Insignia 6-Quart Multi-Function Pressure Cooker vs Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 6qt Pressure Cooker

Buy the Instant Pot Duo 60 if you want the most proven electric pressure cooker and plan to pressure cook often. Its stainless steel tri-ply pot, 13 programs and long safety record are why owners and reviewers trust it. The Insignia is a simpler 6-quart cooker with a nonstick pot and a 24-hour timer; it works for basic pressure cooking and rice, but it has fewer programs and a shorter track record. Both are 1000W and 6 quarts, so capacity and speed are close.

• Choose the Insignia if you want a nonstick inner pot that wipes clean easily and a simple set of presets for basic pressure cooking, rice and keep-warm.
• Choose the Instant Pot Duo 60 if you want a stainless steel pot that won't scratch, more cooking programs, and the model most recipes and owners are written around.
