The property that matters in an Indian kitchen is that glass does not stain: turmeric permanently colours plastic containers and leaves glass untouched, which is why a set like this outlives several plastic ones.
Full details →Who the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker 6 Qt is for
Buy it if: Anyone who wants unattended, timed cooking and will adjust timings upward from stovetop recipes.
Avoid it if: Anyone expecting stovetop-cooker speed -- lower pressure plus preheat makes it slower, not faster.
Who the Glasslock 18-Piece Tempered Glass Food Container Set is for
Buy it if: Anyone tired of turmeric-stained plastic and willing to handle the extra weight.
Avoid it if: Anyone carrying lunch daily -- 6.8 kg for the set, and glass in a bag is a risk.
