Best Pressure Cooker

Traditional Pressure Cooker

A conventional pressure cooker is manually operated and does the job in a relatively simple manner. While these appliances may not be as complex or exciting as other options, they tend to be inexpensive and get the job done.

Electric Pressure Cooker

Electric-powered pressure cookers are generally more powerful and effective. Of course, unsurprisingly, they do tend to be dearer, and they will come with various levels of wattage.

Multifunctional Pressure Cooker

This type of pressure cooker has many functions, offering many cooking settings to deal with various foods and produce a wide range of results. Multipurpose pressure cookers are great for those who want different results.

Digital Pressure Cooker

These hi-tech, modern pressure cookers are great if you want something with a useful display with various functions, giving you the ability to finely tune the cooking based on your preferences. Digital pressure cookers may have added benefits like built-in recipes available on the screen.

It comes with a cookware grade inner pot, and it has a 1200-watt heating element for fast cooking (it does have instant in its name, after all). One downside of its design is that it kind of looks like a radio at the front.

Ninja Foodi Multicooker

There are an incredible five distinct designs available when choosing this multifunctional pressure cooker (or put simply and neatly in its title 'multicooker'). There is the mini 6-in-1 option that is actually pretty sizeable considering it has a 4.7-litre capacity. Then are 7-in-1 and 9-in-1 6-litre capacity pressure cookers. Finally, you could also choose the max 7-in-1 or 9-in-1 7.5-litre capacity appliances.

As for the price, they all come with a cost that is pretty reasonable given their size and abilities, with the largest products costing a little over twice as much as the mini 6-in-1 multicooker. The number in X-in-1 titles of these designs refers to ways they can cook (e.g., air crisp, grill, slow cook, steam, and so on). To top it all off, these Ninja pressure cookers have a five-star rating on Amazon (from over 7,000 responses).
