Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker

B
PFR Grade
Good — mostly plastic-free with minor concerns
The stainless steel inner pot is safe and PFAS-free. However, the sealing ring is made of silicone and the lid contains plastic components. The overall design is safer than non-stick alternatives.
PFR Recommended

Moderate Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Non-stick cookware coated with PTFE (Teflon) or other PFAS compounds releases toxic particles and gases when overheated or scratched. These 'forever chemicals' accumulate in the body and have been linked to thyroid disease, cancer, and immune dysfunction. Every meal cooked in a scratched non-stick pan is a potential exposure event.

Why We Recommend This Product

The Instant Pot's stainless steel inner pot is genuinely safe — no PFAS, no non-stick coatings. The silicone sealing ring is food-grade. The plastic outer housing and lid components are not in contact with food during cooking.
