How does it compare with the Instant Pot Duo?

Both are six-quart electric multi-cookers with presets and sauté. The COSORI covers the core functions; the Duo adds a few extra modes on some versions. For basic pressure cooking they perform similarly.

Is 6 quarts big enough for a family?

Six quarts suits three to five people and fits a whole chicken, a large batch of chili or several cups of dry beans. It is large for one or two people cooking small portions.

Can I brown meat in it before pressure cooking?

Yes. The sauté mode lets you brown meat and soften onions in the same pot before switching to pressure cooking.

Is the inner pot dishwasher safe?

The removable nonstick inner pot is designed for easy cleaning and can generally go in the dishwasher, though hand washing preserves the coating longer.

Does it replace a slow cooker?

It has a slow-cook mode, so it can stand in for a slow cooker, though results and timing differ from a dedicated unit.

What comes in the box?

The cooker, a removable inner pot, a lid and a steam rack for pot-in-pot cooking. Accessories vary by version.

Our take on the 6.0-Quart Pressure Cooker

The COSORI 6.0-Quart Pressure Cooker is an electric multi-cooker that pressure cooks, sautés, steams, slow cooks and more, with food-specific presets for one-touch meals. Six quarts suits families of three to five and fits a whole chicken or a batch of beans. Against the Instant Pot Duo it is a close rival: similar presets and capacity, but fewer of the extra functions found on higher-end models. Owners generally find it simple to use and easy to clean, though some report uneven results on quick-release recipes and a learning curve for timing.
