FAQs

What is the difference between a multi-cooker and a slow cooker?

A multi-cooker does everything a slow cooker does, plus pressure cooking, steaming, sautéing, and more — all in one pot.

Is an Instant Pot worth it in the UK?

Yes. It cuts cooking times by up to 70% and replaces multiple appliances, saving worktop space and money.

What size multi-cooker do I need?

5.7L suits most UK families (3–4 people). A 3L model works well for couples. Go for 8L only if you batch cook regularly.
