Know before you buy
The RIO Wide features a shorter, broader inner pot that provides 35% more surface area than traditional models. This design makes it significantly easier to sear large cuts of meat, sauté vegetables without overcrowding, and access food at the bottom of the pot.
Yes, the WhisperQuiet technology is designed to diffuse steam more gradually and quietly than older models. While it still releases pressure, it significantly reduces the loud hissing sound typically associated with manual pressure release.
Yes, both the stainless steel inner pot and the cooking lid are dishwasher-safe. This makes cleanup much easier compared to models that require hand-washing the lid components.
The inner pot is engineered to lock into place within the base, preventing it from rotating while you stir or sauté ingredients. This stability provides a safer and more controlled experience when you are browning meats or mixing thick sauces.
It functions as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, warmer, yogurt maker, cake maker, and sous vide machine. While it handles these tasks effectively, it is best suited for users who want to consolidate their countertop appliances into one versatile, space-saving unit.
The smart guided cooking provides on-screen, step-by-step instructions that walk you through the process. Combined with 25 smart presets that automatically adjust time and temperature, it takes the guesswork out of complex recipes for those new to pressure cooking.
