Our take on the Instant Pot RIO Gourmet 6QT Multi-Cooker

The Instant Pot RIO Gourmet is a 6-quart electric multi-cooker with 13 smart programs, covering pressure cooking, slow cooking, rice, yogurt, cake, sauté and keep warm. It keeps the 6-quart capacity of the Duo line in a slimmer base, and adds a guided cooking indicator that tracks progress and an Easy-Release switch for steam. The stainless-steel inner pot has anti-spin technology so it stays put while you stir or brown. It suits families and batch cooks who want one pot for weeknight meals; against the Duo it trades the older control panel for a simpler interface and the easier steam release, while rivals like the Ninja Foodi add air frying that this model does not have.

Questions and answers

How is the RIO Gourmet different from the Instant Pot Duo?
It has the same 6-quart capacity but a slimmer base, a guided cooking indicator and an Easy-Release steam switch instead of the Duo's manual valve.
Does it air fry?
No. It pressure cooks, slow cooks, steams, sautés, makes rice, yogurt and cake, and keeps warm, but it has no air-fry lid or basket.
How many people does the 6-quart pot serve?
Instant Pot rates it for up to six servings, which suits families, batch cooking and meal prep.
What comes in the box?
The cooker, a stainless-steel inner pot and a stainless-steel steam rack with handles.
Is the inner pot dishwasher safe?
The stainless-steel pot can go in the dishwasher, though hand washing preserves its finish; the lid and sealing ring are best washed by hand.
Can I sauté and brown in it before pressure cooking?
Yes. The sauté program heats the pot for browning, and the anti-spin pot stays in place while you stir.
Where is the Instant Pot RIO Gourmet 6QT Multi-Cooker cheapest?
At Walmart, for $119.99, as of our latest check.
