Is this a pressure cooker?

No. It is a slow cooker with four programs, a timer and keep-warm. It does not build pressure, so it cannot replace an Instant Pot Duo or similar multi-use cooker.

How many people does 7.5 quarts serve?

About 10 portions, per the specs. That suits a family of four with leftovers or a batch cooked for a gathering.

Can the pot go in the oven?

Yes, the pot is listed as oven safe, with a maximum temperature of 320°F. Check that your oven stays at or below that.

Is the inner pot dishwasher safe?

Yes. The nonstick pot is listed as dishwasher safe, and the glass lid can be washed by hand or on a dishwasher's top rack.

What comes in the box?

The cooker base, the 7.5-quart nonstick pot and a glass lid. A 3.4-foot cord is attached to the base.

Does it brown or sear meat?

No. At 800 watts and a 320°F maximum, it is for slow cooking and warming. Brown meat in a skillet first if you want a crust.

Our take on the Instant Pot 7.5qt Superior Cooker

The Instant Pot Superior Cooker is a 7.5-quart round slow cooker with an 800-watt heating base, a glass lid and a nonstick, dishwasher-safe pot. It runs four programs with a timer, digital display and keep-warm mode, and tops out at 320°F. The 7.5-quart pot holds about 10 portions, enough for a family or a batch of chili for a crowd. It is a slow cooker, not a pressure cooker, so it does not sear, sauté or pressure-cook like the multi-use Instant Pots.
