Pot Rio

Loves their Rio Mini more than their 5.7 L Rio, but it's rubbish at slow cooking: water pours out and they must empty the overflow several times.

Their Instant Pot Rio stopped cooking: the display works but sticks at 00:40 and the pot never heats, even after a reset and a new power connector.

Got the 4 qt Rio, loves it and gave their 3 qt to their granddaughter.

Finds the Rio Mini 4 qt the sweet spot: it has the 6 qt's diameter but is shorter, so sautéing is effective and fast and the 6 qt ring and glass lid fit; the downside is finding shallow pans for pot-in-pot.

“It has the same diameter as the 6QT but isn’t as tall, so it has more surface area to sauté ingredients before adding liquid and cooking under pressure. For this reason the sauté function is very effective and fast!”

Recently bought the 4 qt Rio and loves it: perfect for two, easy to store, a great rice function, and they use it daily after getting rid of their big clunky one.

Their Rio 4 qt is perfect for two: one cup of dal makhani fills it to the max line and gives two meals for both of them.

Replaced their Duo, which burned out after many years, with a Rio; so far so good and they don't see a big difference.

Just got a Rio 4 qt and likes it as a basic cook: only high pressure, but the steam release button is better placed and the low, wide pot is convenient for sautéing.

Has wasted six cartons of soy milk trying to make yogurt in their Instant Pot Rio, which their regular Instant Pot handles fine.
