" ... I like it how it doesn’t heat up your kitchen. ... "
" ... It's brilliant at gatherings for its keep warm or slow cook function giving the option of hot drinks (Mulled wine/cider or hot chocolate) or to keep items on a hot buffet warm throughout the course of a party, or indeed just keep the dinner warm for a relative returning home later than planned. ...

" ... It's safer than traditional pressure cookers as the lid locks when it comes up to pressure. ... "
" ... Luv,luv,luv the stainless steel inner pot. ... "
" ... Had a different brand previously which wasn’t a versatile, but did what I wanted initially until the ceramic from the inner liner came off. ... "
" ... I already had an electric pressure cooker that I was pleased with, but when I discovered that the Instant Pot has a stainless steel insert, instead of non stick coating I decided to invest in it. ... "
" ... The PKP is of course half the price but I found the IP to be of much better quality specifically the plastic handle, finish, and quality of the inner pot. ... "
" ... Good value and build. ... "
" ... The pros for this pot were the inner stainless steel pot (the only pot I could find with stainless steel inner pot) and the availability on the market of different accessories. ... "
