The 5 best pressure cookers of 2022

Capacity: 6 quarts | Power: 1,000W | Dimensions: 13.4 x 12.2 x 12.5 inches | 

Features: Stainless-steel (18/8) inner pot with a tri-ply bottom, pressure cooker, slow cooker, sauté pan, rice cooker, yogurt maker, steamer, food warmer, sous vide and sterilizer.

Instant Pot’s Duo electric pressure cooker may be the most popular and user-friendly model available. It’s easy to operate with digital push buttons and a handled lid that twists on and makes a chiming sound that lets you know it’s attached properly. Although we selected the six-quart size, it’s also available in a mini three-quart and a large eight-quart version. 

It does much more than stew foods — you can use it for canning, making yogurt, steaming rice, baking a cake, and more. Best of all, it’s simple to operate. Besides the nine functions, 15 customizable smart programs handle all the guesswork for you: pressure cook, sauté, grain, porridge, oatmeal, soup, broth, slow cook, cake, egg, rice, bean, sterilize, yogurt, and sous vide. Download the instant pot app for access to hundreds of recipes for ideas. 

Pros:

• Easy to operate
• Digital display
• Retails for under $100

Cons:

• It doesn’t include any accessories
• The stainless shell is thin and dents easily
