Review

What to know about Instant Pot Pro 8 Qt (113-0044-01)

Instant Pot's 1400 W 10-in-1 pressure cooker with a stainless inner pot that has easy-grip handles, 28 programs and low/high pressure. America's Test Kitchen's overall winner. A good fit for families and batch cooks who want the strongest-tested stainless-pot model.

Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

ATK named the Pro 8 Qt its overall multicooker Winner, saying it excels at nearly every multicooker task. Testers praised the flat bottom for even searing, the stay-cool pot handles and the safer pressure-release switch.

At 1400 W with 28 programs, it is the strongest-tested stainless-pot model here.

What to know

Skip it at full price. ATK tested it near $150, and Amazon currently charges considerably more, so wait for a sale. Also skip it if you cook for one or two.
