Instant Pot Ceramic Inner Slow Cooking Pot 6-Qt, Non-Stick Coated Interior, Rice Cooker

I have an insta pot, and although I appreciate the durability of the stainless pot it comes with, I wanted a pot that could be washed in a jiffy when I have it on crockpot mode. This Teflon pot washes easily, soups cook great in it, and it comes with a lid. You may not use this on the pressure cooking mode! I have used it on saute and crockpot modes and it works well.

New review after buying the 6 quart inner pot: We also have a 6 quart Cosori Electric Pressure Cooker. I took a chance that this might fit even though it apparently doesn't work in all other EPCs... but it fits, PERFECTLY! So now we have all the benefits of the liner for the 8 quart machine, but for our smaller Cosori cooker. I use it mainly with slow-cooker function. These are SO nice for making bone broth, which can form a ring... but with this any ring that forms cleans out really easily with NO scrubbing. Same with making chili! This liner is also great for slow cooked overnight oatmeal! I still don't use it to sauté anything... for that I use the heavier bottomed stainless inner pot that came with the machine. For pressure cooking there's generally enough steam that the stainless inner pots stay pretty clean. I do my rice as pot-in-pot in a round pyrex dish (equal parts rice and water)... usually the 7 cup one. When we've taken what we need for dinner... the plastic storage lid goes on, and into the fridge... no mess at all -- and the rice is perfect every time! But for those long slow cooks that can leave a stainless pot a bit harder to clean up... the ceramic liner is perfection! Both of these liners were the less expensive items that had been returned to Amazon. In both cases I chose ones which indicated no damage, and in both cases I received pots in perfect condition with the original packing materials (the inner styrofoam to protect the pot's rim) intact. Original review of 8 quart pot: We needed a second inner pot and had planned on buying another stainless pot, but found this one on a good sale because of being returned, so decided to give it a try... and we could not be happier! The ceramic interior is VERY easy to clean. I have noted the photos by people where the ceramic has started to break down on the bottom of the pot... this inner pot does not have the thick bottom disk that is a part of the stainless inner pot. I am also a bit surprised that the outside of this inner pot is also covered with ceramic. It would seem it might hold up a bit better if the outside had been plain metal, with the ceramic only on the inside of the pot. So... I will probably NOT be using this with the sauté function... but for cooking down chicken bones for soup, using with the slow-cooker function, etc --- and with that I am hopeful it will last a long time, as it's just a wonderful addition for our IP!

This pot is superior in every way to the original stainless steel inner pot that came with my Instant Pot. It cleans much easier, doesn't retain smells/flavors from previous meals, and doesn't burn things on the bottom nearly as much. I originally got it as a spare for yogurt making (so I didn't have to use the same pot for meals) but I may get another and toss my stainless steel pot out. Highly recommended.

The Instant Pot ceramic non-stick inner pot is Teflon, PTFE and PFOA free from the Amazon ad and verified with the Instant Pot website. The ceramic coating is grey colored. Size is virtually identical to the original stainless steel pot (see pics) in terms of diameter and depth. I am not sure why other reviews noted a size difference. The ceramic is a coated aluminum (I think) pot, so on my electronic scale the stainless pot weights 1 lb 14 oz and the ceramic 1 lb 7 oz. It fits into the Instant Pot regular and Ultra fine with no problems. I use it as my #1 pot and saved the stainless steel as a backup. I've used the pot probably 3-times on average per week for about 8 months. The ceramic coating works very well, cooking or sautéing I've had no problems with sticking. Able to use less oil if sautéing. Cook time seems to be roughly the same between the two pots, in spite of their weight and composition difference. I don't sauté much with the pot but would guess the stainless pot might take a little longer to get up to top temperature. I have cooked stews and rice with no sticking. Once cooked it can be covered with the Instant Pot glass lid (link below) and kept warm or put into the oven to keep warm, however there are no handles, but the lip helps a little with kitchen gloves to transfer to the over or elsewhere . I use wood or nylon type utensils and have had no problem with chipping or scratching. I have no problems with staining after cooking red beets or curry, but cleaned up after cooking and didn't let sit in colored liquids overnight. Cleaning is easy using pads/sponges made to clean teflon type pans, one can also put the pot in the dishwasher. I have noted the lip on the edge pot has had the ceramic come off. I think this is due to the fastening of the lid to the pot, but again the ceramic on interior and exterior of the pot has remained intact. Overall pleased with this product, so much more easy than the stainless steel pot.

Good quality and fits the pot well but not as useful as the steel pot. Takes longer than the steel pot to warm up and cool down, meaning longer time to start sauteing or for steam to discharge after pressure cooking. Metal tools will damage the anti-stick coating - importantly that means you can't use a soup stick blender easily. Did not significantly reduce "food burn" errors for me - it burnt my attempt to pressure cook tikka masala, but at least I could put it in the steel pot and slow cook it ;)

The Instant Pot Ceramic Inner Cooking Pot 6-Qt is a must-have accessory for anyone who owns an Instant Pot. It is lightweight, durable, and has a nonstick coating that makes cooking and cleaning a breeze. I was initially surprised by how lightweight the pot is, but it is still very sturdy. The nonstick coating is also top-notch. I have cooked a variety of meals in the pot, including rice, pasta, meat, and vegetables, and nothing has ever stuck. The pot is also very easy to clean. I usually just wipe it out with a damp sponge after cooking, and it comes clean as new. I have also put it in the dishwasher a few times, and it has come out perfectly fine. Overall, I am extremely impressed with the Instant Pot Ceramic Inner Cooking Pot 6-Qt. It is a high-quality product that has made my Instant Pot experience even better. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a replacement inner pot for their Instant Pot. Pros: Lightweight Durable Nonstick coating Easy to clean Cons: None that I can think of! Rating: 5 out of 5 stars I would even give it 6 out of 5 stars if I could!

Absolute perfect fit for my 6qt Floral Pioneer Woman Instant Pot. Very pleased with this purchase, TY

As a no stick pot and held up to what it was supposed to do, I like it
