There are many electric pressure cookers on the market, most are OK  like our best budget buy, the  Bella 12 in 1, which is at about half the price of an instant pot duo.

But if you want an exceptional electric pressure cooker to use day in day out, year after year then there is really only one choice.

Designed  a group  of  Canadian Techno mage foodaholics to be the ultimate cooking machine.Tried, tested and proven by over a million happy customers,  Instant Pot is Americas best seller and is equally popular in the UK.

Maybe because it  in  stands head and shoulders above the rest. Yes there is better, The Instant pot Ultra 10 in one, but we found it  too over-engineered, more suited to Heston Blumenthal’s experimental kitchen laboratory  than the average Brits kitchen  (you can overdo a good thing).

Take a look inside: The  pot is made from  dishwasher safe 304 stainless steel, so no issues with peeling non stick coatings. In fact the whole of the inner surface, including the lid lining, is stainless steel.

The pot has an impact bonded base so is safe to use on the hob for searing and browning meat, you can even use it in the oven!

 This appliance has so many functions it’s difficult to know where to start, it’s advertised as a ‘7-in-1 Multi-Functional Cooker,:

1. Pressure Cooker
2. Slow Cooker
3. Rice Cooker
4. Saute/Browning chamber
   
5. Yogurt Maker
6. Steamer (pressure or non pressure)
   
7. Warmer

But does so much more: It’s an automatic pressure cooker that can cook at High and Low pressure, it has 14 built in smart programs. Just add the ingredients, press a button and walk away. It is so quiet you will wonder if anything is happening

Late home, no worries when the Instant Pot  has finished cooking it automatically switches to keep warm for up to 10 hours

On board is a 24 hour timer and an embedded microprocessor, which monitors the pressure and temperature, keeps time and adjusts heating intensity. Did I mention it has 10 different safety mechanisisms and can also makes porridge, steams puddings, pot roasts  and proves dough?

Comes with:- Stainless steel long handled steam rack, rice paddle, soup spoon, measuring cup, instruction manual, recipe booklet with 29 recipes to get you started, cooking time tables and a quick start guide. Loads of accessories available to make it even more versatile.
