The Instant Pot Rio Wide is a 7.5-quart electric multi-cooker with 7 cooking functions in one appliance: pressure cook, slow cook, sauté, steam, rice, yogurt, and keep warm. It serves up to seven portions. It has 13 one-touch smart programs, and status lights show which stage of cooking it is in.
The 1200-watt motor powers the cooker. The pot is 18/8 stainless steel with a tri-ply bottom for steady sautéing and even heating, and it is anti-spin. The wide base gives about 35% more cooking area than a typical 12" skillet, so there is room to sear, simmer, and reduce sauces.
An Easy-Release steam mechanism vents the cooker quickly and safely when cooking ends. Safety features include overheat protection and a secure lid seal, and the cooker is UL and ULC listed. The pot and lid are dishwasher safe. Cooking can be up to 70% faster than traditional slow cooking, depending on the recipe.
