CHEF iQ Smart Pressure Cooker with WiFi and Built-in Scale - Easy-to-Use 10-in-1 Multicooker with 500+ Guided Recipes - Rice Cooker, Slow Cooker, Instant Meals for Foodies - 6 Quart - Family Size

We purchased our Chef IQ during the pandemic (2021), after our barely 1.5 year old Instant Pot we'd received as a wedding gift died--we were just barely out of warranty and they had zero interest in helping. We have used it a minimum of once a week ever since. It's easy to use, size is great, cleans up well, cooks perfectly, and we've used it on multiple settings - high and low pressure, all 3 release settings, slow cooker, sear/saute, and recently the sous vide mode. I've done everything from a whole chicken, soups and chilis, pulled pork, sous vide steak, and more. We've been in need of a new inside liner pot of awhile, and I kept watching their website and Amazon for replacement ones to become available, but I kept missing them so this past October (2025) I decided to email their customer service and ask when they would be in stock. Ours was so scratched at this point that it was unsafe to use and we needed a replacement, or needed to replace the entire machine. Ana at Chef IQ support asked me for a couple of photos, and just sent us a whole new pot! I was blown away, and it arrived quickly. Just after the new year, the whole thing just...stopped working. So here I am emailing Ana, again, asking her how to fix it or if there's a part I can buy (I'm decently handy). She asked me for a brief video of it plugged into the same outlet as another appliance that worked, to show it was non functional. I just received a notice that I have A WHOLE NEW APPLIANCE on its way! I'm stunned. I don't remember the last time I've had any type of customer service support actually fully support their customers to this level, especially in this world of planned obsolescence of appliances and devices. Thank you Ana, and thank you Chef IQ! You have a customer for life. Husband's birthday's coming up and he's been eyeing your thermometers...

This thing is worth every penny. Every once in a while it gets de-synced from the app but that is literally the only problem I have had so far. Other than that, this thing is perfect. It's designed so you have minimal dishes, every dish comes out perfect, there is tons and tons of recipes, it walks you through every step. If you're like me and enjoy cooking from time to time, but 80% of the time decide "meh, it's too much work", then you will love this thing. It even sends you notifications when it's time for the next step. 30 minutes of basically no work and 1 rinse of a dish later, and you have food for 3 days. Absolutely incredible.

I've been cooking dinner for more than 50 years. I'm at the age where I don't like to try new recipes because it's too much mental strain on me to find a recipe, read through it, then follow it step by step. I never thought I'd say this, but it's too much work mentally, and it's too much physical strain to stand at a stove, so I stick to simple cooking at my age. Then I needed a new pressure cooker, came to Amazon to find one and came across this gem. It looked easy enough for me to understand, it was digital, and the reviews were great, so I took a chance and paid twice the amount I would have paid for a regular stove top pressure cooker pan that only is used to pressure cook. I'm glad I took the chance!!! This Chef iQ is like having your own personal chef standing next to you telling you step by step how to make amazing meals! It has made cooking fun and easy again! The app has many different recipes, including beef and barley soup which I have been wanting to make for years but have no desire to stand at a stove cooking...now I can have my Chef iQ tell me step by step what to add, and the best part is thr scale. It weighs the amount of water you put in, it weighs the meat (no more digging through the garbage to see if it was 2 pounds roast or a 3 pound roast) it weighs it for you! A dinner that would have taken me hours, and dirtied many dishes and pans, is now made in one pot and it does everything for you! It took 30 minutes to pressure cook 5 pounds of roast. When it was done I pulled it apart some of them and added some BBQ sauce and we had pulled beef sandwiches, then saved the rest for dinner, again using the insta pot to steam veggies to add to the beef to make a stew. It took less than an hour to make 2 meals! Washing the unit is simple, just make sure you remove the gasket ring and wash under it, then replace it. This unit has made 2 elderly people become instant chefs! My husband can't stand for long and for years had to give up making his famous rice and beans. I came back from walking the dog to find a plate of freshly made rice and beans waiting for me, and a husband with a smile so big because he was able to cook again! This pot gave us more than easy and amazing meals, it gave us back the pride and confidence that we can once again make difficult recipes that used to require standing at the stove all day and using and washing many pans, it's given us more time together and has truly made life easier for both of us! I highly recommend this product for everyone! It would have been amazing to have this unit when I was in college, to be able to cook full meals in one pot without knowing how to cook would have been so great as a college student living in a dorm! This makes a great wedding gift, housewarming gift, college student gift, and just a great gift for everyone you love and want to make their life easier!

Was shocked at how small this was. I am replacing my 2nd generation June oven which I love, and which still works fine and looks new, because that one is like 7 or 8 years old now. They fail, and not many gen 2's that I know are still going, so this was the one I selected to buy while it was on a good sale, so I could swap out my June oven before it broke and I'd have to buy whatever was available. I knew it was smaller but it's shocking, visually, just HOW MUCH smaller it is. Fortunately it comes with its own pans since the June ones wouldn't fit. Not pleased with the huge blocks of Styrofoam. And how, even with the IQ oven secured INSIDE of a plastic bag, did a bunch of small Styrofoam bits get stuck all over it, including on the venting on the side. I vacuumed out what I could but I'm sure there's a bit still in there that I'm going to smell when I fire it up the first time. And the tape they used to hold the door open in four different spots left a good bit of itself on the glass front, and needed to be cleaned off. At least the tape was sticky enough to pull its own leftover pieces off by simply pressing it on them and pulling away multiple times. Even had bits of Styrofoam INSIDE the door? If it wasn't so clean otherwise I'd assume this had been a return they sold as new. Setup was quick and easy, the display gives a QR code to get the app on the phone. Then pairing was simple and quick, and a firmware update prompted when done. After that, I was set to try it out. Wasn't going to cook anything yet, but wanted to see how it did getting to temp. One reason I got it before my June died is that it bragged about being faster to get to temp. So I turned it on, set it to 350, and was disappointed in the fan noise. This thing is annoyingly loud for such a little thing. And it's not just during certain parts - it was on and loud the entire time. The smell - maybe there were still pieces of Styrofoam inside, or it may have been the common thing of protective coatings and such burning off, but this thing had a nasty smell while I simply let it get up to 350 degrees before I turned it back off again. My Dyson and Levoit air purifiers had a field day clearing out the smell and the pollutants. Fortunately there were only certain things I used the June oven for, so I won't have to listen to this annoyingly loud fan very often. I also ordered the wireless thermometer, although I have three others already. I wanted the branded one so that it can actually be recognized by the oven and help it adjust cooking appropriately. Chicken breasts, French bread pizza, and frozen fries are what I mostly used the June for. I can see I'll have to do smaller batches of fries, since this is not big enough for what I'm used to, a 12x16 pan. I guess if I have to do something larger than the small 9x13 pan it comes with, I can just use my normal oven. What is going to hurt is I won't be able to fit four French bread pizzas in here at once, due to the narrowness. Even in the June's 16" wide pan I was pretty much right near the edges. I knew the smaller size going into this, so I had accepted that fact already when I added it to my cart. The door - At first I was worried something was still taped shut, but then I remembered the slow close feature, and apparently that's a slow open feature as well. I do like this though, having it never slam no matter when I let go of the handle. And the view is fine, although my June had a great view inside as well. But one place this will excel is cleaning - June ovens are notorious for being a pain, due to the elements they use. VERY fragile, and easy to break. The pull out sliding rack is nicely deigned, but ultimately not necessary, especially with the smaller size pans this uses. It's easier to pick up the try from the standard non sliding rack than it is to pull it out and then lift off the tray. About the only thing I could see this being useful for is if you have something that needs to be flipped half way through or something - this WOULD make that easier then. The air fryer rack is ridiculously shallow. I don't air fry things though so not a big deal for me. The non stick pans are handy. I'm really curious to test this out as I've never baked eggs before, and I'd like to see how the various egg recipes turn out. So I set up the guided cook option, selected eggs. I kind of scrambled them in the pan with a dull plastic object since I only do over easy if I have toast to use for the yolk, and figured I would mix it up a bit in each of the four spots I put eggs in, and set it to over hard so it was a bit like an omelet or something. Again, even with this setting the fan on low, it's annoyingly loud. And I got my first lesson - don't insert food until it tells you to. So I kept an eye on them and pulled them out early to compensate for the extra cook time they had. And it was pretty gross as far as texture went. Like a hardened skin over soft eggs. Tried it again later that morning with the default setting for over easy but I still broke my yolks. And again, that same weird almost skin on them. Yeah, will never be using this oven for eggs. At least the more I use it the more that gross smell from whatever protective spray that is baking off is fading. Another annoyance - when you're done, it apparently requires you to press the HOME button - the other options are "keep backing" or "keep warm." If you just pull out the food and don't TELL it to keep warm or keep baking, you'd expect it would KNOW this, and simply turn off. Nope, it keeps that question on the screen and the interior light on regardless, until you manually press the home button again. Seriously, this is a product with "IQ" in the name? I like the guided LED's for which level a rack should be inserted when you're following its instructions. I also like that it can be set for a 24 hour clock. Bottom line is there is so much that just is subpar on this thing that I'm glad I got it on sale. Had I paid full price, I would have felt taken advantage of and returned it. For me, since I only used my June for a few specific things, and I can at least make do with this, I'll keep it. Made fries. Noted my phone has given me NO notifications - yet all notifications are enabled for the Chef IQ app. And midway though I opened the app to see if it would help - and now the oven shows offline, not connected, yet every single other item in the kitchen is connected just fine - Anova, stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, plugs for other things like game controller chargers... But this oven is conveniently offline while cooking without any warning on the unit when I set up the cook. Fries turned out good though. And subsequent nights when I tried to use this for things - at least those times it was online. But unless the app was open, no notifications. June would send notifications whether or not the app was open. Again, a disappointment for something with IQ in its name. Every time I turn around it shows me that it's not very smart. The programmed chicken breast setting - it tries to stop cooking when the chicken only hit 138 degrees? Seriously? So I had to override it and keep it cooking. I'm glad I had the wireless thermometer in there. I had to extend it another 5 minutes to get the internal temp to a safe temp. If this is how pointless the temps are, why bother making a thermometer that can pair with the oven when it ignores safe food temp guidelines? And after a week, still not a SINGLE notification despite the app having asked to allow notifications when installed, and me verifying notifications are still enabled on my iPhone. So between this and their wireless thermometer, I definitely overpaid for something that just isn't nearly as good as the June oven it was replacing. But it will at least suffice for the little bit of things I use it for. But I could have had the same functionality from another product at a quarter of the price.

I used this for the first time last night making some chicken parmesan. Came out to perfection! Using the Chef IQ wireless probe (sold separately) which connects to the oven, made come out to perfection. This comes with an egg tray. Used it to make eggs for the family and they came out perfect. Made toast also. Clean up was a breeze. The pans are nonstick so I took a chance and used no butter or oil. Nothing stuck to them. Healthy way of cooking I guess. With the touchscreen it takes the guess work out of cooking. I would also get the Chef IQ wireless temperature probe (sold separately) which automatically pairs with the oven. This oven is definitely a game changer. If you’re not a great cook, you will be after using this oven. There are so many options no matter weather it’s chicken, beef or fish. It will come out to perfection. It your looking for a fantastic oven that does an awesome job and doesn’t take up a lot of countertop space, then the Chef IQ Mini Oven is definitely the one to get. It’s a do all oven. Air fryer, bake, broiler, slow cooker, etc. we are a family of four and this does more then enough. Cooks fast. I would definitely recommend getting this. Well worth the money. Works fantastic!

I’ve had this pressure cooker for about a year and it is amazing. My favorite features are: Automatic steam release. Who hasn’t been shy about releasing pressure from a cooker? The sound alone used to make me jump, even if I knew it was not going to burn me because the valve was pointed in the opposite direction. Now I just sit in the living room and listen for the appliance to release in the manner I asked it to. Ahhhhh. It does instant, intermittent and natural releases. Truly my favorite feature. Step by step instructions. Now, I don’t really need these, but it is so much fun to choose a recipe and have the app tell you what to do. Need to add a cup of water? Sure, you can add a cup of water after measuring it. But it’s so cool to see the scale tell you EXACTLY when you’ve added the right amount. I can imagine a person who has never cooked anything would love the step by step instructions even more than I do. Next, I love the app. “When will dinner be ready?” Um…. (Open app) “13 minutes and 11 seconds.” I’ll bet you can’t be that precise unless you’re using this awesome app! By the way, even if you aren’t using the pre-programmed recipes, the app still shows you what’s going on and allows you to make changes. I love being able to do almost everything in one pan. Want spaghetti? Brown the meat, sauté the vegetables, add the dry pasta and water, and it’s ready in literally a few minutes. One pot. There is no guesswork in timing. Tonight I selected sous vide, pork, pork chops, one in thick. It set the temp and time automatically and automatically selected sear when finished. This works for whatever feature and ingredient you are cooking. Sooooo many cook functions. Slow cooker, pressure cooker, sous vide, sauté, and the list goes on and on. The only feature that I wish was better is on the app. I wish there were two ways you could save recipes. Right now you can click the heart on a recipe to mark it as a favorite. I would like to see a way to add a folder for “want to try” or something similar. I look at recipes in the app and don’t know yet if they will be a favorite but definitely am interested in trying them. They all get lumped together in one folder which can be inconvenient if you use the cooker and app as much as I do. I did send a request to the company but I don’t know if it’s scheduled for an update in the future or not. I hope this helps if you’re trying to justify the investment. There is a little bit of a learning curve, but if you use a tablet or smart anything I don’t think you’ll have a problem. Bottom line? Just buy it!

Works great, easy to use. My only complaint is that the app is a bit clunky and not intuitive to use. I've made 4 meals in it so far, and they all came out excellent.

I usually do not write reviews, however will post one about this pressure cooker. I use pressure cookers for many years and have a pretty good handle of it. When the electric ones came, I just admired them but never bought one....why? I have my old faithful one and it works perfectly. Then when i was visiting family and helping in the kitchen, the only pressure cooker they had was one of these "self" contained with sort of types of food to cook and timer all built in. Have to say i was surprised by how they worked, but again did not buy one. Fast forward the rubber gasket on mine ( 20 years old one ) was cracking. After seeing a lot of videos and reading about this one I said to myself, go ahead, be adventurous, i sort of like gadgets anyways. So i purchased and have used. For those that cook, like me, this pressure cooker does an excellent job. I of course for the fun of it, tried "go along" recipe, one that is on the phone w video and at the same time was adding and cooking. It was fun, sort of for people that have no clue how to cook nevertheless i followed it and it turned out really good, surprised. It has a lot of recipes, ( not all my taste but hey...) so it is a nice feature. The self releasing pressure is excellent. Having the timer and status on the phone made me not have to get up ( well i need the exercise but hey...it was cool ) Then of course what i was afraid was to just try my own recipe and cooking. Which I did and again, it did a superb job. I thought that was going to be too complicate to use manually, but the truth it is not, as a matter of fact is pretty self explanatory, just look at the panel and follow it. Btw the set up was not hard at all...if you have a cell phone , you can do it....So if you are in the market to buy a pressure cooker, been a cook or not been one, this one should be considered. I am keeping it for sure. The only thing, at least at this time, that I wish it had was the stainless steel pot inside but this is not a deal breaker. Also apparently for those that need guidance and recipes, the app keeps adding more recipes as time goes by. I hope now that this one will last a long long time.
