What Does the Instant Pot Smart WiFi do?
The better question might be “what doesn’t it do?” (It hasn’t figured out how to grocery shop for me, but I’m guessing the folks at Instant Pot are probably working on that…) Seriously, though, it’s pretty amazing what the Instant Pot Smart WiFi does.

Who Should Buy the Instant Pot Smart WiFi?

So, yeah… if any (or all) of those statements is YOU, then this is most definitely the Instant Pot for you. So now when all of those people on the Instant Pot Facebook Group ask whether they can start their IPs then leave the room or house to get something else done while dinner cooks, the answer is Yes. You. Can! Now with the Instant Pot Smart WiFi. Yay!!
Two questions:
1. “No matter where you are” — can we be outside Wi-Fi range (say at work)?
2. Can we create our own recipes with sequence of actions?
Thanks for the great write up!
Good questions, Sam. Yes, absolutely! That’s the whole point of having your pot connected to your wifi in your home. Then, no matter where you are, you can see and control what’s going on directly from the app on your phone, as long as you have cell service or wifi wherever you are. So if you get cell service at work or if your phone is connected to your work wifi, then definitely you can access your pot’s information on your app on your phone (as long as your pot is connected to your own wifi at home and plugged in.) Regarding creating your own recipe with a “scripted” action on the WIFI pot, I don’t think they have that capability yet, but it’s a great idea! I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.
Where can I buy in Italy the Instant Pot 6qt Smart wifi?
If I purchase it from the USA, I’m charged a hefty export/import duty.
Hi Sarah! That’s a good question. Unfortunately, for now, the Instant Pot Smart WIFI is only available in the U.S., so I can’t help you there. Hopefully you’ll have access to one soon! Happy holidays! Also, even if you ordered it from the U.S. I don’t think the voltage is set up for European use. Just keep your eyes open for a 220V on Amazon.uk.
