Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Review — Is It Worth It in 2026?

The Instant Pot Duo is the best-selling multi-cooker in
the UK for good reason. It replaces seven kitchen
appliances in one device — pressure cooker, slow cooker,
rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, yoghurt maker, and warmer.

What You Get

The 7-in-1 comes in 3-litre and 5.7-litre versions.
For most UK households the 5.7-litre is the sweet spot —
big enough for batch cooking, small enough to store easily.

What We Like

  • Dramatically cuts cooking time — stews in 30 mins
  • One pot means less washing up
  • Consistent results every time
  • Large and active UK user community with recipes

What Could Be Better

  • Takes up counter space
  • Slight learning curve for pressure cooking
  • Lid storage is awkward

Verdict

If you batch cook, meal prep, or just want to simplify
weeknight dinners, the Instant Pot Duo is one of the
best kitchen investments you can make. It pays for
itself within weeks in time saved.
