I have been a pressure cooker user for over 15 years – first with stovetop, now with electric. I was originally leaning towards InstantPot, because they have swept the internet and are very well known, but ended up going with this one instead. Since I’m a very early reviewer, I thought I’d share some insight into the world of pressure cooking, why I chose this model, and why I’m happy that I did.1. Why I chose the Mealthy MultiPot over all of the other pressure cookers on the marketCountdown screen – pressure cooking can be a huge time saver, but it often takes the pot as long as 15-20 minutes to come up to pressure. Most pressure cookers do not inform you where you are in the cooking process until the final BEEP that your food is cooked. The MultiPot has a time tracker that allows you to see where are are – in preheat, in cooking, etc. Very useful for mealtime planning.Ability to change pressure level on all presets (some types of Poultry need High pressure, some need Low, it’s important to be able to choose)The pressure button actually pops UP, above the pot. Other models sit flush with the lid when at pressure, and below the lid when not at pressure – so you can never actually see it from across the kitchen. I love being able to see, from my couch, that my pot has come to pressure and started cooking.Keep Warm button can be turned off at any point during the cook processKeep Warm on this model is a very low, constant heat. Other models I’ve used have burnt the food when Keep Warm is left on.2. Sizing6 quarts is the perfect size for 2-6 people. It requires a minimum of 1 cup of liquid, which is completely doable for a range of portion sizes.6 quarts is also the standard size of most crockpots, if you’re making the switch3. AccessoriesI am most excited about the accessories that come with this pressure cooker. No other model on the market, according to my research, comes with as many. This one includes- Pot holders perfectly sized for picking the inner pot up out of the coooker- A trivet (I use mine most often to elevate veggies like sweet potatoes or spaghetti squash out of the water to steam them)- A steamer basket. This, especially is a huge value add. It will allow you to cook two dishes at once – one in the liquid down below, one in the basket above.- Not particularly an accessory, but this cooker comes with a one-pager guide to pressure cooking that basically teaches you how to cook everything you could ever want to cook. I’ve been pressure cooking for years, and I can say that the guide is spot on. I’ve actually taped it up to the wall behind where I now keep my MultiPot.Hopefully this is useful. I love pressure cooking and have done a lot of research, so wanted to share my findings.

I’ve been pressure cooking for decades, but resisted getting an electric pressure cooker for ages because we had, over the years, slowly accumulated specialized equipment which does almost everything they do. Stovetop pressure cookers, check. Rice cooker/porridge maker, check. Slow cooker, check. Yogurt maker, check. Boiled eggs, not so much (too many methods competing in my head, I guess). Well, you get the idea. But then we decided to get a camping/travel trailer, and all of those things couldn’t come along with us. Plus, there’d be no way to bake a cake. Suddenly an electric pressure cooker was looking mighty attractive. We combed through the ads and literature, and decided on the Mealthy for its near perfect ratings, rich set of features at a great cost point, and because it graphs its progress in completing its tasks. It didn’t hurt that it comes with all the accessories you’d need to use it. Plus, the graph is especially helpful when you’re trying to time all the dishes for a meal to be completed and ready to be served at the same time. We would have had to pay considerably more for any of its rivals with all the features it has.So far we are incredibly happy with it! It took a few tries to get the cake thing down, but my husband was game to eat plenty of practice cake (which I finished in our home oven if needed) as I worked that out, and I’ve finally produced a cake cooked entirely in the MultiPot; perfect cheesecake was incredibly easy. Our pressure cooker favourite, from scratch spaghetti sauce came out perfectly. Our favourite slow cooker recipe for chilli con carne also came out perfectly. I didn’t think anything would be able to cook rice better than our Zojirushi, but this did it one better, even cooking the only brown rice I’ve ever liked. Steel cut oats were just as good, though rolled oats were the messiest thing we’ve cooked in it: it turns out it’s very important to let the pressure release naturally when cooking oatmeal. Nothing, I thought, would be able to rival my Milk Carton Yogurt Maker, but the yogurt is at least as good (though the pot has to be cleaned after use, unlike the former, which makes the yogurt right in the carton). Eggs even I couldn’t mess up! I didn’t know I wanted to make barbecued ribs at home, but the ribs really are to die for.I had not realized it would be an issue, but the 6 quart Mealthy MultiPot is no taller than a 3 quart Instant Pot mini Ultra, so I can stow it away reasonably easily in the cabinet below the stove in the galley of our small camper. I don’t think that would have worked out with just any of the 6 quart Instant Pot brand electric pressure cookers. I used it several times just on our trip back home after picking up the camper. Being able to have homemade yogurt with my oatmeal was a real treat!It comes with just about anything you might want in the way of accessories: an extra silicone sealing ring in a different colour so you can use one for sweet, and one for savoury; a steam pan; trivet; even appropriately sized oven mitts, a ladle, and rice paddle. I got two tiered cooking pans for cooking more than one thing at a time (which, sadly, didn’t work for cake), a Bundt pan for cake, a springform pan for cheesecake, egg racks (which take up more room than I would have thought possible), and a larger (mesh) basket for mussels, bone broth that doesn’t have to be sorted by hand, and cooking eggs without the (too large, separately purchased) egg racks.Initially, it didn’t come with a ton of recipes, but that has changed. Mealthy really does have a website with thousands of recipes, and an app for that, though they’re not all MultiPot recipes. “The Complete Mealthy MultiPot Cookbook”, which is touted on the MultiPot’s Amazon page was disappointing, as it’s very poorly translated, and descends at times into indecipherable gibberish. This is, however, not a huge deal, as everybody and her sisters, and some of her brothers too are writing recipes for Instant Pots, and they’re not only available everywhere you turn, but work perfectly in the MultiPot on those occasions the cheat sheets which came with the MultiPot are not enough.The only other thing I thought I wanted was a ceramic coated, non-stick inner pot, which they’ve now come out with. I’ve gotten so used to the easy cleanup of the stainless steel pot that I haven’t purchased one. I did get a bit envious of the extra features of the Ninja Foodi when it first came out, but didn’t have space for it, and wouldn’t have been willing to give up my Mealthy MultiPot. Fortunately, they’re introducing a “CrispLid,” which totally changes that game.Last, but not least, Mealthy is an incredibly responsive company with superb customer support. They have a Facebook page which is very active, and the head of the company often answers user questions directly.This is definitely a keeper!
