we were rooting for you instead of hot max we were all rooting for you the $200 instant pot Max was supposed to do more than older models along with being able to cook faster thanks to more pressure the max also has new features like the ability to sous-vide and pan food is impressive at first glance it has easy to use touchscreen controls and an automatic steam valve that adjusts to your preferred method of steam release which is a first for instant pot it was helpful and canning fruit and the inner pipe gets nice and hot when you have to saute vegetables or cooked meat unfortunately many of the new showing features on the max didn't live up to our expectations basic dishes like beans and rice took just as long or longer to cook in the max as we've seen with previous things to pop models that's especially disappointing considering that one of the biggest selling points of the max is faster cook times and the sous-vide setting was a huge letdown this method of cooking food in a water bath is all about precision and that's exactly what the Max didn't have temperatures inside the pot were about 20 degrees less than what it read on the control panel which resulted in some undercooked food and there were minor annoyances that made us wish for an older instant pot model there aren't any preset modes for beans or chili nor are there water volume labels on the inner cooking pot but when you make rice and the max cost twice as much as other models overall the max does it match the performance of its predecessors if you're interested in the pot after one of the older models
