Should You Buy an Instant Pot?
Buy if you regularly cook dried beans, stews, soups, or rice for a household. Poor value if it will mostly sit on a shelf.
Red flags
- Buying for just one or two use cases you could do in a pot
- Discount model with fewer safety certifications
- Complex interface if you want a simple rice cooker — get a rice cooker
