Duo Plus 9-in-1 Multicooker, Pressure Cooker, Slow Cook, Rice Maker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt, Warmer & Sterilizer, Includes App with Over 800 Recipes, Stainless Steel, 6 Quarts

This is a game changer! I use it almost every day. It makes cooking soups, stews, and rice incredibly fast and easy. The meat comes out so tender. The stainless steel inner pot is high quality and super easy to clean. Worth every penny!

Excellent multi-cooker. Very easy to use and saves a lot of time in the kitchen. I’ve used it for soups, chili and multiple other recipes and everything comes out well cooked. The stainless-steel pot is high quality and easy to clean. Definitely worth the money and saves time preparing meals.

This review is going to be in steps, but I am impressed with the Instant Pot Duo. The most important factors of a good review are 1. packaging, 2. instructions, 3. shipping ( which has been less than agreeable ), 4. product customer service, and, 5. product performance and durability. Of the first two factors, I am very happy that this product was well packaged and the instructions are easy to understand and very well written. Plenty of diagrams and pictures and warnings, but the reading must be done before attempting to operate this pot, if you want to become proficient. And to answer anyone's question, no I am not a professional chef! I buy spices directly from the San Francisco importer for freshness which deals in pounds and put them in quart canning jars to keep them fresh longer. And my cabinet doors are off to eliminate opening and closing which is a redundant action. So, for this first review, I am very satisfied with this product and hope to produce amazing recipes. I think all kitchens should have the right appliance to do the right process. One appliance does NOT fit all cooking situations and I will continue to add. Next is getting a good Instant Pot Cookbook which comes with the territory. Stay tuned for the rest of my review; looking forward to a great experience. Thanks Amazon. I'll be back! 2nd review is ready.......Steamed Vegetables! First, I love vegetables, not that I am a vegetarian, but the benefits of steamed vegetables are enormous! Yes! I did Bok Choy, Chard, Red Onion, chicken seasoning, sea salt, garlic powder, fresh ground black pepper: 1.5 cups of water in the bottom of the Instant Pot, 2 minutes pressure cook, and beautiful. Next time, 1 minute because I like a bit of crunch on the veggies. But beautiful! Next Broccoli, Cauliflower, Green Beans, Asparagus, Collard Greens, Beets, Butternut Squash, Yellow and Acorn Squash, and any other vegetable that can be steamed! Since I love vegetables, this Instant Pot is a game-changer for Me! See you in the next review! Happy Instant Potting! This is my final review, and I think, as I have told many people, including a lot of men who are afraid to boil water, let alone get anywhere near a kitchen...............If you can read, you can cook! And this is a wonderful appliance to have in your kitchen, even for novices who can't boil water. After all, cooking is nothing more than experimentation. And it's meant to be fun. The Instant Pot does most of the work, all you have to do is read, gather the ingredients; read to set the Instant Pot, close the lid and press the appropriate button. It didn't all come to me when I first started but gradually, after reading and following trusted advise from trusted people, I was having fun and soon started creating my own vegetable dishes. (I love veggies.) It's not meant to be rocket science and with the availability of so many cookbooks, you'll wonder why you didn't sooner. That's it. I love this little appliance for the convenience and ease. And there are so many functions to do the work. It was my best buddy that convinced me to get one and I am glad I listened to him. He's been cooking for 40 years. No, he isn't a chef either but I trust his judgement! You can trust mine!

I’ve been very impressed with the Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 Multicooker. It has become one of the most-used appliances in my kitchen because it combines so many functions into one machine. I’ve used it as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, and steamer, and it performs well in each mode. One of the biggest advantages is how much time it saves. Meals that would normally take hours can be ready in a fraction of the time, and the pressure cooking function is especially great for soups, stews, beans, and tougher cuts of meat. The stainless-steel inner pot is durable, easy to clean, and doesn’t retain odors. The control panel is user-friendly, and I appreciate the variety of preset cooking programs. The safety features also provide peace of mind when pressure cooking. Pros: • Versatile 9-in-1 functionality • Saves time on meal preparation • Easy-to-use controls and presets • Durable stainless-steel inner pot • Easy cleanup • Consistent cooking results Cons: • There is a learning curve for new users who have never used a pressure cooker. • It can take some time to build pressure before the actual cooking time begins. • The appliance is somewhat bulky and takes up a fair amount of counter or storage space. Overall, the Instant Pot Duo Plus is a fantastic kitchen appliance that simplifies cooking and reduces the number of gadgets needed in the kitchen. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to prepare meals faster while still achieving great results.

Am pleased overall with functionality and ease of use. Couple things to consider if you're on the fence: This relates to the saute feature only: if you're sauteing anything more than a medium onion or trying to brown a decent amount of cubed stew meat you should probably fire up a pan instead (or brown in smaller batches). It gets hot enough but seems to struggle STAYING hot enough and you'll risk overcooking whatever you're trying to brown. After you pressure cook a savory meal the lid gasket retains the smell so strongly that you'll think you forgot to wash the lid. Consider swapping the spare gasket (included) for sweet/rice type dishes. I've only had my instapot for a couple weeks so there might be a better way to deal with this. Otherwise it's a pretty solid purchase!

This is a great instant pot. I would recommend it. It works great. Lots of choices for cooking modes. Love the sterilize feature. Great customer service as first one got "LOST IN THE MAIL" as it was shipped without hiding the contents. The stainless steel lining is was completes the package.

First time pressure cooking user and I was nervous. That being said, I’ve used this a dozen times now and I love it! Easy to use, and a great addition to a busy life. This instant pot makes the process of cooking so much better. Rice isn’t sticking to the bottom of the pot, the short ribs I cooked were tender, and the chicken breast I JUST cooked were juicy and cooked through! The size is big enough to cook 4x4 short ribs standing up, 2x big chicken breasts laying down (you can squeeze a 3rd). I also made stir fry rice in it easily. Easy to clean as well. I love it!

Just the words Insta pot made me want to run UNTIL I purchased this little wonder! I thought I’d never purchase one and figured it was a passing fad and was tired of hearing about them. Boy was I wrong! This device is amazing! I can do so much with this-slow cook, pressure cook, sauté, and more! Easy to understand instructions and easy to operate. Cleaning is simple and quick. I am so happy with this multi cooker and its versatility my only regret is that I waited so long to purchase it.

I recently had the pleasure of attending an incredible Instant Pot demo by Suman, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! Even though it was conducted through a video call, Suman's professionalism and expertise shone through, leaving me thoroughly informed and eager to start cooking with my Instant Pot. From the very beginning, Suman exuded enthusiasm and passion for the subject matter. His friendly demeanor and clear communication style made it easy to follow along and grasp the essential concepts. He began by introducing himself and setting the agenda for the session, ensuring that we knew exactly what to expect. Throughout the demonstration, Suman showcased an impressive depth of knowledge about the Instant Pot. He not only explained its various features and functions but also provided practical tips and tricks to make the most out of this versatile kitchen appliance. His step-by-step instructions were easy to understand, and he patiently answered all our questions, never rushing or making us feel hesitant to ask. One aspect that truly stood out during the session was Suman's attention to detail. He paid careful attention to every aspect of the Instant Pot, from proper handling to recommended cooking times for different dishes. He also emphasized safety precautions, ensuring that we understood how to use the Instant Pot responsibly and avoid any potential hazards. By the end of the demo, I felt confident and inspired to explore the vast array of recipes and possibilities with my Instant Pot. Suman's expertise and professional approach left a lasting impression, and I am grateful for the invaluable knowledge he shared during the session. Thank you, Suman, for the outstanding demonstration – you've made me an Instant Pot enthusiast! Overall, I rate Suman's Instant Pot demo with a resounding five stars!

If you have never used these before and are looking for a pot that cooks just about anything in less than it would normally on the stovetop, take the leap. I did so many years ago. My reason for getting this in the first place way back when was because I used to make rice everyday. After several expensive rice makers, they all had the same thing in common after a year or so. The non stick pot inside would start to peel away and to replace these was almost the price of what the Instant Pot was at the time. So the NUMBER ONE REASON I bought Instant pot in the first place was for the Stainless Steel pot on the inside. Amazing, and I pray that they don't turn to the non stick pots ever. I know that some of the other products they have do have the non stick pots, like in the air fryers. I do have an air fryer with the non stick and I am not happy about that, but I love the fryer aspect of it. There you have it folks, as a general rule of thumb, I tend to replace electronic cookware after about 10-15 years. I use these almost every single day, so I am very pleased with the company. Customer Service is also very responsive, so all in all a good choice. Real bang for your buck!

Estaba por comprar una olla de cocción lenta cuando la instant pot se cruzó por mi búsqueda y después de leer bastante sobre ella en internet, decidí gastar un poco más de lo que tenía planeado y la compré. Y no me arrepiento! La olla es simplemente maravillosa, especialmente para alguien como yo, que trabajo fuera de casa y tengo marido y dos niños qué alimentar. No es que la instant pot sea más rápida que una olla de presión convencional, dado que como cualquier olla de presión, hay que esperar que alcance la presión adecuada, luego está el tiempo de cocción y después la despresurización para poder abrirla, pero la GRAN diferencia es que al poderse programar simplemente te olvidas de ella y no tienes que estar vigilando nada, lo cual para alguien con muchas actividades es una magnífica ayuda. Tiene muchas funciones (cocción a presión, cocción lenta, arroz, granos, vapor, salteado, yogurt, esterilizar, etc) y el instructivo viene en inglés, francés y español. Es muy sencilla de usar y de limpiar, además de ser increíblemente silenciosa. El recetario que contiene es muy pero muy básico, pero en internet encuentras un montón de recetas súper sencillas además de que en Amazon puedes encontrar recetas en libros y Ebooks a precios muy razonables. A un mes de haberla comprado ya cociné en ella arroz, pollo, vegetales, carne, avena, arroz con leche con resultados muy satisfactorios y muy fácil. Denle una oportunidad, de verdad la van a amar. Update: Después de usar la olla por 3 meses, sigo muy satisfecha con mi compra, se cocina super fácil en ella y sobretodo sin estar cuidando nada. Lo único en contra que le encuentro, es que el aro de empaque que trae la tapa guarda el olor de lo que cocinaste. No importa con qué los laves, va a guardar el olor. Aunque eso no es un problema para cocinar, pues no vas a querer preparar una avena o unas verduras si el empaque huele a pollo o carne. La solución que le veo es comprar uno o dos empaques de repuesto y usarlos para diferentes tipos de comida, tal vez uno para cosas dulces, otra para saladas y otro para lácteos.

Estoy feliz, es la olla justo a mi medida, pequeña fácil de usar, silenciosa, realmente útil cocino solo para mí!

Debo de confesar que desde que llegó esta InstantPot, dejé de usar la estufa, y reducir el consumo de gas. Muchos de los platillos a los que estaba habituado con los métodos de cocción tradicionales, ahora los hago con esta olla. Para los que tengan dudas, les recomiendo que se suscriban a los múltiples grupos que existen en Facebook, donde se comparten tips y recetas. En YouTube encontrarán infinidad de canales con información. La unidad de 3Qt resulta ideal para personas solteras o parejas. Las unidades de 6Qt o mas son ya para familias de mas de 3 miembros. Esta olla es muy facil de usar, sorprendentemente rápida para preparar los alimentos, y extremadamente fácil de limpiar. MUY (énfasis en el MUY) recomendable!
