Our Place Dream Cooker vs. Instant Pot Pro: How Do They Compare?

To see how the two very different products compare I prepared the same foods using like-to-like functions provided by the Our Place Dream Cooker and the Instant Pot Pro 6 Qt. Over the course of a week I made plain rice, chili with meat, beans, edamame, and bone broth to determine ease of use and how the final dishes tasted compared with the same dishes prepared in an Instant Pot. 

After tasting the dishes I prepared for this evaluation, I assessed both for ease of cleaning and whether the outside of the Dream Cooker stained easily, that’s an issue with the products that Our Place notes on its website: “The exterior coating on our nonstick products can stain, so we recommend safely wiping away any drips so they don’t burn onto the outside.” I can attest that wiping away spills quickly did the trick. But I also smeared some fatty marinara onto the outside and let it sit on the Dream Cooker for almost three hours. A quick wipe with warm water and a sponge removed it easily.
