Get Your Own Mechanical Kitchen Assistant [SEE EQUIPMENT GUIDE]( [Hannah Crowley, Executive Editor, ATK Reviews] I admit it; I was rolling my eyes when the [Instant Pot]( trend first hit. Folks were just so darn fervid about them. I even made a joke in my first multicooker review: “Have you heard the joke about vegans? ‘How do you know someone’s vegan? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.’ Instant Pot owners are the same way.” Well, guess who is on team Instant Pot these days? The captain, dare I say? Yup, little old me.
After weeks testing every major model, I emerged a fan of these multifaceted devices. They’re fast. They make exceptionally flavorful food. They cut down on dirty dishes. They’re more hands off than cooking on the stovetop. I consider mine my little sous chef. I like to steam some veggies and then cook some rice and then cook a dish for dinner, such as [ziti with a nice ragu]( or [mussels]( (both excellent in a multicooker). I don’t wash the insert between dishes, so I’ve got a head start on the week’s meals and put dinner on the table, and I’ve only dirtied one pot. Check out our cookbook, [Mediterranean Instant Pot]( for some gorgeous recipe inspiration. [A Multicooker]( Must-Have of the week
A Multicooker
Our top-rated multicooker, the [Instant Pot Pro 8Qt.]( is super-easy to use. The pot has stay-cool handles, sears evenly, and can be used on the stovetop. A pressure-release switch keeps your hand away from the hot steam when you vent the machine, and a diffuser on the vent makes the steam disperse more gently. You can program a timer to alert you after 5 or 10 minutes of natural pressure release. This multicooker will turn you into an Instant Pot fan in a jiffy. Welcome to the club!
