6QT RIO 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker, Pressure Cooker, Slow cook, Sauté, Steam, Rice Maker, Yogurt, & Warmer, Black, 6 Quarts

Love this Insta pot, although it has seven functions. I have only used the pressure cooker option thus far however I have used it several times. I love how you can put frozen meat and have it cooked and come out so tender so quickly. It’s easy to use and easy to clean. I bought the glass cover separate. I am able to take out the inner pot and store the leftovers in my refrigerator. It’s very nice to look at too.

I hate to cook and oh boy I wish I would have gotten this instant pot years ago! I love it!!!! I have different ways of using it like for instant I watched YouTube videos to get tips. Use hot water from tea kettle. Or braise sauté in another pot use broth and the. Put it in instant pot it takes less time to go from on to cook than whe. ISI g cold water. I have use pressure cook and after finished and natural release or wait about 5 minutes and then open lid put noodles in and cover back up and the hot liquid cooked the noodles even though instant pot is off and unplugged. It also did the same thing for the rice. It didn’t work on potatoes and carrots though 🤣 I love the width of the bottom is wide.

I LOVE my Instant pots. I have a larger one, but I cook too much for the two of us and a lot of food gets thrown away. I decided to try a smaller pot so reduce food waste. This thing has been great. It is so easy to use and safe. I know the history of pressure cookers and them having issues. I have never had that issue with any of mine. They have safety features now that make them much safer. You just have to follow their directions and suggestions for use. That being said, I have cooked a lot of stuff in mine and it has been fantastic. The food wasn't always fantastic but that was me, not the pot. The one thing that I will never cook on the stove top again is rice. I cannot cook rice on the stove, but this thing makes it super easy and turns out great every time. I also love that you can saute in this pot. I can brown my meat, deglaze, then add the rest of the ingredients and turn it on. It is so much faster than cooking on the stove, too. I actually don't have a stove, so this, the microwave, a slow cooker, and an air fryer is how we cook everything. It usually works pretty well. With YouTube and the All Recipes channel, I am learning how to cook things that we eat all the time and even add a few new ones. Even when we get a full kitchen with a stove, I will still use this thing regularly. I love how quickly I can have dinner ready and I don't have to stand over a stove for an hour doing it. Have I said how much I love this thing? I do still cook too much, but it's getting better because it simply won't fit in the pot.

I bought this 6‑quart Instant Pot and it has been an excellent purchase. At home I usually cook for 6 people, and the size is perfect. The pot heats up quickly, cooks evenly, and has saved me a lot of time on recipes that used to take hours. The pressure function is very powerful, the rice comes out perfect, and the sauté mode helps avoid using extra pans. It’s easy to clean and the materials feel high‑quality. After several uses, it still works like the first day. I recommend it for families or for anyone who wants to cook faster without losing flavor.

Love this pot! I donated my older model (2016) 6qt Instant pot because the interface was just too confusing and I ended up stopping and starting it over and over because I couldn't figure out the correct settings. Just made me mad all the time. So this Rio is much easier to deal with! It's beautiful. I use it with the steamer rack to cook chicken breast and use a hand mixer to shred it right in the pot. So much quicker and easier (and less smelly) than poaching on the stovetop. So it's easier to keep the freezer stocked with containers of shredded chicken for soups, wraps, etc. The recipe potential for this pot is vast, but I cook for one, so I don't need a bunch of meals. It is perfect for cooking batches of chicken or beans or whatever you use frequently, and then freezing it. No confusion with the interface or the position of the steam release valve. The cooking pot is big, too. Rio is a much better model than the older pot I bought in 2016. I have a 3qt, also, that's a few years old.

I purchased the IP to mainly save time on making beef and chicken bone broth; but am sure I’ll do much more with this. Have used it a few times and here’s my take on it both positive and negative. First, as you probably know, this cooks realllllly fast. Rack of ribs = 30’. And tender is an under statement. I usually smoke mine in a smoker for 6 hours but if you want them fast use the IP. They will break apart when removing that’s how tender they are. They don’t look pretty or have smoke flavor but you can pretty them up after removing. But this will also make incredible pulled pork it’s that tender. Chicken stock - on stovetop normally takes 12-24 hours. With the IP 1 hour for amazing gelled stock/broth. Huge time saver. This was the main reason for me to purchase this. The only downside is when cooking stock the traditional way, your whole house smells great. With the IP…no aroma. A few negatives. The lid does NOT lock when first putting it in the lock position. When beginning the cook you could accidentally bump it and it will unlock. It does lock when pressure starts. No detachable power cord. Don’t understand this. So storing is a bit of a problem. Be careful on what seasonings you use when sautéing as some will burn. I don’t care what the videos show, they can burn if not careful. You can always lower the temp however. But if they do burn, deglazing is a bit tougher. I don’t care for the beep sound volume, especially when cooking is done. They are too low in volume. I like the sounds, but if you are in another room you will not hear it. Even in the same room with the TV on the sound is low. The Smart buttons are just shortcuts. You can just as easily hit the manual button and set the time. Not really a negative but I don’t use them. These negatives are not deal breakers. I really like the IP. I think it will be extremely useful when you want a full meal quick. Sometimes I forget to defrost something or come home late afternoon and it’s too late to start a whole meal the traditional way. With the IP this isn’t a problem. So far it’s a great appliance.

I love this little 4qt pressure cooker. It’s everything I expected and wanted. I have two slow cookers, an air fryer, a kitchen aid mixer, a coffee marker, and an espresso machine. So I sort of like small appliances, but I’m usually also hesitant to buy them unless they can really be used regularly. I use all these almost every week, sometimes two or three times. I made the ubiquitous Instant Pot Mac and cheese tonight and it turned out exactly like my regular staple recipe that my family loves. Only it was super easy, faster, and used only one pot. Instructions to get started were super simple and it felt very safe. I was worried there would be a learning curve but didn’t seem like it at all. I bought this smaller one because I don’t want huge small appliances like the 6 or 8-qt versions, and I wanted this specifically to help me make side dishes quickly. A lot of the main meals I see made in these don’t look that appealing but I love that I can make baked beans from scratch in about an hour and hard boil eggs in a large batch super quickly and easily. My husband was slightly worried because his experience was that things cooked in the Instant Pot need a lot of salt to taste good. He worked as a photographer in a famous test kitchen and would watch and sample the foods the cooks made. I used one tsp of salt and he said it didn’t need any more. We are sold.

If you're already familiar with instant pots, you'll already know to expect some differences between models. Disregarding the size difference, a few things are noteworthy: 1) The interface is a little less complex on this one than other models. For instance, the pressure cooking setting doesn't have temperature control. So, just set it to pressure cook and away you go. 2) They've added an anti-rotate feature for the pot so you can stir things without the pot spinning around inside the unit. I hope they add this feature to all future models. It's just some silicone/rubber nubs that make contact with the pot when it is inserted. It's simple and effective. 3) The power cord is permanently affixed to the unit and at least for the US version, is just a 2 prong plug (and just by the way, that's all it needs. It draws less power than the bigger models). My wife has a big family so we have an 8qt instant pot duo crisp model that gets a work out for family events. One of my kids has a 6qt duo crisp. Both are just too big for 2-3 person meals. This Rio Mini is exactly right. I've only had it for a few days, but I've done all of the things I normally do with an instant pot and it performs exactly as I'd hope. I made a chicken meal from frozen to plated in under 30 minutes. I've done baked potatoes. I cooked rice (and by the way, the rice cooker feature is missing from our huge duo crisp model - you can do it, but it isn't as simple. This one is dead simple.). And, last night I did a more complex Bolognese/Penne pasta meal that turned out exactly as expected. I have no complaints about this model what so ever. I picked black because I don't care about matching any decor. It was easy to find it a home in my limited counter space. I ordered a silicone and a glass lid for the 6qt size and they fit this one perfectly. I have no idea if the silicone rings are interchangeable though. I like to keep a couple of seal rings to avoid flavor transfer after doing something heavy on onion or garlic and then doing something sweet or bland. Also, I'll be looking forward to when they offer spare pots for this one. It's nice to be able to make a main course, put a silicone lid on it, and then swap pots to make a side or a desert without having to empty and clean the first pot. This device is going to get a lot of use. The only thing that stops me from using our 8qt model more often and for more things is the size because there are often only two or three of us home to feed most days.

I purchased the Instant Pot recently, and it has genuinely improved my daily cooking routine. The multi-function options are very well-designed — pressure cooking, sautéing, slow cooking, and steaming all work flawlessly. Rice, biryani, dal, soups, and even boiled vegetables are cooked perfectly with consistent results. The stainless-steel inner pot is sturdy and easy to clean, unlike non-stick pots that wear out quickly. I also appreciate the safety features: lid lock, pressure release valve, and auto temperature control. The appliance feels premium, user-friendly, and energy-efficient. Overall, the Instant Pot is a reliable, time-saving kitchen appliance, especially for busy households. Totally worth the purchase.

I love this electric pressure cooker. Read the instructions carefully on how to use properly to avoid steam burn. You have to be familiar of all the buttons to use when cooking base on what you want to cook. Just press one button no adjustment. For example, if you want to cook beans, just press one button that says chilli/beans it automatic set for 20 minutes, and so on. When the cooking time is done do not open the lid yet, you have to release the steam button on top of the lid to release the steam slowly, you have to use cooking gloves to avoid steam burn. Just be very careful. The steam button on top to release the steam will make noise like, frizzzzzzz you release that slowly with your hand with cooking gloves until you get the full all the way release down, then hands off, the steam will continue to release until there is none to release, then, wait for 5 minutes and try to open the lid. When you open the lid try to put your face and arm away for pre caution in case there is steam left and may get to your face or arm. Everything has to be handled carefully, then, you're fine. When cooking you have to keep the steam button close, from the manufacturer, it set to up, but it might be down you don't notice, just check first before you start pressing the cooking button. Must be up all the time until the cooking is done. Then, when the cooking is done, get a pair of cooking gloves and hold the small steam release button down slowly to release the steam, slowly down, do not release the button too fast to avoid steam burn. Has to release slowly. When you reach to a full down, then, hands off to avoid steam burn, the steam sounds ...frizzzzzz when it releasing. I recommend this item to customers to buy if they are looking for a good electric pressure cooker = 5/5 stars.

Es muy bonita y funcional me encanto

Ésta remplaza a mi vieja instant pot. Es más bonita, creo que un poco más rápida, pero tiene un defecto en el diseño que a mi no me gusta. PRECALIENTA. Así que primero PRECALIENTA y luego continua, por lo que la función de SAUTE es distinta a la anterior y se debe dejar que termine y luego poner la comida. Sino, nunca acaba o empieza el time. Este proceso toma casi 5 minutos. Así que si vas a sautear algo terminas casi siempre apagándole manualmente. Y bye a lo smart.... En fin, alguien tuvo una brillante idea, pero no cocina con el producto. Ni hablar, es lo único malo... Por lo demás, increíble y fácil de usar. Buena idea el nuevo sistema para tirar el vapor.

Great Service,
