It’s stainless steel, so it looks like it belongs in a sci-fi film, and it’s got 10 safety mechanisms to prevent you from burning down your kitchen. The energy-efficient bit is just a bonus. Because who needs a lower electricity bill, right?

Who It's For

Meet the busy parent who treats cooking as a necessary evil. Instant Pot’s one-button wonders make them look like a culinary genius. Then there’s the gadget geek who needs this to complete their countertop tech collection. They’ll use it twice but talk about it thrice. Finally, the health nut who wants to steam everything because they read online that steamed kale is the new superfood. They’ll ignore the fact that it can also make cheesecake. These folks unite under the banner of convenience, with varying degrees of enthusiasm for actual cooking.
