Hi Samantha – I’m glad you’re loving your Pro and having a great time pressure cooking. Did you read our review of the Instant Pot Pro Smart? https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/instant-pot-smart-review/ One thing that I like better about the Pro, is that you can manually release the pressure. With the Smart you have to use the digital release or the app to release the pressure.

I received it for Christmas (2021) and I’ve used it almost every day since! I wasn’t cooking full meals most nights before this but it’s so fun cooking with it that I’m now making meals almost every day! My only complaint is I wish I would’ve got the 8qt instead of the 6qt. Now, I see there’s a new Instant Pot Pro Smart version and I’m thinking of trading them out. I’m also about to purchase an accessory kit from Amazon soon so that I can use the bake feature because I attempted to bake cookies by lining the bottom with foil and following a tutorial video but they didn’t come out right. Theirs did but mine didn’t- user error. This is a great purchase for anyone who cooks at all from a beginner to a pro chef! It’s made rice and noodles perfectly but also makes pork finger licking good! Meats that can easily come out dry come out moist with this IP! The best thing is if you happen to overcook anything then you automatically know to cut down cooking time 1-2 minutes the next time and it will be perfect because it cooks the same every time! Anyway, I could go on and on about this product but if you’re on the fence THIS IS YOUR SIGN!

I thought I saw a post by you, somewhere, that said the Mealthy CrispLid is compatible with the Pro. I can’t find that post now, so I have to ask. I don’t want to melt my handles.

Love your site and recipes.
Thank you,
Robin

Thanks Jay! I have not had nor have I heard of anyone having a problem with saute or burn warnings with the Pro. No, you cannot label the custom presets. You may want to create a cheat sheet for them. 🙂

I’ve also heard that lots of Duo Evos have problems with burn warnings, is that fixed in the Pro?

For the custom presets, does it let you program in a label for the preset so you can remember what it is? I’m imagining programming in five favorites and having to stick a paper label to the machine saying

1: brown rice
2: lentil stew
3: … (etc etc)

because I’ll never remember which preset is which.

Thanks for the great review.

Hi David – sorry your buttons have worn out. I haven’t had that problem. The buttons on the new Instant Pot Pro Plus are different, it’s a touch screen, so I assume they’d be less likely to wear out.

The print is unreadable on several.  Is there a way to fix this, and are the buttons on the new model more durable?

It doesn’t drain there! Today I took the lid off my rice and a lot of hot liquid dripped out (burning me) before I could get it in the lid rest.

I know it seems like I wasn’t being careful, but I was!

We camp a lot and I want to be able to use the pot separately from the IP.

A 6 quart is too big for us and also doesn’t fit in the refrigerator.
