Introduction - The Instant Pot Pro is the newest flagship model with 7-in-1 functionality. It replaces the popular Duo with a modern interface and improved cooking precision. First Impressions - The Pro features a sleek black exterior with an improved control panel. The inner pot is stainless steel with improved grain for better searing. The new gasket release system makes cleaning easier. Performance Testing - Over 30 days, I tested the Pro for rice, beans, stews, yogurt, and sous vide-style cooking. The pressure cooking is noticeably faster than older models. The sauté function reaches higher temperatures. The newUI is more intuitive than the Duo. Specs - 6 quart capacity, 1000W, 7-in-1 functions, stainless inner pot, 15 smart programs, dishwasher safe, 14.8 lbs. Pros - Faster pressure cooking, improved UI, better searing temps, easy gasket cleaning, modern design. Cons - Premium price, less accessories included than Duo, no egg tray.
