How We Found the Best Multicooker<\/h2>\r\n[dam-video dam-id=\"49501\"]\r\n\r\nTo get to the bottom of that question, our Test Kitchen put the most popular multicookers through their paces in a product test<\/a>. Our pros, including pressure-cooking expert and Senior Food Stylist Shannon Norris<\/a>, experimented with each model's settings using recipes submitted by our readers<\/a>. Each model was scored according to how it performed against these criteria:\r\n\r\n \t- Pressure-cooking: <\/strong>How does the multicooker perform as a pressure cooker? Are meals like this pork chili verde<\/a> quick to make? Does the meat come out tender?<\/li>\r\n \t
- Slow-cooking: <\/strong>Can the multicooker compete with the slow cooker in your pantry? How well does it make sides like slow-cooked potatoes?<\/li>\r\n \t
- Browning and sauteing: <\/strong>Does the multicooker brown food effectively? Would it be preferable to brown proteins in a pan and then transfer to the appliance (like you would with a slow cooker)?<\/li>\r\n \t
- Ease of use:\u00a0<\/strong>How easy is the multicooker to use? Are the controls intuitive? Does the machine seal easily? Does it feel safe and easy to release the pressure valve?<\/li>\r\n \t
- Cleanup:\u00a0<\/strong>After cooking, how easy is the machine to clean? Can the insert go in the dishwasher? Is the insert nonstick?<\/li>\r\n \t
- Extra features:\u00a0<\/strong>What features does the model have that set it apart? How many settings does it have beyond pressure-cooking? Does it come with any nifty accessories? Does the appliance look nice sitting on the counter?<\/li>\r\n \t
- Price:<\/strong> Is it affordable? Is the performance reflected in the price?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nGet a behind-the-scenes look at how our Test Kitchen chooses the best products<\/a>.\r\n

Best Overall Pressure Cooker and Multicooker: Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1<\/h3>\r\n![\"Instant](\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1969\/12\/instant-pot-presure-cooker-via-amazon.com-ecomm.jpg?fit=700,700\")
<\/h3>\r\nIn the world of multicookers, you can't beat the biggest name in the game: Instant Pot. The Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is our Test Kitchen's preferred model.\r\n\r\nOur Test Kitchen's favorite pork chili came together so easily. The Instant Pot Pro's saute function<\/a> worked like a dream. The stainless steel insert helped our cooks get some great color on the pork shoulder without having to dirty an extra skillet. When it came time to use the pressure-cooker setting, our team had no issues. The pork roast was juicy and tender\u2014in about 30 minutes, no less. What a weeknight win!\r\n\r\nAs for the other settings, our Test Kitchen pros found that the Instant Pot made a tempting risotto without any fuss and homemade yogurt<\/a> was incredibly simple to make. Each setting on this countertop appliance delivered exactly as our cooks expected and recipes all came out of the crock as intended (with almost no leftovers!).\r\n\r\nIf you need another reason to love the Instant Pot Pro the way our Test Kitchen does, it's this: There's a huge Instant Pot community on the internet full of helpful tips<\/a> and recipes<\/a>. Not to mention all of the fabulous resources dedicated to the Instant Pot\u2014including this cookbook from Taste Recipes<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\nFeatures<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \t- Available in 3-, 6- and 8-quart models; our Test Kitchen tried the 6-quart version<\/li>\r\n \t
- 10 functions including pressure-cook, slow-cook, steam, rice, saute, yogurt and sous vide<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPros<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- Silicone handles make it easy to lift the insert without oven mitts<\/li>\r\n \t
- Safely and easily release pressure with a switch (not by hand)<\/li>\r\n \t
- Stainless steel insert allows you to brown proteins and veggies extremely well<\/li>\r\n \t
- There's a huge Instant Pot community; it's easy to find online groups, cookbooks and more to help you make the most of this appliance<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCons<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- The insert is not nonstick, so it takes some elbow grease to clean<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPrice: <\/strong>$170\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now on Amazon\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Instant-Pot-Pressure-Steamer-Sterilizer\/dp\/B08PQ2KWHS?tag=tohmke-20\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n
Best Multicooker for Tech Fanatics: CHEF iQ Pressure Cooker<\/h3>\r\n![\"Chef](\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1969\/12\/chef-iq-pressure-cooker-via-amazon.com-ecomm.jpg?fit=700,700\")
<\/h3>\r\nSmart appliances and gadgets<\/a> are becoming more popular\u2014especially in the kitchen. Tech-savvy cooks will appreciate the\u00a0CHEF iQ Pressure Cooker<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>for all its nifty features and performance.\r\n\r\nWhen it came to our Test Kitchen's trials, CHEF iQ's multicooker performed well while pressure-cooking (what most folks use their multicookers for), slow-cooking and making yogurt. Because of the nonstick surface of the insert, the sear wasn't as pronounced as we'd like, but there's no harm in browning meat and then adding it to the multicooker (we do it with slow-cooker recipes all the time).\r\n\r\nBut what really sets this multicooker apart is its nifty smart capabilities. After connecting the gadget to your home WiFi and downloading the app, you're ready to prepare just about anything. You can use the LCD display on the multicooker itself or control the appliance from your device.\r\n\r\nIf you're looking for new recipe ideas, are new to cooking with a multicooker or are just new to cooking in general, you'll love the CHEF iQ app; it includes hundreds of recipes and includes cook-along guides for each. There's no second-guessing here! This machine will take you through each recipe and will orchestrate every step of the cooking process.\r\n\r\nFeatures<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \t- 6-quart capacity<\/li>\r\n \t
- Smartphone app with recipes, directions and more<\/li>\r\n \t
- 300 cooking presets (available through the app), including pressure-cook, sear, steam and slow-cook<\/li>\r\n \t
- Nonstick insert, built-in scale, steamer basket, oven mitts, rice spoon, ladle and measuring cup all included<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPros<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- App puts cooking on autopilot<\/li>\r\n \t
- Comes with all the accessories you'll need to make rice, yogurt and more<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCons<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- Only functions with a smartphone; cannot be operated without that connectivity<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPrice:\u00a0<\/strong>$200\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now on Amazon\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/CHEF-Worlds-Smartest-Pressure-Cooker\/dp\/B0863JB424\/?tag=tohmke-20\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n
Best Multicooker for Big Families: Crock-Pot 8-Quart Multi-Use XL Express Crock<\/h3>\r\n![\"Crock](\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1969\/12\/crock-pot-8-quart-pressure-cooker-via-ecomm.png\")
\r\n\r\nIf you have a big family or regularly cook for a crowd, the Crock-Pot 8-Quart Multi-Use XL Express Crock<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is the multicooker for you. It was one of the largest options our Test Kitchen found with an impressive eight-quart capacity.\r\n\r\nBut just because you're cooking for a large group doesn't mean you have to sacrifice quality or ease of cooking. This Crock-Pot multicooker delivered big time in our tests. The large surface area of the insert made it possible to get a good sear on the meat for chili<\/a>, while the nonstick surface meant cleanup was super simple.\r\n\r\nAs for slow-cooking, you know that Crock-Pot aced that test. Our slow-cooked potatoes<\/a> came out tender but not mushy. As for the other settings, the Express Crock did well with pressure-cooking and making rice, too. This gadget handled every test our team threw its way\u2014all with intuitive controls and easy-to-clean parts.\r\n\r\nOutside of cooking, our Test Kitchen enjoyed some of the bonus features on this multicooker. The pressure-release valve is operated with a switch\u2014not a knob\u2014so your hands stay out of harm's way. Psst! See more Amazon kitchen gadgets<\/a> we can't get enough of.\r\n\r\nFeatures<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \t- 8-quart capacity<\/li>\r\n \t
- One-touch presets including slow-cook, pressure-cook, simmer, boil, saute\/brown, yogurt, stew, dessert and more<\/li>\r\n \t
- Includes nonstick insert, rice spoon and rack<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPros<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- Large size is great for families<\/li>\r\n \t
- Intuitive to use<\/li>\r\n \t
- Switch releases pressure safely (as compared to configuring a knob with an oven mitt)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCons<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- Isn't a great replacement for a rice cooker; this function left something to be desired (so learn how to cook rice<\/a> the old-fashioned way)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPrice:\u00a0<\/strong>$150\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now on Walmart\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FCrock-Pot-8-Quart-Multi-Use-XL-Programmable-Slow-Cooker-Pressure-Cooker%2F946614627&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FCrock-Pot-8-Quart-Multi-Use-XL-Programmable-Slow-Cooker-Pressure-Cooker%2F946614627\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n
What to Make with a Multicooker<\/h2>\r\n![](\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Pressure-Cooker-Potato-Soup_EXPS_CWDJ17_207669_C08_19_5b.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nWith settings for rice, meat, beans, soup<\/a>, yogurt and more, there are few things you can't\u00a0<\/em>make in a multicooker. Our Test Kitchen recommends starting off with these pressure-cooker recipes<\/a>. This will help you get used to all of your machine's different settings and show off its versatility.\r\n\r\nBut don't forget to use your multicooker to make hard-boiled eggs<\/a>, rice<\/a> and even dessert. With so many functions, these gadgets can really help you make just about anything.\r\nHow to Take Care of Your Multicooker<\/h2>\r\n[dam-video dam-id=\"30099\"]\r\n\r\nAs Instant Pot pro Shannon puts it: \"The more you use the Instant Pot, the more uses you find for it.\"\r\n\r\nWith your multicooker in regular rotation, it's important to give it regular upkeep and clean your pressure cooker<\/a> often. Make sure that you're cleaning the lid and insert according to the manual's directions. For a deep clean, add a splash of vinegar<\/a> and lemon juice<\/a> to the insert and hit the steam setting. This is a great natural way to cut grime.\r\n\r\nShannon also recommends washing the rubber gasket regularly\u2014especially after making spicy or garlicky foods. You don't want any strong flavors influencing your next recipe. Most electric pressure-cooker brands sell spare gaskets for just a few bucks, so it's worth purchasing an extra one.\r\nFAQ<\/h2>\r\nWhat is a good brand for a pressure cooker?<\/h3>\r\nOne of the best pressure cooker brands on the market is Instant Pot<\/a>. This brand is well-established in the kitchenware market and their products are ideal for both beginners and seasoned cooks.\r\nWhat is the difference between a pressure cooker and an Instant Pot?<\/h3>\r\nWhile a pressure cooker has a highly intense heating element on the bottom and quickly heats the pot evenly throughout, an Instant Pot distributes heat from the bottom and allows it to rise, causing it to heat and cook food more slowly.\r\nWhich type of pressure cooker is best for cooking?<\/h3>\r\nTypically, a stainless steel pressure cooker is the best choice for cooking since this material does not react and leach metals into food. This is especially helpful when cooking salty, savory dishes or acidic recipes.\r\nIs it better to pressure cook or slow cook meat?<\/h3>\r\nWhile both of these methods can cook meat successfully, it is better to pressure cook meats. As opposed to slow cookers, pressure cookers prevent turkey, steak and chicken from becoming dry during the cooking process. However, slow cooking can make meat more tender, which is great for finer cuts.\r\nCheck Out More Test Kitchen-Preferred Gear<\/h2>\r\n[embed_section]\r\n\r\n[embed-content

Our Test Kitchen-Preferred Multicookers<\/h2>\r\nAfter trying out multiple electric pressure cookers\/multicookers, our Test Kitchen found a clear winner and a few other favorites.\r\n\r\n \t- Best Overall Pressure Cooker and Multicooker:\u00a0<\/strong>Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t
- Best Multicooker for Tech Fanatics: <\/strong>CHEF iQ Pressure Cooker<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t
- Best Multicooker for Big Families:\u00a0<\/strong>Crock-Pot 8-Quart Multi-Use XL Express Crock<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nRead on to see the details and results of our in-depth tests.\r\n
Best Overall Pressure Cooker and Multicooker: Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1<\/h3>\r\n<\/h3>\r\nIn the world of multicookers, you can't beat the biggest name in the game: Instant Pot. The Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is our Test Kitchen's preferred model.\r\n\r\nOur Test Kitchen's favorite pork chili came together so easily. The Instant Pot Pro's saute function<\/a> worked like a dream. The stainless steel insert helped our cooks get some great color on the pork shoulder without having to dirty an extra skillet. When it came time to use the pressure-cooker setting, our team had no issues. The pork roast was juicy and tender\u2014in about 30 minutes, no less. What a weeknight win!\r\n\r\nAs for the other settings, our Test Kitchen pros found that the Instant Pot made a tempting risotto without any fuss and homemade yogurt<\/a> was incredibly simple to make. Each setting on this countertop appliance delivered exactly as our cooks expected and recipes all came out of the crock as intended (with almost no leftovers!).\r\n\r\nIf you need another reason to love the Instant Pot Pro the way our Test Kitchen does, it's this: There's a huge Instant Pot community on the internet full of helpful tips<\/a> and recipes<\/a>. Not to mention all of the fabulous resources dedicated to the Instant Pot\u2014including this cookbook from Taste Recipes<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\nFeatures<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \t- Available in 3-, 6- and 8-quart models; our Test Kitchen tried the 6-quart version<\/li>\r\n \t
- 10 functions including pressure-cook, slow-cook, steam, rice, saute, yogurt and sous vide<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPros<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- Silicone handles make it easy to lift the insert without oven mitts<\/li>\r\n \t
- Safely and easily release pressure with a switch (not by hand)<\/li>\r\n \t
- Stainless steel insert allows you to brown proteins and veggies extremely well<\/li>\r\n \t
- There's a huge Instant Pot community; it's easy to find online groups, cookbooks and more to help you make the most of this appliance<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCons<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- The insert is not nonstick, so it takes some elbow grease to clean<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPrice: <\/strong>$170\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now on Amazon\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Instant-Pot-Pressure-Steamer-Sterilizer\/dp\/B08PQ2KWHS?tag=tohmke-20\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n
Best Multicooker for Tech Fanatics: CHEF iQ Pressure Cooker<\/h3>\r\n<\/h3>\r\nSmart appliances and gadgets<\/a> are becoming more popular\u2014especially in the kitchen. Tech-savvy cooks will appreciate the\u00a0CHEF iQ Pressure Cooker<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>for all its nifty features and performance.\r\n\r\nWhen it came to our Test Kitchen's trials, CHEF iQ's multicooker performed well while pressure-cooking (what most folks use their multicookers for), slow-cooking and making yogurt. Because of the nonstick surface of the insert, the sear wasn't as pronounced as we'd like, but there's no harm in browning meat and then adding it to the multicooker (we do it with slow-cooker recipes all the time).\r\n\r\nBut what really sets this multicooker apart is its nifty smart capabilities. After connecting the gadget to your home WiFi and downloading the app, you're ready to prepare just about anything. You can use the LCD display on the multicooker itself or control the appliance from your device.\r\n\r\nIf you're looking for new recipe ideas, are new to cooking with a multicooker or are just new to cooking in general, you'll love the CHEF iQ app; it includes hundreds of recipes and includes cook-along guides for each. There's no second-guessing here! This machine will take you through each recipe and will orchestrate every step of the cooking process.\r\n\r\nFeatures<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \t- 6-quart capacity<\/li>\r\n \t
- Smartphone app with recipes, directions and more<\/li>\r\n \t
- 300 cooking presets (available through the app), including pressure-cook, sear, steam and slow-cook<\/li>\r\n \t
- Nonstick insert, built-in scale, steamer basket, oven mitts, rice spoon, ladle and measuring cup all included<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPros<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- App puts cooking on autopilot<\/li>\r\n \t
- Comes with all the accessories you'll need to make rice, yogurt and more<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCons<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- Only functions with a smartphone; cannot be operated without that connectivity<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPrice:\u00a0<\/strong>$200\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now on Amazon\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/CHEF-Worlds-Smartest-Pressure-Cooker\/dp\/B0863JB424\/?tag=tohmke-20\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n
Best Multicooker for Big Families: Crock-Pot 8-Quart Multi-Use XL Express Crock<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you have a big family or regularly cook for a crowd, the Crock-Pot 8-Quart Multi-Use XL Express Crock<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is the multicooker for you. It was one of the largest options our Test Kitchen found with an impressive eight-quart capacity.\r\n\r\nBut just because you're cooking for a large group doesn't mean you have to sacrifice quality or ease of cooking. This Crock-Pot multicooker delivered big time in our tests. The large surface area of the insert made it possible to get a good sear on the meat for chili<\/a>, while the nonstick surface meant cleanup was super simple.\r\n\r\nAs for slow-cooking, you know that Crock-Pot aced that test. Our slow-cooked potatoes<\/a> came out tender but not mushy. As for the other settings, the Express Crock did well with pressure-cooking and making rice, too. This gadget handled every test our team threw its way\u2014all with intuitive controls and easy-to-clean parts.\r\n\r\nOutside of cooking, our Test Kitchen enjoyed some of the bonus features on this multicooker. The pressure-release valve is operated with a switch\u2014not a knob\u2014so your hands stay out of harm's way. Psst! See more Amazon kitchen gadgets<\/a> we can't get enough of.\r\n\r\nFeatures<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \t- 8-quart capacity<\/li>\r\n \t
- One-touch presets including slow-cook, pressure-cook, simmer, boil, saute\/brown, yogurt, stew, dessert and more<\/li>\r\n \t
- Includes nonstick insert, rice spoon and rack<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPros<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- Large size is great for families<\/li>\r\n \t
- Intuitive to use<\/li>\r\n \t
- Switch releases pressure safely (as compared to configuring a knob with an oven mitt)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCons<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- Isn't a great replacement for a rice cooker; this function left something to be desired (so learn how to cook rice<\/a> the old-fashioned way)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPrice:\u00a0<\/strong>$150\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now on Walmart\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FCrock-Pot-8-Quart-Multi-Use-XL-Programmable-Slow-Cooker-Pressure-Cooker%2F946614627&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FCrock-Pot-8-Quart-Multi-Use-XL-Programmable-Slow-Cooker-Pressure-Cooker%2F946614627\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n
What to Make with a Multicooker<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nWith settings for rice, meat, beans, soup<\/a>, yogurt and more, there are few things you can't\u00a0<\/em>make in a multicooker. Our Test Kitchen recommends starting off with these pressure-cooker recipes<\/a>. This will help you get used to all of your machine's different settings and show off its versatility.\r\n\r\nBut don't forget to use your multicooker to make hard-boiled eggs<\/a>, rice<\/a> and even dessert. With so many functions, these gadgets can really help you make just about anything.\r\nHow to Take Care of Your Multicooker<\/h2>\r\n[dam-video dam-id=\"30099\"]\r\n\r\nAs Instant Pot pro Shannon puts it: \"The more you use the Instant Pot, the more uses you find for it.\"\r\n\r\nWith your multicooker in regular rotation, it's important to give it regular upkeep and clean your pressure cooker<\/a> often. Make sure that you're cleaning the lid and insert according to the manual's directions. For a deep clean, add a splash of vinegar<\/a> and lemon juice<\/a> to the insert and hit the steam setting. This is a great natural way to cut grime.\r\n\r\nShannon also recommends washing the rubber gasket regularly\u2014especially after making spicy or garlicky foods. You don't want any strong flavors influencing your next recipe. Most electric pressure-cooker brands sell spare gaskets for just a few bucks, so it's worth purchasing an extra one.\r\nFAQ<\/h2>\r\nWhat is a good brand for a pressure cooker?<\/h3>\r\nOne of the best pressure cooker brands on the market is Instant Pot<\/a>. This brand is well-established in the kitchenware market and their products are ideal for both beginners and seasoned cooks.\r\nWhat is the difference between a pressure cooker and an Instant Pot?<\/h3>\r\nWhile a pressure cooker has a highly intense heating element on the bottom and quickly heats the pot evenly throughout, an Instant Pot distributes heat from the bottom and allows it to rise, causing it to heat and cook food more slowly.\r\nWhich type of pressure cooker is best for cooking?<\/h3>\r\nTypically, a stainless steel pressure cooker is the best choice for cooking since this material does not react and leach metals into food. This is especially helpful when cooking salty, savory dishes or acidic recipes.\r\nIs it better to pressure cook or slow cook meat?<\/h3>\r\nWhile both of these methods can cook meat successfully, it is better to pressure cook meats. As opposed to slow cookers, pressure cookers prevent turkey, steak and chicken from becoming dry during the cooking process. However, slow cooking can make meat more tender, which is great for finer cuts.\r\nCheck Out More Test Kitchen-Preferred Gear<\/h2>\r\n[embed_section]\r\n\r\n[embed-content

Best Overall Pressure Cooker and Multicooker: Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1<\/h3>\r\n<\/h3>\r\nIn the world of multicookers, you can't beat the biggest name in the game: Instant Pot. The Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is our Test Kitchen's preferred model.\r\n\r\nOur Test Kitchen's favorite pork chili came together so easily. The Instant Pot Pro's saute function<\/a> worked like a dream. The stainless steel insert helped our cooks get some great color on the pork shoulder without having to dirty an extra skillet. When it came time to use the pressure-cooker setting, our team had no issues. The pork roast was juicy and tender\u2014in about 30 minutes, no less. What a weeknight win!\r\n\r\nAs for the other settings, our Test Kitchen pros found that the Instant Pot made a tempting risotto without any fuss and homemade yogurt<\/a> was incredibly simple to make. Each setting on this countertop appliance delivered exactly as our cooks expected and recipes all came out of the crock as intended (with almost no leftovers!).\r\n\r\nIf you need another reason to love the Instant Pot Pro the way our Test Kitchen does, it's this: There's a huge Instant Pot community on the internet full of helpful tips<\/a> and recipes<\/a>. Not to mention all of the fabulous resources dedicated to the Instant Pot\u2014including this cookbook from Taste Recipes<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\nFeatures<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \t- Available in 3-, 6- and 8-quart models; our Test Kitchen tried the 6-quart version<\/li>\r\n \t
- 10 functions including pressure-cook, slow-cook, steam, rice, saute, yogurt and sous vide<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPros<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- Silicone handles make it easy to lift the insert without oven mitts<\/li>\r\n \t
- Safely and easily release pressure with a switch (not by hand)<\/li>\r\n \t
- Stainless steel insert allows you to brown proteins and veggies extremely well<\/li>\r\n \t
- There's a huge Instant Pot community; it's easy to find online groups, cookbooks and more to help you make the most of this appliance<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCons<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- The insert is not nonstick, so it takes some elbow grease to clean<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPrice: <\/strong>$170\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now on Amazon\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Instant-Pot-Pressure-Steamer-Sterilizer\/dp\/B08PQ2KWHS?tag=tohmke-20\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n
Best Multicooker for Tech Fanatics: CHEF iQ Pressure Cooker<\/h3>\r\n<\/h3>\r\nSmart appliances and gadgets<\/a> are becoming more popular\u2014especially in the kitchen. Tech-savvy cooks will appreciate the\u00a0CHEF iQ Pressure Cooker<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>for all its nifty features and performance.\r\n\r\nWhen it came to our Test Kitchen's trials, CHEF iQ's multicooker performed well while pressure-cooking (what most folks use their multicookers for), slow-cooking and making yogurt. Because of the nonstick surface of the insert, the sear wasn't as pronounced as we'd like, but there's no harm in browning meat and then adding it to the multicooker (we do it with slow-cooker recipes all the time).\r\n\r\nBut what really sets this multicooker apart is its nifty smart capabilities. After connecting the gadget to your home WiFi and downloading the app, you're ready to prepare just about anything. You can use the LCD display on the multicooker itself or control the appliance from your device.\r\n\r\nIf you're looking for new recipe ideas, are new to cooking with a multicooker or are just new to cooking in general, you'll love the CHEF iQ app; it includes hundreds of recipes and includes cook-along guides for each. There's no second-guessing here! This machine will take you through each recipe and will orchestrate every step of the cooking process.\r\n\r\nFeatures<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \t- 6-quart capacity<\/li>\r\n \t
- Smartphone app with recipes, directions and more<\/li>\r\n \t
- 300 cooking presets (available through the app), including pressure-cook, sear, steam and slow-cook<\/li>\r\n \t
- Nonstick insert, built-in scale, steamer basket, oven mitts, rice spoon, ladle and measuring cup all included<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPros<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- App puts cooking on autopilot<\/li>\r\n \t
- Comes with all the accessories you'll need to make rice, yogurt and more<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCons<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- Only functions with a smartphone; cannot be operated without that connectivity<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPrice:\u00a0<\/strong>$200\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now on Amazon\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/CHEF-Worlds-Smartest-Pressure-Cooker\/dp\/B0863JB424\/?tag=tohmke-20\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n
Best Multicooker for Big Families: Crock-Pot 8-Quart Multi-Use XL Express Crock<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you have a big family or regularly cook for a crowd, the Crock-Pot 8-Quart Multi-Use XL Express Crock<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is the multicooker for you. It was one of the largest options our Test Kitchen found with an impressive eight-quart capacity.\r\n\r\nBut just because you're cooking for a large group doesn't mean you have to sacrifice quality or ease of cooking. This Crock-Pot multicooker delivered big time in our tests. The large surface area of the insert made it possible to get a good sear on the meat for chili<\/a>, while the nonstick surface meant cleanup was super simple.\r\n\r\nAs for slow-cooking, you know that Crock-Pot aced that test. Our slow-cooked potatoes<\/a> came out tender but not mushy. As for the other settings, the Express Crock did well with pressure-cooking and making rice, too. This gadget handled every test our team threw its way\u2014all with intuitive controls and easy-to-clean parts.\r\n\r\nOutside of cooking, our Test Kitchen enjoyed some of the bonus features on this multicooker. The pressure-release valve is operated with a switch\u2014not a knob\u2014so your hands stay out of harm's way. Psst! See more Amazon kitchen gadgets<\/a> we can't get enough of.\r\n\r\nFeatures<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \t- 8-quart capacity<\/li>\r\n \t
- One-touch presets including slow-cook, pressure-cook, simmer, boil, saute\/brown, yogurt, stew, dessert and more<\/li>\r\n \t
- Includes nonstick insert, rice spoon and rack<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPros<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- Large size is great for families<\/li>\r\n \t
- Intuitive to use<\/li>\r\n \t
- Switch releases pressure safely (as compared to configuring a knob with an oven mitt)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCons<\/strong>\r\n
\r\n \t- Isn't a great replacement for a rice cooker; this function left something to be desired (so learn how to cook rice<\/a> the old-fashioned way)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPrice:\u00a0<\/strong>$150\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now on Walmart\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FCrock-Pot-8-Quart-Multi-Use-XL-Programmable-Slow-Cooker-Pressure-Cooker%2F946614627&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FCrock-Pot-8-Quart-Multi-Use-XL-Programmable-Slow-Cooker-Pressure-Cooker%2F946614627\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n
What to Make with a Multicooker<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nWith settings for rice, meat, beans, soup<\/a>, yogurt and more, there are few things you can't\u00a0<\/em>make in a multicooker. Our Test Kitchen recommends starting off with these pressure-cooker recipes<\/a>. This will help you get used to all of your machine's different settings and show off its versatility.\r\n\r\nBut don't forget to use your multicooker to make hard-boiled eggs<\/a>, rice<\/a> and even dessert. With so many functions, these gadgets can really help you make just about anything.\r\nHow to Take Care of Your Multicooker<\/h2>\r\n[dam-video dam-id=\"30099\"]\r\n\r\nAs Instant Pot pro Shannon puts it: \"The more you use the Instant Pot, the more uses you find for it.\"\r\n\r\nWith your multicooker in regular rotation, it's important to give it regular upkeep and clean your pressure cooker<\/a> often. Make sure that you're cleaning the lid and insert according to the manual's directions. For a deep clean, add a splash of vinegar<\/a> and lemon juice<\/a> to the insert and hit the steam setting. This is a great natural way to cut grime.\r\n\r\nShannon also recommends washing the rubber gasket regularly\u2014especially after making spicy or garlicky foods. You don't want any strong flavors influencing your next recipe. Most electric pressure-cooker brands sell spare gaskets for just a few bucks, so it's worth purchasing an extra one.\r\nFAQ<\/h2>\r\nWhat is a good brand for a pressure cooker?<\/h3>\r\nOne of the best pressure cooker brands on the market is Instant Pot<\/a>. This brand is well-established in the kitchenware market and their products are ideal for both beginners and seasoned cooks.\r\nWhat is the difference between a pressure cooker and an Instant Pot?<\/h3>\r\nWhile a pressure cooker has a highly intense heating element on the bottom and quickly heats the pot evenly throughout, an Instant Pot distributes heat from the bottom and allows it to rise, causing it to heat and cook food more slowly.\r\nWhich type of pressure cooker is best for cooking?<\/h3>\r\nTypically, a stainless steel pressure cooker is the best choice for cooking since this material does not react and leach metals into food. This is especially helpful when cooking salty, savory dishes or acidic recipes.\r\nIs it better to pressure cook or slow cook meat?<\/h3>\r\nWhile both of these methods can cook meat successfully, it is better to pressure cook meats. As opposed to slow cookers, pressure cookers prevent turkey, steak and chicken from becoming dry during the cooking process. However, slow cooking can make meat more tender, which is great for finer cuts.\r\nCheck Out More Test Kitchen-Preferred Gear<\/h2>\r\n[embed_section]\r\n\r\n[embed-content

<\/h3>\r\nIn the world of multicookers, you can't beat the biggest name in the game: Instant Pot. The Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is our Test Kitchen's preferred model.\r\n\r\nOur Test Kitchen's favorite pork chili came together so easily. The Instant Pot Pro's saute function<\/a> worked like a dream. The stainless steel insert helped our cooks get some great color on the pork shoulder without having to dirty an extra skillet. When it came time to use the pressure-cooker setting, our team had no issues. The pork roast was juicy and tender\u2014in about 30 minutes, no less. What a weeknight win!\r\n\r\nAs for the other settings, our Test Kitchen pros found that the Instant Pot made a tempting risotto without any fuss and homemade yogurt<\/a> was incredibly simple to make. Each setting on this countertop appliance delivered exactly as our cooks expected and recipes all came out of the crock as intended (with almost no leftovers!).\r\n\r\nIf you need another reason to love the Instant Pot Pro the way our Test Kitchen does, it's this: There's a huge Instant Pot community on the internet full of helpful tips<\/a> and recipes<\/a>. Not to mention all of the fabulous resources dedicated to the Instant Pot\u2014including this cookbook from Taste Recipes<\/em><\/a>!\r\n\r\nFeatures<\/strong>\r\n- \r\n \t
- Available in 3-, 6- and 8-quart models; our Test Kitchen tried the 6-quart version<\/li>\r\n \t
- 10 functions including pressure-cook, slow-cook, steam, rice, saute, yogurt and sous vide<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPros<\/strong>\r\n
- \r\n \t
- Silicone handles make it easy to lift the insert without oven mitts<\/li>\r\n \t
- Safely and easily release pressure with a switch (not by hand)<\/li>\r\n \t
- Stainless steel insert allows you to brown proteins and veggies extremely well<\/li>\r\n \t
- There's a huge Instant Pot community; it's easy to find online groups, cookbooks and more to help you make the most of this appliance<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCons<\/strong>\r\n
- \r\n \t
- The insert is not nonstick, so it takes some elbow grease to clean<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPrice: <\/strong>$170\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now on Amazon\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Instant-Pot-Pressure-Steamer-Sterilizer\/dp\/B08PQ2KWHS?tag=tohmke-20\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n
Best Multicooker for Tech Fanatics: CHEF iQ Pressure Cooker<\/h3>\r\n
<\/h3>\r\nSmart appliances and gadgets<\/a> are becoming more popular\u2014especially in the kitchen. Tech-savvy cooks will appreciate the\u00a0CHEF iQ Pressure Cooker<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>for all its nifty features and performance.\r\n\r\nWhen it came to our Test Kitchen's trials, CHEF iQ's multicooker performed well while pressure-cooking (what most folks use their multicookers for), slow-cooking and making yogurt. Because of the nonstick surface of the insert, the sear wasn't as pronounced as we'd like, but there's no harm in browning meat and then adding it to the multicooker (we do it with slow-cooker recipes all the time).\r\n\r\nBut what really sets this multicooker apart is its nifty smart capabilities. After connecting the gadget to your home WiFi and downloading the app, you're ready to prepare just about anything. You can use the LCD display on the multicooker itself or control the appliance from your device.\r\n\r\nIf you're looking for new recipe ideas, are new to cooking with a multicooker or are just new to cooking in general, you'll love the CHEF iQ app; it includes hundreds of recipes and includes cook-along guides for each. There's no second-guessing here! This machine will take you through each recipe and will orchestrate every step of the cooking process.\r\n\r\nFeatures<\/strong>\r\n- \r\n \t
- 6-quart capacity<\/li>\r\n \t
- Smartphone app with recipes, directions and more<\/li>\r\n \t
- 300 cooking presets (available through the app), including pressure-cook, sear, steam and slow-cook<\/li>\r\n \t
- Nonstick insert, built-in scale, steamer basket, oven mitts, rice spoon, ladle and measuring cup all included<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPros<\/strong>\r\n
- \r\n \t
- App puts cooking on autopilot<\/li>\r\n \t
- Comes with all the accessories you'll need to make rice, yogurt and more<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCons<\/strong>\r\n
- \r\n \t
- Only functions with a smartphone; cannot be operated without that connectivity<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPrice:\u00a0<\/strong>$200\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now on Amazon\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/CHEF-Worlds-Smartest-Pressure-Cooker\/dp\/B0863JB424\/?tag=tohmke-20\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n
Best Multicooker for Big Families: Crock-Pot 8-Quart Multi-Use XL Express Crock<\/h3>\r\n
\r\n\r\nIf you have a big family or regularly cook for a crowd, the Crock-Pot 8-Quart Multi-Use XL Express Crock<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is the multicooker for you. It was one of the largest options our Test Kitchen found with an impressive eight-quart capacity.\r\n\r\nBut just because you're cooking for a large group doesn't mean you have to sacrifice quality or ease of cooking. This Crock-Pot multicooker delivered big time in our tests. The large surface area of the insert made it possible to get a good sear on the meat for chili<\/a>, while the nonstick surface meant cleanup was super simple.\r\n\r\nAs for slow-cooking, you know that Crock-Pot aced that test. Our slow-cooked potatoes<\/a> came out tender but not mushy. As for the other settings, the Express Crock did well with pressure-cooking and making rice, too. This gadget handled every test our team threw its way\u2014all with intuitive controls and easy-to-clean parts.\r\n\r\nOutside of cooking, our Test Kitchen enjoyed some of the bonus features on this multicooker. The pressure-release valve is operated with a switch\u2014not a knob\u2014so your hands stay out of harm's way. Psst! See more Amazon kitchen gadgets<\/a> we can't get enough of.\r\n\r\nFeatures<\/strong>\r\n- \r\n \t
- 8-quart capacity<\/li>\r\n \t
- One-touch presets including slow-cook, pressure-cook, simmer, boil, saute\/brown, yogurt, stew, dessert and more<\/li>\r\n \t
- Includes nonstick insert, rice spoon and rack<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPros<\/strong>\r\n
- \r\n \t
- Large size is great for families<\/li>\r\n \t
- Intuitive to use<\/li>\r\n \t
- Switch releases pressure safely (as compared to configuring a knob with an oven mitt)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCons<\/strong>\r\n
- \r\n \t
- Isn't a great replacement for a rice cooker; this function left something to be desired (so learn how to cook rice<\/a> the old-fashioned way)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPrice:\u00a0<\/strong>$150\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now on Walmart\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FCrock-Pot-8-Quart-Multi-Use-XL-Programmable-Slow-Cooker-Pressure-Cooker%2F946614627&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FCrock-Pot-8-Quart-Multi-Use-XL-Programmable-Slow-Cooker-Pressure-Cooker%2F946614627\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n
What to Make with a Multicooker<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n\r\nWith settings for rice, meat, beans, soup<\/a>, yogurt and more, there are few things you can't\u00a0<\/em>make in a multicooker. Our Test Kitchen recommends starting off with these pressure-cooker recipes<\/a>. This will help you get used to all of your machine's different settings and show off its versatility.\r\n\r\nBut don't forget to use your multicooker to make hard-boiled eggs<\/a>, rice<\/a> and even dessert. With so many functions, these gadgets can really help you make just about anything.\r\nHow to Take Care of Your Multicooker<\/h2>\r\n[dam-video dam-id=\"30099\"]\r\n\r\nAs Instant Pot pro Shannon puts it: \"The more you use the Instant Pot, the more uses you find for it.\"\r\n\r\nWith your multicooker in regular rotation, it's important to give it regular upkeep and clean your pressure cooker<\/a> often. Make sure that you're cleaning the lid and insert according to the manual's directions. For a deep clean, add a splash of vinegar<\/a> and lemon juice<\/a> to the insert and hit the steam setting. This is a great natural way to cut grime.\r\n\r\nShannon also recommends washing the rubber gasket regularly\u2014especially after making spicy or garlicky foods. You don't want any strong flavors influencing your next recipe. Most electric pressure-cooker brands sell spare gaskets for just a few bucks, so it's worth purchasing an extra one.\r\n
FAQ<\/h2>\r\n
What is a good brand for a pressure cooker?<\/h3>\r\nOne of the best pressure cooker brands on the market is Instant Pot<\/a>. This brand is well-established in the kitchenware market and their products are ideal for both beginners and seasoned cooks.\r\n
What is the difference between a pressure cooker and an Instant Pot?<\/h3>\r\nWhile a pressure cooker has a highly intense heating element on the bottom and quickly heats the pot evenly throughout, an Instant Pot distributes heat from the bottom and allows it to rise, causing it to heat and cook food more slowly.\r\n
Which type of pressure cooker is best for cooking?<\/h3>\r\nTypically, a stainless steel pressure cooker is the best choice for cooking since this material does not react and leach metals into food. This is especially helpful when cooking salty, savory dishes or acidic recipes.\r\n
Is it better to pressure cook or slow cook meat?<\/h3>\r\nWhile both of these methods can cook meat successfully, it is better to pressure cook meats. As opposed to slow cookers, pressure cookers prevent turkey, steak and chicken from becoming dry during the cooking process. However, slow cooking can make meat more tender, which is great for finer cuts.\r\n
