The best-selling Instant Pot Duo multicooker not only replaces 7 appliances but also speeds cooking by 2-6 times and saves up to 70% of the energy used in traditional cooking methods. Frying can be challenging in most multi-cookers. As noted by Pat Tanumihardja, author of " Instant Pot Asian Pressure Cooker Meals," the sauté function rarely hits the temperature you can reach on a cooktop, leaving a stir-fry soggy. SAY GOODBYE TO MULTIPLE KITCHEN APPLIANCES AND DO IT ALL IN ONE COMPACT POT – pressure cooker, saute pan, steamer, slow cooker, rice cooker, food warmer, and yoghurt maker

Speaking of simultaneous, Ninja’s patented DualZone Technology allows you fry two foods at once, but there’s more. The Smart Finish feature ensures that foods cooked at the same settings are finished at the same time, while the Match Cook function transposes the cook settings of one bay to another. Like the AF161, the DZ201 has six cooking functions: air fry, air broil, roast, bake, reheat, and dehydrate. If you don't have room for a slow cooker, rice cooker, and steam cooker in your kitchen, opt for an all-in-one option. Comfee's stainless steel multi-cooker has six pre-set programs: white rice, brown rice, steam, oatmeal, quinoa, slow cook. There are also buttons for keeping the contents warm or delaying the cooker's start time so a meal is waiting for you when you get off work.You can take your time and have warm food at any time of the day! Is the Instant Pot worth the money? Whether you’re frying a lot or a little, the 4-quart ceramic basket is plenty big for any meal size. If you’re into dehydrated foods like vegetables and potatoes, there’s a setting for that, too. Best of all, the major internal components of the fryer are all dishwasher safe. And because the Duo is an Instant Pot, you know it brings all the quality and convenience that has made the Instant Pot name synonymous with multi-cookers. For those looking to ditch the cooker in favor of something more daring and delectable, the Ninja AF101 is a dedicated air fryer with plenty to love about it. The fryer’s cooking range lives between 105 and 400 degrees, an ideal variance for keeping moisture baked into the foods that need it while allowing for a golden-crisp outer shell for grub like fries and onion rings. It has a stylish look and is perfect for carrying around without any shame. The prestigious design and look is there for a reason! You can wave the trouble of carrying different cookers and steamers good bye. No need to overload your bag and bother carrying so many things to your destination. One is enough now.

The Instant Pot Duo Series uses the latest 3rd generation technology with an advanced microprocessor that monitors the pressure and temperature, keeps time, and automatically adjusts heating intensity and duration. Even the volume of food is considered, ensuring that your meals turn out perfectly every time. The trouble is over because it can cook up to five different dishes at once. Just put the ingredients in the cooker and program it according to your wish. The steamer will allow you to prepare fresh vegetables within the span of 3 minutes and the potatoes can be perfectly steamed within 15 minutes. The stew will simply take an hour, and boy will your Greek yogurt taste good! What a great time saver you have in your kitchen, right? Great for small spaces and small-to-medium batches, this compact multi-cooker won’t break the bank. It holds 4.5 quarts, so it can also be great for folks who already have a larger cooker but want an extra for side dishes. It has 14 cooking presets for white rice, brown rice, sushi rice, whole grains, hot cereals, quinoa, sauté, steam cook, soup/simmer, sear/brown, and warm. It also has high and low slow-cooking options and a delay timer. For an easy-to-use multi-cooker that releases its pressure valve automatically, consider the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker. For a solid buy that won't break the bank, we recommend the Hamilton Beach 4.5-Quart Digital Multi-Cooker. What to Look for in a Multi-Cooker Size The Duo does everything you can do with 7 other appliances: pressure cooker, saute pan, steamer, slow cooker, rice cooker, food warmer, and yoghurt maker. Clear the clutter from your counter and do it all with just one tool.

The best multi cookers you can buy in 2023

With similar styling to the Instant Pot, Tefal’s impressively affordable all-in-one cooker excels in a lot of areas. We’re particularly fond of its pressure cook and steaming functions, but it also does a whole host of other things including slow cooking, rice steaming, baking and browning. Rather unusually, this multi cooker also has its own one-touch function for warming and preparing baby food, which is very neat. SAVE ON YOUR ENERGY BILLS – Cooking with Instant® is an energy-efficient solution, using up to 80% less energy and costs compared to cooking in an electric oven. Want to cook a little more? The Ninja AF161 takes the fundamentals of the AF101 but cranks up the size. Instead of a 4-quart ceramic basket, the AF101 sports a 5.5 quart version. That’s enough cooking space for 3 whole pounds of French fries. Most multi-cookers hold 6 quarts or less, but this cooker gives more cooking space with a 7-quart cooking pot. It has four cooking functions: slow cook, roast, brown/sauté, and steam, so it’s great for all types of cooking. Even better, all functions except steam can be customized. Make sure to select the 7-quart version if you're going for the large-capacity option, as it comes in 3.5, 4, 6, and 6.5 quarts, too. It has sturdy handles for easy transportation and looks beautiful on a buffet line. HEALTHY COOKING WITH CONSISTENT RESULTS – The classic Instant Pot Duo adjusts pressure, temperature, time, and heat to cook food up to 70% faster than other methods and deliver consistent, delicious results every time

All-Clad might be best known for its quality cookware, but it also makes quality cooking appliances like this multi-cooker. The mirror-finished exterior will look classy in any kitchen and stunning on the buffet table. Interior size matters, too; most multi-cookers have their capacity listed in quarts. A 6-quart model works well for four to six people. For larger batches, you may want a bigger unit, while one- or two-person meals may cook best in a smaller device. It doesn’t offer you the 13 dfferent cooking programs or the convenience of 7 items. Instead, you will have to stand by the instant pot throughout the cooking period despite setting a time. If you go for this item, washing the pot will be far more challenging, and it requires a higher wattage of 1500 watts than the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1. If you’re looking for an Instant Pot clone that’s a bit more affordable, this is a good option. The 6l capacity is enough to accommodate a small family whether you’re cooking rice, curry, soups or stews. Better still, the inner bowl is dishwasher safe, making it relatively easy to clean. Moving on up, our next multicooker of note is the Ninja Foodi FD402, a cooker that ups the ante in several ways. For starters, you’ll be getting a number of the same core features found on the aforementioned OP101BRN model. That’s everything from TenderCrisp tech to the previously touted cook settings, and even the recipe book (with an additional 30 recipes compared to the OP101BRN). So what makes it different?
