Our Favorite Pressure Cookers

Mom loves: It does everything — pressure, slow cook, rice, yogurt — and dinner for the whole crew is ready in a fraction of the time.
Whether you are pressure-cooking a roast, steaming a pot of rice, or want one machine that sautes, slow-cooks, and pressure-cooks, a good multi-cooker should be large enough for a crowd, simple to clean, and reliable night after night. We rated each pick for real-life family use, not lab specs alone.
