Where these two actually differ
- We flag Stainless steel corrosion and metal leaching, Silicone gasket degradation and off-gassing and Bacterial growth in water reservoir or seal cavities on the Instant Pot and not on the Tiger.
- We flag Mineral and microbial buildup in heating element and Stainless steel corrosion and iron leaching on the Tiger and not on the Instant Pot.
- The Instant Pot is Stainless steel pot with no nonstick coating where the Tiger is Stainless steel inner pot and non-coated heating elements, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
