he Instant Pot Max cooks faster due to its higher pressure. It also supports different touchscreen controls.

The newest Instant Pot in town promises to cook food faster and give you more options than other models of the most popular electric pressure cooker.

The Instant Pot Max was on display on Saturday at the International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago.

It’s a 6-quart (5.6-liter) electric pressure cooker with its pressure up to a full 15 pounds per square inch (psi), an ability (Other Instant Pot models have at most 12 psi maximum.)

The higher pressure means that the Instant Pot Max should cook ingredients up to 15 percent faster than the other quickest appliances do today. The higher pressure will also let you use the Instant Pot Max for home canning, the company said.

Instant Pot representatives said the Instant Pot Max will be able to hold its pressure at a high level continually, as opposed to it’s electric models, whose levels are known to fluctuate.

Another new feature for the Instant Pot Max is the ability to sous vide; a type of cooking in which food is placed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and then placed in a water bath or steam environment.

An Instant Pot rep said later versions of the Max will have a sous vide setting that will heat water to a specific temperature for sous vide, but it hasn’t yet been made clear whether the first version of the Max will include it.

The Instant Pot Max’s other features include a slick touchscreen display, updated controls with LED labels and a central control dial you can use to navigate through the Max’s menu option

Beside canning, other cooking options on the Instant Pot Max include manual pressure cook, sauté or brown, steam, slow cook, soup or broth and yogurt. You can also change how these presets handle food. For instance, you can adjust pressure and temperature.

The most interesting feature is the new automatic pressure-venting function. With the new Instant Pots, you can wait for a natural release or manually open the steam valve. With the Max, you can program it to release its pressure quickly, slowly or pulse for moderate speed.

It also features a planned agitation feature that will stir food.
