Pressure cookers work by trapping steam in an tightly sealed pot, raising its boiling point and cutting cooking times significantly.
Are the horror stories surrounding pressure cookers leaving you wary? Don't be put off; today's models are safe and straightforward to use.
Our five best pressure cookers can reduce cooking times up to three times faster!

Professional Results, Effortless Cooking: Instant Pot Pro |
This unit boasts an upgraded stainless steel inner pot that's dishwasher-safe, an improved LED display with a cooking progress bar, new timed venting reminders and an enhanced steam release mechanism - its lid now auto seals automatically and you release steam simply by moving a slider switch from Vent to Vent position - instead of its predecessor model that required pressing down while holding onto its handle to release steam manually.
For those who require greater control, the Pro offers 28 customizable presets and five Favorite programs, and is compatible with an easy syncing app to set, schedule, and adjust from anywhere.
Furthermore, its claims to be 20% faster in preheating time than other pressure cookers while cooking foods up to 70% quicker!
2. Chef iQ
As with its main competitor, the $200 Chef iQ electric multi-cooker offers pressure cooking (reducing cooking times by up to 70%), steaming, slow cooking and sear/saute capabilities - but what really sets it apart is its app-powered guided recipes: when selecting one from its library of recipes, this machine sets itself up correctly before walking you through each step.
Furthermore, its handy calculator for optimal cooking times as well as custom presets is another standout feature.
Another fantastic feature is the option to set a percentage progress bar during pressurization, so that you can monitor how much time has elapsed without concern about over or undercooking of food.
Once your cook is complete, the app will notify you.
