Our take on the Instant Pot Aura 10-in-1 Multicooker Slow Cooker, 6 Qt
The Instant Pot Aura is a 6-quart multicooker that combines slow cooking, searing, steaming, rice cooking, yogurt making and baking in one pot. Unlike the pressure-cooker Instant Pots, it is a non-pressurized cooker, so it browns and simmers like a slow cooker rather than speeding food up under pressure. It suits people who want one countertop pot for slow-cooker meals, rice and one-pot dishes without learning pressure cooking. Against slow cookers it adds searing and programmable modes; against the pressure-cooker Instant Pot line it is slower but simpler and easier to open, stir and taste as it cooks.
- Sears and browns before slow cooking in the same pot
- Ten preset cooking modes plus manual settings
- 6-quart pot fits family-sized batches
- Lid and inner pot are easy to lift, stir and clean
- Simpler and less intimidating than a pressure cooker

Questions and answers
- Does the Aura pressure cook?
- No. It is a non-pressure multicooker, so it slow cooks, sears, steams and bakes but does not build pressure like the Instant Pot Duo or Ultra.
- How is it different from a standard Instant Pot?
- A standard Instant Pot pressure cooks for speed. The Aura cooks at ambient pressure, so it is slower but easier to open, stir and taste during cooking.
- Can I brown meat in it before slow cooking?
- Yes. It has a sear mode, though browning is gentler than a stovetop pan and may take longer.
- What can it do besides slow cook?
- It also handles rice, steaming, sautéing, yogurt, baking and warming, along with manual temperature and time settings.
- How big is the pot?
- It is a 6-quart pot, sized for roughly four to six servings or a family meal.
