This is probably the best electrical pressure cooker out there. Compared with the instant pot, its additional feature/advantage is the automatic timed steam release.
The only issue with this pot, and the reason I returned it and bought an Instant Pot Pro instead, is the non stick ceramic coating inside, which although not such a bad thing (it has its advantages) the fact that it is impossible to buy a replacement when this gets scratched (and it will eventually) it will make it unusable. I wouldn’t mind this non stick at all if they actually sold the replacement. I found out it’s “sold out” for years and give them option to get notified when available, but it’s been years. And other pots from other manufacturers don’t fit. At first I decided to go with it despite that, but I barely touched the edge were the coating ends, with a spoon, lightly, and scratched it easily. It’s to expensive if no replacement available. My assumption is the manufacturer discontinued this awesome product, therefore no support for parts, because of the bigger success of the more affordable instant pot. I wish Instant Pot would get that feature of timed release the Breville has which also has 3 options, continuous, pulsed, or the natural cooled.
This would have been the best ever. Pity

Update to the update, 3/1/17
I made contact with Breville’s Support department on 2/21. They were very professional and promptly emailed a prepaid return label for the defective unit. They received the return from me on 2/23. I am promised a new replacement unit. I’m hesitant about accepting another of the same unit, especially since I’m told it would only be warranted for the amount of time equal to the time remaining on my original purchase. That means I have only a 4 month warranty on the replacement when the original went out on me during the 8th month of ownership. That’s rather disturbing considering the original cost of this item with tax was in excess of $270. I may have to seek out an extended warranty somewhere.
Updated 2/20/17
Well, it has died on me during month 8. It powers on but will not heat up at all. It’s staying in the preheating mode for a very long time, and even when the programming switches to the preset cooking mode, it hasn’t heated whatsoever and no pressure. I made sure the plug was in firmly and even switched outlets and the inner pot in case there wasn’t proper electrical contact with the outer coating washing off the old pot. New vs. old inner pot made no difference.
Yes, I loved this appliance so much that I got an extra pot for it. I noticed that even though it says the inner pot is dishwasher-safe, the outer coating of paint (not the nonstick interior) starts to wash off. I’ve had a lot of gray substance all over my hands from this over a period of time. I don’t believe it should be listed as a dishwasher-safe inner pot. I haven’t had any problems with the inner nonstick coating of any kind. No bubbles forming, no peeling, just a problem with the exterior of the pot.
It is too late today to contact the manufacturer for warranty service, but you can bet I’ll be on the phone first thing tomorrow morning.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
First, I’d like to point out this very important feature that I don’t believe is listed in the item description, and that is:
This appliance has many pre-programmed settings, however, they will not be accurate unless your residence is right at or around
sea-level like my former home. My current home’s elevation is at about 2180 ft. Please refer to the manual which explains how to make the simple adjustment-a one-time change that will correct all settings based on your elevation. Even if unplugged, the adjustment will not revert to the factory setting unless you program it to do so. Try to find that feature on any other electric pressure cooker!
Just for clarification: This is listed as a 6 qt. appliance, however, the usable capacity is 4.5 qts. You will find it listed as one of those two on various websites. It would be nice if all websites explained this so that folks that see the 4.5 qt. description won’t think the usable capacity is less than that.
I’ve had my share of pressure cookers over the decades. The early electrics had a removable corded rotary thermostat with a temperature probe that heated the unit. The only way to test the accuracy was to set it to what appeared on the dial to be 212 degrees to see if water boiled. It was never truly accurate, but close. Once liquids no longer boiled at that setting, it was time to buy a new thermostat.
I still own 2 stovetop stainless steel interior/exterior pressure cookers. They’ll last forever and replacement parts are readily available.
Unfortunately, with stovetops I have to stay awake and alert-no taking a nap while those are being used! Yes, I’m old. I’m liable to fall asleep at the drop of a hat waiting for some of my long cooking items to get done.
I’ve tried other electric pressure cookers, including the “Instant Pot”, and a couple sold on TV shopping channels. Some I found to be cheaply made and unreliable. They either contained cheap nonstick coatings or not even close to accurate temperature settings. The “Instant Pot” is the only other electric pressure cooker I’ve kept.
So far, this fully-electronic model is wonderful compared to all of the others, new or vintage. I really love the “Reduction” setting. I like the fact that not only does it have many pre-programmed settings for common uses, but even the preset times can be overridden. I love that I don’t have to constantly watch it because it turns itself off when the cycle has completed. Yes, that means while it’s cooking, I get to take a nap without worrying that it will run dry, burn everything, and fill my house with smoke!
The ceramic-coated nonstick removable inner pot shows no sign of blistering or peeling, unlike the overrated, overpriced All Clad Gourmet Slow Cooker with Browning. Beautiful to look at, but that’s where it ends.
My biggest concerns would be finding replacement parts down the line. It seems these higher-end products’ parts aren’t around indefinitely. The other worry would be failure of the screen. Sometimes modern technology won’t hold up very long, especially where electronics come into play.
You can easily tell the higher quality of this appliance over many of the cheapie models on the market. I expect I will get my money’s worth out of it even if I don’t get 20 years out of it! It’s truly worth the extra expense, and the learning curve is shorter than I anticipated. I’m overall very pleased with this purchase, as well as my other Breville electric appliances.
I really hope that some day someone, preferably Breville, will invent an oval-shaped pressure cooker at least 6-8 quarts in size.
I’ve seen many oval slow cookers, many round pressure cookers, but never an oval pressure cooker. It would be a vast improvement and allow the cooker even more versatility.

I own other Breville products (juicer, toast) and appreciate their quality. The Fast Slow Pro is built in the same high quality manner. It was a little bit of a gamble to spend over 2x more than the other popular pressure cooker, Instant Pot, but I figured the combined benefits of improved controls (simplified), and build quality would make it worth it. Also, the other thing that allowed me to justify the price is that the Breville will replace our slow cooker and rice cooker in our limited cabinet space. Yes, I could have saved money of the cheaper Instant Pot but my thinking is if the Breville is doing the job of other appliances then it worth spending money on a better quality product that’s easier to use.
With all that said, after cooking a few different things I couldn’t be happier. The Breville is a smart device that serves multiple purposes. So far I’ve made; brown rice, braised short ribs with vegetables, pulled pork with green chile sauce, and baked beans. Below is a breakdown of likes and dislikes.
Likes:
• Has multiple modes. In addition to pressure cooking you can steam, slow cook, simmer, saute, keep warm, and a few more things. Of course, if you read the in depth review of pressure cookers on the Serious Eats site, you’ll learn that pressure cooking has bennefits (higher temp) over slow cooking, making slow cooking (in my mind) an unnecessary method moving forward.
• Since you can saute in the Breville, you don’t need to use a different pan for this. I’ve sauted vegetables and meats. Just keep in mind you won’t have the contact area trying to saute something larger like a chicken. In this case a seperate pan may be better.
• I love that the cord is detachable and you can put it in the Breville (along with the steamer basket) for storage. Means you don’t have a chord getting caught up with other things in your cabinet (even though I wrap up my chords with velcro).
• The controls and interface are very intuitive. For my first recipe (brown rice with onion, garlic and ginger) it took me a few seconds to figure out how to saute the veggies, and switch over to pressure cooking. There’s a number of default settings (Soup, Beans, Meat, Chile, Rice, Risotto, etc…) that make the settings for you. From there you can tweak the pre-defined settings (time, pressure, steam release method).
• The decrease in time it takes when pressure cooking means there’s things you can make during a weekday you may not have had time for before. Of course, you need to factor preheat and steam release time (see Dislikes).
• If your concerned with the scary-factor of pressure cooking, no need to be. It appears that the lid has triple redundancy (three spring loaded air locks).
• The non-stick pot. This has been easy to clean so far. Some people wish it was stainless steel, which I understand. While non-stick usually doesn’t last as long as ss, the only way to know for sure is time. If I get 10 years of use, and get get a replacement pot, then not an issue. Hopefully Breville will sell these.
Dislikes:
• The lid has retained a little food odor. I took the silicone ring off to clean it, but the minor odor is still there.
• Speaking of the ring, its a little bit of a pain to remove. However, you don’t have to clean it everytime since the ring is a little loose and its easy to get soapy water behind it.
• I hesitate in getting the Breville when I read you need to remove a nut to take the lid off for cleaning. While this sounds a little odd, in reality its no big deal and takes a few seconds.
• You need to factor preheating and steam release time into the complete cycle. So, when a recipe says it will take 45 minutes for a roast, you should factor time to saute, preheat, and steam release. Just something to keep in mind. This isn’t a Breville issue, just the reality of pressure cooking (it takes time to cook the liquids to steaming, so pressure is created). Tip; if you saute and pre-heat your liquids (stovetop for example) the preheating cycle will shorten.
• Price. While it is more than other products, considering the technical nature and build quality of the Breville I’m glad I spent the money. I do think if Breville priced these in the $199 range it would be an easier buy for people than the mid $200 range.
I’ve included a few pictures that show; what comes in the box including the user guide and a very nicely done recipe book, the nut for the lid, some photos of the recipe book, how everything fits in the Breville for storage, and what the non-stick pot looks like.
While there’s a few dislikes above, I’m fine with them and understand that every form of cooking and appliance for that matter has trade-offs. At the end of the day the benefits of the Breville far outweigh the trade-offs.
