Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker, Warmer & Sterilizer, Includes App With Over 800 Recipes, Stainless Steel, 6 Quart

Perfect pressure pot
I decided to buy this 3qt instant pot after visiting a friend who strongly recommended it. They said this Instant Pot makes everything so easy, from cooking rice and porridge to braising meat, all fast and hassle-free. So I placed the order.I bought the 3-quart Instant Pot thinking it might be too small, but I also didn’t want the 6-quart because it takes up so much counter space, while I already have a large slow cooker. I kept debating whether to return it or exchange it for the bigger size.Tonight I finally tested it by making braised chicken thighs. I added one medium onion (quartered), four pieces of chicken thighs, two pieces of celery stalks, two medium potatoes (chopped), and some water. I pressure-cooked it for 20 minutes, and the natural release alone only took 26 minutes. The food turns out to be incredibly delicious.This let me know that the 3-quart size is actually perfect. Even though it’s smaller, it holds quite a lot and easily enough for two people. Especially, the natural release time is still very manageable. With a larger pot, the natural release could take even longer. Overall, I’m really glad I kept the 3-quart instant pot.

Usefulness
Excellent product. It has multiple functions and you can have your meals ready faster than regular oven. My mom loves it. Is easy to use and easy to clean. Every one should have one of this in their kitchen.

I loved
Excellent pressure cooker. Save a lot of time in the kitchen. It cooks quickly, is easy to use and the food is well cooked and tastes good. I recommend it. I loved this pressure cooker, it’s easy to handle

A Versatile Time-Saver Pot
Honestly, I was skeptical, but this Instant Pot is a game-changer! It’s a total time-saver for delicious, tender meals like pot roasts and soups. I love the all-in-one functionality sauté then pressure cook, which makes cleanup a breeze. The only minor downside is the sealing ring holds odors, but that’s easily managed

My favorite cooking appliance for personal use. I was surprised out of the box, there were no chemical smells and no smells on test run. I was surprised how extreme the pressure gets. Releasing the pressure takes a long time. Size is perfect for 1 or 2 people and also good for traveling, if you have power for it.

Muy funcional, práctica y de buen tamaño.Fácil de limpiar y de usar.

We bought this unit a few months ago, only reviewing now after having used it several times.We’ve been wanting to buy one for the longest time but with the regular prices where they are at, wasn’t high on the priority list. And then, one of those near half-price time limited deal sales popped up and we decided to order it. We’re very glad we did!At the time a newer model was listed, however the newer model is “all black” design style, and we really like the look of the two-tone black & stainless steel finish. Most of our kitchen appliances & countertop appliances are in the Black & Stainless steel color theme so it nicely matches everything else in the kitchen.Since having bought it, we’ve used it several times already, and a variety of foods cooked in it. We are very impressed, and wish we would have bought it long ago. (we ended up buying an airfryer cheat sheet). We are very impressed with the quality of food and short cook times cooking with a pressure cooker.We love the versatility of this cooking appliance the range of foods we can cook in it. There’s no shortage of recipes for the InstaPot brand of pressure cookers, and InstaPot is pretty much the defacto brand that everybody has and uses, so there’s no guesswork on converting over to a ‘similar brand’ pressure cooker.Versatility: 7-in-1 becomes +10-in-one with accessories!We’re also impressed by the number of additional accessories available in both official InstaPot brand, as well as third party off-brands that will further widen the versatility of cooking foods in this unit. For example there are glass lids so you can convert it into a true slow-cooker device, theres non-stick coating inner pots, replacement/additional stainless steel inner pots (allows you to quickly re-use the InstaPot for cooking another food/meal type) strainer and steamer basket inserts, and a variety of other utility inserts & accessories.For example, we tried a pork roast. Normally in the slow cooker we’d let it run on low for most of the day to be ready by suppertime. With the InstaPot, on high pressure mode, ready within the hour!For People who may already have a slow cooker, debating on buying an InstaPot or have neither and debating which to buy:Both the InstaPot and our digital CrockPot brand slow cooker are the same capacity, however both units have their trade-offs.- The slow cooker allows a larger sized roast as the inner pot is oval shaped lengthwise, whereas the InstaPot is round but taller.- With the pork roast for instance, InstaPot we had to cut it in half and either cook it in 2 batches or freeze the other half to cook next time vs slow cooking the whole roast and freezing half of it for later.- And of course is the difference in cooking times. InstaPot 1-2 hours High Pressure mode, vs 4-8 hours (High or Low modes on the CrockPot)IF you have the budget and/or cupboard / available countertop storage space, there’s no harm in having both, you’ll have the best of both worlds. Alternatively, if storage space is at a limited premium, you could simply choose the InstaPot and pickup / order a couple InstaPot accessories like the Glass cooking lid, or any of the many accessories at any point later as needed.Highly recommended for anyone wanting a healthy and time-saver countertop cooking appliance!
