Instant Pot Ceramic Inner Slow Cooking Pot 6-Qt, Non-Stick Coated Interior, Rice Cooker

I have an insta pot, and although I appreciate the durability of the stainless pot it comes with, I wanted a pot that could be washed in a jiffy when I have it on crockpot mode. This Teflon pot washes easily, soups cook great in it, and it comes with a lid. You may not use this on the pressure cooking mode! I have used it on saute and crockpot modes and it works well.

New review after buying the 6 quart inner pot: We also have a 6 quart Cosori Electric Pressure Cooker. I took a chance that this might fit even though it apparently doesn't work in all other EPCs... but it fits, PERFECTLY! So now we have all the benefits of the liner for the 8 quart machine, but for our smaller Cosori cooker. I use it mainly with slow-cooker function. These are SO nice for making bone broth, which can form a ring... but with this any ring that forms cleans out really easily with NO scrubbing. Same with making chili! This liner is also great for slow cooked overnight oatmeal! I still don't use it to sauté anything... for that I use the heavier bottomed stainless inner pot that came with the machine. For pressure cooking there's generally enough steam that the stainless inner pots stay pretty clean. I do my rice as pot-in-pot in a round pyrex dish (equal parts rice and water)... usually the 7 cup one. When we've taken what we need for dinner... the plastic storage lid goes on, and into the fridge... no mess at all -- and the rice is perfect every time! But for those long slow cooks that can leave a stainless pot a bit harder to clean up... the ceramic liner is perfection! Both of these liners were the less expensive items that had been returned to Amazon. In both cases I chose ones which indicated no damage, and in both cases I received pots in perfect condition with the original packing materials (the inner styrofoam to protect the pot's rim) intact. Original review of 8 quart pot: We needed a second inner pot and had planned on buying another stainless pot, but found this one on a good sale because of being returned, so decided to give it a try... and we could not be happier! The ceramic interior is VERY easy to clean. I have noted the photos by people where the ceramic has started to break down on the bottom of the pot... this inner pot does not have the thick bottom disk that is a part of the stainless inner pot. I am also a bit surprised that the outside of this inner pot is also covered with ceramic. It would seem it might hold up a bit better if the outside had been plain metal, with the ceramic only on the inside of the pot. So... I will probably NOT be using this with the sauté function... but for cooking down chicken bones for soup, using with the slow-cooker function, etc --- and with that I am hopeful it will last a long time, as it's just a wonderful addition for our IP!

This pot is superior in every way to the original stainless steel inner pot that came with my Instant Pot. It cleans much easier, doesn't retain smells/flavors from previous meals, and doesn't burn things on the bottom nearly as much. I originally got it as a spare for yogurt making (so I didn't have to use the same pot for meals) but I may get another and toss my stainless steel pot out. Highly recommended.

The Instant Pot ceramic non-stick inner pot is Teflon, PTFE and PFOA free from the Amazon ad and verified with the Instant Pot website. The ceramic coating is grey colored. Size is virtually identical to the original stainless steel pot (see pics) in terms of diameter and depth. I am not sure why other reviews noted a size difference. The ceramic is a coated aluminum (I think) pot, so on my electronic scale the stainless pot weights 1 lb 14 oz and the ceramic 1 lb 7 oz. It fits into the Instant Pot regular and Ultra fine with no problems. I use it as my #1 pot and saved the stainless steel as a backup. I've used the pot probably 3-times on average per week for about 8 months. The ceramic coating works very well, cooking or sautéing I've had no problems with sticking. Able to use less oil if sautéing. Cook time seems to be roughly the same between the two pots, in spite of their weight and composition difference. I don't sauté much with the pot but would guess the stainless pot might take a little longer to get up to top temperature. I have cooked stews and rice with no sticking. Once cooked it can be covered with the Instant Pot glass lid (link below) and kept warm or put into the oven to keep warm, however there are no handles, but the lip helps a little with kitchen gloves to transfer to the over or elsewhere . I use wood or nylon type utensils and have had no problem with chipping or scratching. I have no problems with staining after cooking red beets or curry, but cleaned up after cooking and didn't let sit in colored liquids overnight. Cleaning is easy using pads/sponges made to clean teflon type pans, one can also put the pot in the dishwasher. I have noted the lip on the edge pot has had the ceramic come off. I think this is due to the fastening of the lid to the pot, but again the ceramic on interior and exterior of the pot has remained intact. Overall pleased with this product, so much more easy than the stainless steel pot.

Good quality and fits the pot well but not as useful as the steel pot. Takes longer than the steel pot to warm up and cool down, meaning longer time to start sauteing or for steam to discharge after pressure cooking. Metal tools will damage the anti-stick coating - importantly that means you can't use a soup stick blender easily. Did not significantly reduce "food burn" errors for me - it burnt my attempt to pressure cook tikka masala, but at least I could put it in the steel pot and slow cook it ;)

Well made but didn’t fit

I wanted a backup inner pot because I use my IP often. It fits my 6 qt IP perfectly. This pot is lighter weight than the one that came with the IP, but it cooks evenly. The nonstick interior is nice, although it doesn’t seem to be much easier to clean than my original stainless steel inner pot. The price was right and was $ well spent. This works just as well as the original to make great meals in a hurry!

Zeer slecht product! Anti-aanbaklaag werkt totaal niet, alles blijft plakken. Weggegooid geld, niet kopen!

Me gustó mucho que el arroz no se pega como en la de acero inoxidable, además de que me permite hacer dos guisados en poco tiempo, sin necesidad de tener que desocupar la otra olla.

Ottima pentola interna antiaderente per instantpot. Io l'ho acquistata per la mia istantpot da 8l ed è perfetta. Ho scelto un prodotto venduto da amazon warehouse ed è nuovissima. Che dire,ho risparmiato molto e il prodotto è top.super consigliato. Amazon sempre impeccabile in tutto

Excelente accesorio para esos guisos donde ya se sabe que la comida se vs a pegar. Libre de bpa. Le cabe bien la tapa de silicon. Muy recomendable

In an apartment with limited kitchen space, the Instant Pot has proven to be a fantastic purchase. Pressure cooking and slow cooking tougher meats for use in curries and soups, and rice cooking, all in one device. This ceramic pot is not quite non-stick, but it is way better for rice than using the standard stainless steel pot. We have yet to use it for anything else, but we bought this ceramic pot instead of a good quality rice cooker after our experience with using the Instant Pot for rice. We've only ever had cheap rice-cookers, so a comparison between using an Instant Pot and an expensive ($100 plus) rice cooker is not something I can give you. I can say, however, that the rice we produce from the Instant Pot has a great chewiness that I have never experience in a restaurant. And with the same washing, and then rice to water ratio (1:1), we get consistently great results. I'm sure it's possible to use the "keep warm" option on the Instant Pot, but any additional heat takes the rice too far and it loses the chewiness, so we always take the rice out of the pot after cooking. You don't need to scrub, with a nylon scrubbing sponge, this ceramic pot the same way you do with the stainless steel, food residue lifts off quite easily. And you don't need to use vinegar to remove the white marks that the stainless steel pot has after cooking.
