Pigeon Super Cooker 3.2-Quart
Score: 74/100
Instant Pot RIO Mini
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Instant Pot RIO Mini is a compact 4-quart electric pressure cooker offering seven functions and fast 800-W heating. Its small capacity and a manual error requirement limit suitability for larger batches. Best for singles, couples, or small families needing space-saving versatility.
The Pigeon 3-liter All-In-One Super Cooker combines pressure cooking, steaming, deep-frying and more in a hard-anodized aluminum pot with three interchangeable lids. Although versatile and backed by a five-year warranty, it lacks independent performance testing and detailed specs. Suited for small-to-medium families wanting multi-functionality on gas or induction.
