Instant Pot Superior Slow Cooker
7.1L cooker with sear, steam and keep-warm modes
Editorial review Reviewed 22 October 2026 How we assess products
A practical first choice for family stews and freezer batches: the 7.1L Superior browns ingredients in its own light coated pot before switching to timed slow cooking. Its four modes are easy to justify for everyday meals, and the glass lid helps you check progress. It occupies a broad area of worktop, however, and smaller meals are better suited to a smaller pot. Choose the Ninja MC1101UK for dedicated rice programmes, or a pressure cooker if you need to cook quickly after work.
