Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1 Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker

The Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker offers a range of cooking functions in one convenient appliance. With features such as pressure cooking, slow cooking, rice cooking, steaming, sautéing, yogurt making, warming, and sterilizing, this versatile cooker is perfect for anyone looking to save time and space in their kitchen. One of the standout features of this Instant Pot is the lack of a non-stick coating on the inner pot. Made of 304 stainless steel, it is a food-safe material that eliminates concerns about Teflon or other potentially harmful coatings. Customers have praised the Instant Pot Duo Plus for its ability to cook certain foods to perfection. One reviewer mentioned that they use it primarily for making yogurt, ribs, and hard-boiled eggs, as the Instant Pot excels at these dishes. The reviewer explained their cooking process for ribs, which involves pressure cooking for 18-20 minutes, followed by broiling the ribs with barbecue sauce. This method produces moist, cooked ribs that are not quite "fall off the bone." This Instant Pot is available in two sizes, 6 quart and 8 quart. While the 6 quart is suitable for 2-4 people and certain dishes like cheesecakes, the 8 quart is necessary for cooking a whole chicken or larger quantities of food. Compared to the Ultra version, the Plus version of the Instant Pot is recommended for those who prefer easier operation and the convenience of handles with holes to hold the lid. The Ultra is more suited for fancy or advanced cooks. Another highlight of this Instant Pot is its ability to brown food. By using the sauté setting, customers have successfully seared meat before pressure cooking it. This results in beautifully colored and tender meat that falls apart easily. In terms of making yogurt, customers have found that there is no need to purchase additional accessories. Simply using extra large coffee filters and a large plastic colander is sufficient. This allows for a larger batch of yogurt to be made and is more cost-effective and convenient. Reviewers have had mixed experiences with the durability of the Instant Pot. One customer reported that their unit had a malfunction after only a year of use, while another mentioned difficulties in getting a brand new pot to start. These issues may be isolated incidents. Overall, the Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker receives positive feedback for its versatility and convenience. It excels in making yogurt, ribs, and hard-boiled eggs, and its ability to brown food adds an extra cooking dimension. However, there have been instances of durability issues, which is something to keep in mind before purchasing.
