Growing up, did your mother love her pressure cooker? I remember how much my mother insisted I had a pressure cooking added to my wedding registry. You know what, in the 10 years of ownership, I used it twice. I was terrified every time I used it too.  Then came the Instant Pot changing the pressure cooker experience for us all!

Make Life easier with America’s beloved Instant Pot, the programmable pressure & multi cooker. This kitchen appliance speeds up cooking time exponentially using up to 70% less energy.

Is Instant Pot Worth It?

Is Instant Pot worth it? It really depends. If you are someone who would rather prep a meal in the morning and let it cook all day, The Slow Cooker might still be your best friend. However, with the Instant Pot, you can still get that savory, slow cook taste in 5 to 30 minutes! If you are someone who prefers 30 minute (or less) meal preps in the evening, this programmable pressure & multi cooker is your solution!

Instant Pot Sizes

First let’s talk Instant Pot Sizes. For me, this is actually really important. We are a family of seven (with four hungry boys and two pre-teens), so a Instant Pot Ultra Mini is going to be terrible for my family. Instant Pot comes in three sizes so it’s really important to discover which Instant Pot is best for my family.

What Size Instant Pot Do I Need?

Help! Which Instant Pot is right for me? Figuring out which cooker works best for your family can be tricky and the Instant Pot website is actually very helpful.

The first thing you need to ask yourself is how big an Instant Pot do you need? It is important to know, there are three Instant Pot sizes – Mini, 6 quart and 8 quart. Within each sizing, there are four to eight different styles and features. That means, currently, there are 17 different Instant Pot Sizes and Styles. How do you possibly choose the right one?
