What reviewers say

Megachef 12 Quart Pressure Cooker

With a 4.3 out of 5 average from 76 ratings, owners generally report the MegaChef does its main job: big batches of chili, stews and roasts in far less time than a stove or slow cooker. Complaints cluster around its footprint and cleanup of the non-stick pot.

Pros
  • Large capacity handles family-size and freezer batches
  • Presets are easy to set and forget
  • Slow-cook mode is useful for chilies and roasts
  • Cuts cooking time noticeably versus stovetop methods
Cons
  • Bulky and heavy to store and move
  • Non-stick pot needs hand washing
  • Build feels lighter than premium brands
  • Confusing or inconsistent spec and wattage information

MegaChef 12 Quart Steel Digital Pressure Cooker with 15 Presets and Glass Lid

Ratings are mixed at 3.8 out of 5 from 20 ratings. Owners tend to like the size and the slow-cook mode, while complaints center on build quality and the low heating power.

Pros
  • Big capacity for family meals
  • Easy preset controls
  • Glass lid is handy for checking progress
Cons
  • Does not get hot enough for true pressure cooking
  • Feels less sturdy than expected
  • Hand-wash-only pot is inconvenient

Questions and answers

Are these two the same pressure cooker?
They look like the same MegaChef 12-quart model: same 15 presets, glass lid, 18.7 lbs and 17 x 15 x 17 inch body. The difference is the listing, the price and the rating.
Which is better for a large family?
Both claim 12 quarts, enough for big batches of chili or a whole roast. Confirm the capacity on the cheaper listing, because its spec sheet says 6 quarts.
Is the more expensive one worth the extra?
Only if you value its 4.3 rating over 3.8. At $109.99 versus $75.99 as of November 4, 2026, the $34 gap buys no extra feature.
Which has the better price history?
The 12 Quart Pressure Cooker fell to $49.99 on November 2, 2026, and was back at $109.99 by November 5. Set a price alert rather than paying list.
Can I saute or make yogurt in either?
The 12 Quart Pressure Cooker lists saute, steam, simmer and yogurt functions. The other listing only documents pressure cook and slow cook.
How long does the slow cook mode run?
Both list up to 9.5 hours, which suits chilies, roasts and overnight batches.
