Is the 6QT Instant Pot Pro no longer available?

This site has not compared the 6QT Instant Pot Pro, so it cannot say whether that model is still available. No Instant Pot appears on any of our guides, and we have not published a figure or an availability note for the 6QT Pro.

What follows is what the makers of the pots we do cover publish about capacity, size and materials, so you can judge a replacement on stated figures rather than on a listing that may or may not still be live.

Why this page cannot answer the availability question

Availability is a question about a retailer’s stock and a maker’s catalog, and neither is something this site tracks. Our guides compare pots on the figures their makers publish, and the 6QT Instant Pot Pro is not one of the picks in any of them. Nobody at Lush has used that appliance, opened its box or checked a listing for it.

If you are trying to find out whether a specific model is discontinued, the reliable sources are the maker’s own product page and the retailer you would buy from. A comparison site that has not covered the model has nothing to add, and inventing an answer would be worse than saying so plainly.

Capacity figures the makers do publish

Capacity is the figure most people use to replace a 6 quart appliance, and the pots we cover state theirs in quarts. The Best Pasta Pots for Draining Without a Colander guide lists the Cuisinart 766S-22 at 6.3 quarts, the Cooler Concepts pasta pot at 5.5 quarts, the Bialetti oval at 5.5 quarts, the Oster Sangerfield set at 5 quarts and the Gotham Steel pot at 5 quarts.

In the Best Stackable Pots for Small Kitchens and RVs guide, the Granitestone set includes 5 quart, 3 quart and 1.5 quart pots with lids, and the Carote 19 piece set lists a 1.5 quart saucepan, a 3 quart saucepan and a 4 quart saute pan. The GreenLife set lists 1.58 quart, 2.32 quart and 3.17 quart saucepans.

None of these is a pressure cooker, and none is an Instant Pot. They are stovetop pots, so a quart of capacity does not translate directly from one kind of appliance to another. The figure is still the one the maker publishes, and it is the only capacity figure we can quote.

Footprint and height, as stated

Counter and cabinet space often decides a replacement, and the makers publish outside dimensions for several picks. The Cuisinart pasta pot measures 7.28 inches wide, 11.81 inches deep and 9.65 inches high. The Oster Sangerfield pasta pot set measures 11 inches long, 8.5 inches wide and 10.5 inches high, and the maker states a weight of 3.6 lbs.

The Cooler Concepts pot is listed at 9.45 inches wide, 6.3 inches deep and 10.63 inches high, and its feature text describes it as 9 inches tall and 6.5 inches across. The Gotham Steel pot is listed at 9.45 inches wide, 13.15 inches deep and 7.15 inches high. The Bialetti oval is listed at 9.5 inches wide, 16.25 inches deep and 7.75 inches high.

Stackable sets publish less. The GreenLife 10 piece set has no width, depth or height listed, only a weight of 15.55 lbs. The Redchef 5 piece set lists no dimensions and a weight of 5.84 lbs. Where a maker publishes nothing, we write that rather than estimate.

Materials and stovetop compatibility

If the appliance you are replacing sat on a counter, the pot you buy instead has to suit your stove. The Cuisinart, Cooler Concepts and Oster pasta pots are stainless steel. The Bialetti oval is aluminum with a PFOA-free nonstick interior. The Gotham Steel pot is aluminum with a ceramic coating the maker describes as free of PFOA, PFOS, lead and cadmium.

Induction compatibility is stated unevenly. The Cooler Concepts pot is described as induction ready. The Oster Sangerfield pasta pot set is described as compatible with gas, electric and ceramic stovetops and not compatible with induction. The Gotham Steel pot is described as suited to gas, electric, ceramic and halogen, and not designed for induction.

The Best Steamer Pots for One Person or a Whole Family guide gives more induction detail. The Lolykitch 5 quart pot, the Kirecoo 3.2 quart pot, the Sunhouse 3 quart pot and the Ohtomber 1.5 quart saucepan are all described as compatible with induction, gas, electric and ceramic. The Oster 3 quart Dutch oven with steamer basket does not make that claim in its published features.

Pots that do appear on our guides

The Best Moka Pots for Stovetop and Electric Brewing guide covers coffee makers rather than cookers, but it shows how differently makers state size. The Bialetti Moka Express is a 3 cup pot listed at 5.6 inches wide, 4 inches deep and 6.7 inches high, weighing 1.05 lbs. The Easyworkz Diego is listed at 5.9 inches wide, 4.13 inches deep and 8.46 inches high, weighing 2 lbs.

Among steamer pots, the Lolykitch 5 quart pot measures 8.7 inches wide, 8.7 inches deep and 7.7 inches high and weighs 5.8 lbs. The Sunhouse 3 quart pot measures 9.25 inches wide, 11.22 inches deep and 6.69 inches high and weighs 3.5 lbs. The Oster 3 quart Dutch oven measures 8.5 inches wide, 8.5 inches deep and 6.2 inches high and weighs 3.2 lbs.

These are the products this site has compared, and their figures are the ones we can quote. A shopper replacing a counter appliance with a stovetop pot should read the capacity and the stovetop compatibility line together, because a pot that suits your burners but not your batch size is no better than one that suits neither.

What to check before you decide

Start with the maker’s own page for the 6QT Instant Pot Pro. That is where a discontinued model is marked, and it is the only place a current specification would be published. This site has not compared the appliance and holds no figure for it, so any number we printed here would be invented.

Then decide what the replacement has to do. If you need a specific capacity, compare the quart figures above. If you need a specific footprint, compare the width, depth and height. If you need induction, check that the maker states it, because several pots on our guides are explicitly described as not for induction.

Where a maker publishes nothing about a dimension, treat that as unknown rather than as average. The GreenLife, Redchef, Carote and Astercook sets in the stackable guide list no width, depth or height at all, and the Granitestone set lists 35 inches wide, 27 inches deep and 16 inches high without a weight. Those gaps are worth knowing before you order.
