Instant Pot Aura Multi-cooker

No, the Aura is a multi-cooker designed for slow cooking, roasting, baking, and steaming, but it does not have pressure cooking capabilities. It is best suited for traditional slow-cooking methods and one-pot meals rather than high-pressure recipes.

Yes, the Aura features a dedicated searing and sautéing function. This allows you to brown your meat or soften vegetables directly in the ceramic-coated aluminum insert before switching to your slow-cooking program.

Yes, the non-stick aluminum insert is dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. We recommend hand-washing occasionally to help preserve the longevity of the non-stick coating.

The Aura includes a 24-hour delay-start timer that lets you program when the cooking cycle begins. This is ideal for prepping ingredients in the morning so your meal is ready exactly when you return home in the evening.

The Aura has a 6-quart capacity, which is generally sufficient for feeding 4 to 6 people. Its oval shape is particularly helpful for accommodating larger cuts of meat, like a whole chicken or a roast, that might not fit as easily in a round pot.

Yes, once the cooking cycle finishes, the Aura automatically switches to a keep-warm function. This maintains your food at an ideal serving temperature until you are ready to eat.
