The Fast Slow Pro removes the need to choose between pressure cooking speed and slow cooking flavour by automatically adjusting between both based on what you're cooking. Dual sensors monitor temperature and pressure continuously, so the machine knows whether to use pressure for tough cuts or slow cooking for delicate ingredients. One-press functionality handles timing and temperature automatically, whilst hands-free auto steam release keeps you safe from scalding. You can reduce, sauté, and sear directly in the ceramic bowl before cooking, and the full-feedback LCD display shows exactly what's happening inside.
- Dual sensors with automatic mode adjustment: Top and bottom sensors monitor temperature and pressure continuously, automatically adjusting between fast and slow cooking to extract maximum flavour and texture from ingredients.
- One-press functionality: Select your dish and the cooker handles timing, temperature, and pressure automatically, eliminating guesswork and removing the need for manual adjustments.
- Hands-free auto steam release: Automatically selects quick, pulse, or natural release based on what's cooking, keeping your hands safe from scalding steam whilst optimising results.
- Reduce, sauté, and sear functions: Brown meat and vegetables directly in the ceramic bowl to intensify flavours before pressure cooking or slow cooking, eliminating the need for separate pans.
- Ceramic-coated cooking bowl and removable lid: Naturally PFOA and PTFE free ceramic coating doubles as a serving bowl, with dishwasher-safe removable lid and easy-fitting silicone seal for simple cleaning.
What Customers Ask About This Product
Does the auto mode adjustment really work, or do you still need to choose pressure or slow?
It genuinely works automatically. The dual sensors monitor what you're cooking and adjust the machine's approach in real time. For tough cuts of meat, it uses pressure to tenderise. For delicate ingredients, it switches to slow cooking. You press once and the cooker figures out the best method.
Is the hands-free steam release actually safer than traditional pressure cookers?
Yes. Traditional pressure cookers require you to carefully release steam manually, which risks scalding your hands if you're not precise. The hands-free auto release eliminates this entirely. The machine chooses the release method automatically based on what's inside, so safety is built into the process.
Why does the ceramic bowl matter compared to standard stainless steel?
Ceramic is naturally PFOA and PTFE free, whereas some non-stick coatings contain these chemicals that can leach at high heat. Ceramic also doesn't require seasoning and resists staining. It doubles as a serving bowl, so you can cook and serve in the same vessel without transferring.
Is the auto keep-warm function actually useful after cooking?
Yes. After your food finishes cooking, the cooker automatically keeps it warm without further cooking it, so it's ready to serve whenever you're ready to eat. For families where people eat at different times, this removes the need to reheat later.
In our experience...
Dual sensors enable genuine automatic adjustment that single sensors cannot match. A single sensor at the top monitors overall conditions. Top and bottom sensors monitor temperature gradients and pressure zones separately, so the machine understands whether you're cooking a tough roast or delicate fish. That dual understanding enables real automatic adjustment.
Hands-free steam release actually removes a genuine safety hazard from pressure cooking. Manual steam release requires careful hand positioning to avoid scalding. One wrong move and you get burned. Auto release eliminates this hazard entirely. For households with children or anyone nervous about pressure cookers, this changes the safety profile fundamentally.
Searing directly in the cooking bowl eliminates cleanup friction. Traditional cooking uses a separate pan for browning, then transfers to the cooker. That's an extra pan to clean. Doing it all in one bowl removes that friction and means fewer dishes after cooking.
A ceramic bowl that doubles as a serving vessel removes transfer steps. Stainless steel is durable but looks utilitarian on the table. Ceramic is naturally presentable, so you can cook and serve from the same vessel. That removed step, repeated daily, genuinely improves kitchen efficiency.
Auto keep-warm removes the reheating friction that discourages pressure cooking. Food that finishes at different times than eating time needs reheating, which is annoying. Auto keep-warm maintains temperature indefinitely, so food is ready whenever you are. That small convenience changes whether you actually use the cooker regularly.

Care & Use Instructions
Cleaning the removable lid and silicone seal: The removable lid is dishwasher-safe and can be placed directly in the machine. The silicone seal should be hand-washed in warm soapy water and dried completely before reassembling. Over time, the seal may absorb odours. To freshen it, soak briefly in white vinegar, rinse, and dry completely.
Cleaning the ceramic-coated cooking bowl: The ceramic bowl is durable and resists staining. Hand wash in warm soapy water or place in the dishwasher. The ceramic coating is naturally PFOA and PTFE free, so standard cleaning methods won't damage it. Avoid abrasive scouring pads that could scratch the surface.
Maintaining the stainless steel steamer basket and rack: Both the steamer basket and rack are stainless steel and dishwasher-safe. Hand wash or machine wash after each use. Dry completely before storing to prevent water spots. These accessories are removable for independent cleaning.
Cleaning the pressure release valve and vents: After cooking, ensure the pressure has fully released before cleaning. Check the steam release vent and pressure valve for any food particles or blockages. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently clear any debris. Never insert anything sharp that could damage these safety components.
Main cooker body and electrical care: Never immerse the main cooker body in water. Wipe the brushed stainless steel exterior with a dry or damp cloth to remove splashes and fingerprints. Keep the power cord coiled neatly and stored safely. Allow the cooker to cool completely before storing.
