Instant Pot 6qt 3-in-1 Multi-Cooker vs Insignia 6-Quart Multi-Function Pressure Cooker

Buy the Instant Pot Easy 3-in-1 if you want to sauté in the same pot before pressure cooking and you value the brand's long safety record and huge recipe base. Buy the Insignia if you mainly pressure cook and want a delay timer, keep-warm and a dishwasher-safe pot. The Instant Pot has the sturdier reputation and simpler dial controls; the Insignia packs more presets and scheduling for set-and-forget cooking. Owners of both report the nonstick pots wear over time, so treat the coating as a consumable.

• Choose the Instant Pot Easy 3-in-1 if you want one pot that sautés, slow cooks and pressure cooks, with a glass lid for serving at the table.
• Choose the Insignia 6-Quart if you want a 24-hour delay timer, automatic keep-warm and a dishwasher-safe pot for hands-off weeknight meals.
