Electric Pressure Cookers

Every listing here 4

No subgroups. Every pot filed here is stated in quarts and controlled the same way, so the only figure that separates them is the one on the front of the box.

• Largest stated count here

  

  Instant Pot Pro 8 Qt 10-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, Black

  10places claimed in the in-one figure; filled marks are named in the listing

  The listing states a ten-in-one machine of eight quarts, then names slow cook, rice, steam, saute, yogurt, keep warm and sous vide. The names run short of the count, and the listing does not say what fills the difference. It carries the highest in-one figure stated anywhere in this catalog.

  What the listing gives you

  • The listing names most of what it counts, which is unusual in this aisle
  • Capacity is given in quarts, the unit shared by every pot filed here
  • The in-one figure appears in the title rather than only in the bullet text
  • The listing describes an accompanying app with guided recipes

  What it leaves out

  • The listing never says what counts as one of the ten
  • Some of the ten are not named anywhere in the listing text
  • No wattage is stated, so the count sits next to nothing measurable

  Best for
  Reading the gap between a count and the list of names printed under it.

  Badge basis
  Its in-one figure is the highest stated in this category, and no other listing here states the same figure.

• Second-largest stated count here

  

  Instant Pot Duo Plus 6 Qt 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, Stainless Steel

  9places claimed in the in-one figure; filled marks are named in the listing

  A nine-in-one of six quarts. The listing names slow cook, rice, steam, saute, yogurt, sterilizer and keep warm, and the names again fall short of the number. Nothing in the listing explains why a sterilizer occupies one place and keep warm occupies another.

  Capacity

  6 of the counted fields

  What the listing gives you

  • Most of the places in the count are named in the listing text
  • Quarts again, so the capacity sits on the same scale as the rest of this category
  • The listing separates sterilizer from the cooking names rather than folding it in
  • The stated count is unique among the four pots filed here

  What it leaves out

  • Part of the count goes unnamed
  • A count of nine cannot be checked against a count of ten while neither defines a place
  • No wattage and no temperature figure is stated

  Best for
  Seeing how a count and a list of names can disagree without either being wrong.

  Badge basis
  Only one listing in this category states a higher in-one figure, and this figure is stated by this listing alone.

  Quoted from the listing
  listing states 9-in-1, 6 quart, slow cook, rice, steam, saute, yogurt, sterilizer, keep warm and an app with guided recipes

• Smallest stated capacity here

  

  Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Mini Electric Pressure Cooker, 3 Quart, Stainless Steel

  7places claimed in the in-one figure; filled marks are named in the listing

  A seven-in-one of three quarts, and here the names reach the count: slow cook, rice, steam, saute, yogurt, warmer and sterilizer. It carries the smallest capacity stated in this category. The listing also advertises an app, which is a claim about software rather than about the pot.

  Capacity

  3 quart

  Not stated

  6 of the counted fields

  What the listing gives you

  • The number of named modes matches the stated in-one figure
  • The smallest stated pot here, and the only listing stating that capacity
  • Every named mode is a word rather than a code, so nothing hides behind an abbreviation
  • Capacity is stated in the same unit as the rest of this category

  What it leaves out

  • Matching names to the count still does not define what a place is
  • The recipe figure describes an app, not the machine
  • No wattage is stated, so the count stands on its own

  Best for
  The one listing in this category where the names add up to the number on the front.

  Badge basis
  No other listing in this category states this capacity, and none states a smaller one.

  Quoted from the listing
  listing states 7-in-1, 3 quart, slow cook, rice, steam, saute, yogurt, warmer and sterilizer, and a free app with over 1900 recipes

• Same count, different list

  

  Instant Pot Rio Mini 4 Qt 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, Black

  7places claimed in the in-one figure; filled marks are named in the listing

  Another seven-in-one, this one of four quarts, naming slow cook, rice, steam, saute, yogurt and keep warm. It shares its in-one figure with one other pot filed here, and the two listings do not name the same set of modes.

  Capacity

  4 quart

  Not stated

  6 of the counted fields

  What the listing gives you

  • The capacity figure is unique among the pots filed here
  • Most of the places in the count are named
  • The listing keeps its claim short, with no app or recipe figure attached
  • Quarts again, so the figure is comparable inside this category

  What it leaves out

  • Part of the count is never named
  • It shares its stated count with another pot that names a different set
  • Neither wattage nor a temperature figure is stated

  Best for
  The clearest case of two identical counts covering two different lists.

  Badge basis
  Its in-one figure is also stated by another listing in this category, and the two listings name different sets of modes.

  Quoted from the listing
  listing states 7-in-1, 4 quart, slow cook, rice, steam, saute, yogurt and keep warm
