How does it compare with an Instant Pot?

It matches the core pressure, slow cook and sauté jobs and sears harder thanks to 1500 watts. Instant Pot models offer more presets and, on some versions, app control.

Can I use metal utensils in the pot?

Better not. The pot is non-stick, so wooden or silicone tools protect the coating from scratches.

Does it have a delay start or keep warm?

Keep-warm and delayed cooking are standard on this class of multicooker, so check the control panel for the timer and keep-warm buttons.

What can I cook in it?

Stews, chilis, rice, beans, steamed vegetables and seared meats. The sauté and sear modes let you brown in the same pot before pressure cooking.

Is it dishwasher safe?

The non-stick pot and lid parts are typically hand-wash recommended to protect the coating; check the manual before putting anything in the dishwasher.
