Best 3-quart electric pressure cookers

Top pick: Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Mini (3 qt). It's the small version of the cooker most people already know: the 7-in-1 set covers pressure cooking, slow cooking, rice, steaming, sauté, yogurt and warming, and the brand's recipes and replacement parts are easy to find. If you want one pot that just works and you'll cook for one to three people, start here.

Who the others suit:

• NEWBULIG 10-in-1 3 qt — more programs for the money if you want extras like sterilizing or cake.
• 3-Quart 7-in-1 (stainless) — stainless inner pot if you'd rather avoid non-stick coatings.
• Electric Pressure Cooker 3QT (700 W) — the one with the most owner ratings here, so the safest bet if reviews matter to you.
• Bestcore at Lowe's — buy in person if you'd rather see it before paying.

All are 3-quart electric models; check the inner pot material and program count against how you cook.
