- How is the Pro different from the Instant Pot Duo?
- The Pro adds a flat diffusing bottom for better searing, a steam-release switch, an easy-seal lid indicator, and sous-vide and canning programs. The Duo is smaller, lighter and simpler.
- Is the inner pot dishwasher safe?
- No. Instant Pot specifies hand washing for the stainless steel inner pot and the sealing ring.
- Can it replace a slow cooker?
- Yes. It has slow-cook settings, though the heating element cycles differently from a dedicated slow cooker, so times can run slightly longer.
- Does it work for sous-vide?
- Yes. It has a sous-vide program with temperature control, though the water bath is smaller than a dedicated sous-vide container.
- What comes in the box?
- The cooker, a stainless steel inner pot, a sealing ring, a steam rack and a condensation collector.
- Is it good for a small kitchen?
- It is heavy and takes real counter space. If storage is tight, the smaller Duo models fit more easily.
- Where is the Instant Pot Pro 6-Quart Pressure Cooker cheapest?
- At Amazon, for $149.99, as of our latest check.
