Instant Pot® Viva 9-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, 6 Quart
Instant Pot® Viva 9-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker is the next evolution in the Duo Series, the #1 best-selling cooker in North America. It includes new features to continually support your fast-paced and healthy lifestyle.
The Viva 9-in-1 includes 3 new programs, Cake, Egg and Sterilize. The Cake Program has been designed to prepare soft and moist cakes, while, with the Egg Program you can prepare perfect eggs in just a few minutes. The Sterilize Program permits you to pasteurize milk, sterilize baby bottles, jars, and utensils.
Replacing 9 appliances in 1 – The Viva is a Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Sauté Pan, Rice/Porridge Cooker, Steamer, Yogurt Maker, Warmer, Cake Maker and Sterilizer.
Built with 15 Smart Programs: Soup/Broth, Meat/Stew, Bean/Chili, Cake, Egg, Slow Cook, Sauté, Rice, Multigrain, Porridge, Steam, Sterilize, Yogurt, Warm, and Pressure Cook. Your favorite dishes are as simple as pressing a button — once the Instant Pot® starts there is no need to watch it providing you with added time.
Designed to cater to varying tastes and dietary food conditions, the Smart Programs come with 3 settings, Less, Normal and More to achieve your desired cooking results; three temperatures in ‘Sauté’ for searing, simmering or thickening for a maximum time of 30 minutes, 3 temperatures in ‘Slow Cook’ to complete the work of a traditional slow cooker, and 3 temperatures in ‘Keep Warm’ to maintain food at different serving temperatures.
The 24-hour ‘Delay Start’ feature allows you to postpone the cooking start to have dinner ready when you are. And with the automatic ‘Keep Warm’ your meal holds its temperature until it is time to serve.
How It Works
The fully sealed environment traps the flavors, nutrients, and aromas of the food instead of releasing them throughout the home. Once steam pressure is built during pressure cooking, heat is distributed evenly, deeply and quickly. Minimal water is required for cooking, so vitamins and minerals are not leached or dissolved. As a result, greens retain their bright colors and phytonutrients, meats and bones are thoroughly cooked yet tender, and whole grains and beans are soft and supple, all with remarkable consistency.
The Instant Pot® Viva was developed with the latest 3rd generation microprocessor technology with an embedded microprocessor. During the cooking process, the microprocessor monitors the pressure and temperature, keeps time and adjusts heating intensity and duration. Even the volume of food is taken into consideration. The Smart Programs have been thoroughly tested to ensure you receive the optimal cooking results in improving the quality and consistency of your dishes.
Carefully designed to eliminate many common errors which may spoil food or cause harm, the Instant Pot® Viva has passed UL & ULC certification and is built with 10 Safety Mechanisms.

Safety
Instant Pot® has been carefully designed to eliminate many common errors from causing harm or spoiling food. It has passed the stringent UL & ULC certification giving you uncompromised safety and peace of mind. Instant Pot protects you with 10 proven safety mechanisms and patented technologies.
- Steam Release – Releases excess pressure by venting steam through the steam release valve/handle.
- Anti-Block Shield – A stainless steel cover which prevents food particles from entering the steam release pipe, reducing the risk of blockages.
- Safety Lid Lock – When cooker is pressurized, the lid will automatically lock to prevent opening the cooker. Do not attempt to force the lid open while the cooker is pressurized.
- Lid Position Detection – If the lid is not in a safe position for pressure cooking, the cooker will not allow cooking to begin.
- Automatic Temperature Control – Regulates heating to ensure the inner pot remains within a safe temperature range, based on the program.
- Overheat (Burn) Protection – Overheating may occur if:
• After Sautéing, inner pot has not been deglazed— food is stuck to the bottom
• The pressure cooker is being operated without sufficient cooking liquid
• The inner pot is not making full contact with the heating element
• The inner pot encounters a heat distribution issue, such as when starch accumulates on the bottom of the inner pot.
The cooker will reduce the risk of burning food by lowering the heat output. - Automatic Pressure Control – Maintains working pressure levels. Suspends heating if pressure exceeds pressure level limits.
- Electrical Fuse – Cuts off power if the electrical current exceeds safety limits.
- Thermal Fuse – Cuts off power if the internal temperature exceeds safety limits.
- Leaky Lid Detection – If there is steam leakage from the lid (such as, sealing ring not installed, or steam release handle being in “Venting” and not “Sealing” position) the cooker will not pressurize. Loss of steam may cause food to burn. The cooker monitors the pre-heating time and lowers heat output if working pressure is not reached within 40 minutes.
