Instant Pot Superior Cooker Slow Cooker + Multifunctional Cooker (140-4040-01) review

The Instant Pot Superior Cooker (SKU 140-4040-01) is a slow cooker, not a pressure cooker, from the brand best known for the Duo. Instant Pot describes it as a 4-in-1 that sears, slow cooks, steams and warms in one nonstick pot, with customizable temperatures, so you can brown meat and reduce sauces without a second pan. Its 7.5 quart capacity is the largest among the multi-function picks, and Instant Pot says it is light enough to move. The lid is dishwasher safe and the bundle includes bonus accessories. It carries a 1 Year Limited Warranty. Instant Pot's US product page sends shoppers to retailers instead of listing a price, so we could not verify one. Reviews on the same page are mixed, with some owners saying the pot is hard to clean. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run cooking tests.
