way to use separate rings for savory and sweet foods. A warm, home-cooked meal any time you want? Yes please. The delay start* timer function allows you to pop your ingredients into the Instant Pot in the morning, or the night before, and set it to start at the time you want – between 10 minutes and 24 hours. Even if you arrive home later than expected, the keep warm function (which can be set for up to 10 hours) will ensure you sit down to a hot dinner, and 11 built-in safety features ensure peace of mind, whatever your chosen cooking method. Push the red button to release the pressure cooking cover. Once the button is pushed, the cover will release and fall, so be sure to have your finger in the loop provided to prevent it from clattering against the cooking pot. Before buying be aware: Since doing this review, we’ve heard some users complain that they have been having trouble with the float valve not dropping and are unable to open their lid even hours after the cooking cycle has ended. One user was able to get the valve to drop by banging on the lid, another dropped her IP from about an inch above the counter and the valve dropped – not something we recommend.

The control panel on the front has all the “wet” cooking functions in a column on one side, and the “dry” cooking functions on the other. A dial in the middle is used to adjust the temperature and cooking time. Just above it, an LED display shows you the cooking time, temperature, progress (pre-heating, cooking or keep warm), plus any cooking instructions such as “close the lid” or “turn food”. Unlike this model’s stablemate which has two separate lids for extra inconvenience, this model has just one lid for both pressure cooking and air frying. However, it does require removing an internal all-metal lid when air frying and this lid will be incredibly hot if you’ve just used the machine for pressure cooking or steaming, so wear gloves or use a tea towel when removing it. We found the control panel incredibly easy to navigate, especially for someone new to pressure cookers, and the material is durable and easy to clean. This model is heavy and has a large footprint, but if you're using it to replace several appliances, you might be leaving it out on your kitchen countertop (rather than pulling it out as needed, as some do with their pressure cookers). Easy-to-read button layout with pressure cooking buttons on the left and air fry functions on the right, as well as the knob/button combination for making selections. Compared with other models we’ve tried, the cooking chamber is wider and shallower, which means more surface area to cook on. This was particularly useful for the air fryer function, which we found to be much more efficient than other models we’ve tested. Our go-to recipe – sweet-potato fries – was ready in 15 minutes instead of the usual 20, and they cooked evenly all the way through. It also came in handy for sautéing, as there was more room to spread out the ingredients.EvenCrisp technology ensures tender, juicy meals with a crisp, golden finish every time using 95% less oil The Instant Pot is one of the best-known electric pressure cookers.
