The classic Instant Pot Duo adjusts pressure, temperature, time, and heat to cook food up to 70% faster than other methods and deliver consistent, delicious results every time.

Initially was looking for the Duo Plus 8l but thought this is a pretty good price on the smaller version and I may not use the additional 2 features regardless.

Big plus for us is that they are stainless steel which makes it dishwasher proof and no toxic Teflon coating.

Same price at Bing Lee if you can combine with Cash back or gift cards.

          More like a pressure cooker that you can cook rice in. And does your rice cooker pressure or slow cook? Because a lot of rice cookers don't.

          • lflzg on 22/12/2024 - 20:14

            @MomentOfTruss: Humm. Not sure why I am neg. Anyway, mine does do some sort of pressure cooking but not to the extend of a pressure cooker, I tried cook a soy chicken with whole chicken in mine with one standard cycle, it was cooked through, let it sits in the sauce with lid closed for another hour and so yummy:)

          It's a pressure cooker. Very different from a rice cooker. I personally wouldn't use this for rice, but you can make some amazing dishes with it. Very good for Indian food.

        • wisdomtooth on 23/12/2024 - 08:03

          What rice cooker is that??

  • shaidas on 22/12/2024 - 16:51

    There is another model with 11 functions including air fryer and sous vide … the issue is ..these things can do all that they claim but not fully like a dedicated product would.. that means none of the functions get you there 100% ..70% at the best.. 50% in most cases.. except the food warmer bit .. that works 100%

    • TEER3X on 22/12/2024 - 17:00

      I suspect the rice cooker, pressure cooker and yoghurt maker work really well

      Saute function isn't great, ok for light sauteing, but it's just slow and underpowered.

      Sous vide isn't hard to replicate either, it's just a temperature controlled warm bath with circulating water.

      • clippers on 22/12/2024 - 17:15

        There are 3 temperature levels for Saute mode.

        When Sautéing, “Normal” is 160 to 175 degrees C, perfect for regular sautéing or browning. “More” is 175 to 210 degrees C, great for stir-frying or browning something even more. “Less” is great for simmering or thickening a sauce, typically at 135 to 150 degrees C.

          you should absolutely never stir fry with the instant pot, unless doing 5 grams of beef at a time.

          even using a pan or a wok that's sizzling, you should never crowd the pan. there's just not enough surface area, nor power for the instant pot to effectively stir fry or sear.

        Also if you buy a thermometer you can check the temperature of water for sous vide.

        There's a debate that since you circulating the water the heat is more evenly spread though the water.

        But does this matter if you are heating the entire bowel? Isn't the purpose of circulator since you're putting the circulator in one spot?

        Saute is important for a number of recipes that require browning of meat, Softening of onions, etc. before cooking. I use it in most recipes, I don't think I've ever used it as the only step. Though to me it seems to get very hot

      Have to disagree with you on that one. We use most of the functions including the Sous Vide and are very happy with the results. In relation to the pressure cooker it is much better than a standard pressure cooker because it is set and forget programmable. The air fryer function is probably the weakest because it is a tad small; however, it is more than adequate for our snacking needs. I also use mine to sterilise jars for canning. Make Yogurt that is equal to a standalone unit.

      • shaidas on 22/12/2024 - 17:40

        If it works for you thats grand bud.. I bought one then returned it ..I already had a pressure cooker and an oven.. this does not do half as well for me at least..I bought the Philips air fryer and an ink bird sous vide .. but I suppose it is horses for courses .. Good to hear it works for your needs

          I’ve got an Anova Sous Vide and a Fissler pressure cooker that now gather dust. The InstantPot works well for our steaks and is a lot less pfaffing around to set up. I do agree that a stand-alone airfryer would be a better option. A stovetop pressure cooker needs to be watched, the InstantPot doesn’t. We use it to make Yogurt, sterilise jars for canning, making porridge, etc. I have a pretty fully equipped kitchen but the Instantpot is what we mostly use.Maybe you should’ve persevered for a tad longer.

          You also now have multiple devices to provide the functionality. I disagree with your assessment on the percentage provided by the InstantPot. Particularly if people have limited kitchen space and are looking for a bang for buck option I think they should try the InstantPot. Particularly as places like Costco and Myers have returns policies.

          • shaidas on 22/12/2024 - 22:13

            @try2bhelpful: Lets agree to disagree then ..For me .. a pressure cooker has never needed watching, just listening for the steam release, the inkbird reduces the sous vide time, the oven was already built in , the air fryer is the largest item but the same size as a instant pot… anyone can give it a try and decide for themselves.. but you have had a different experience.. the only thing I miss is the one button keep warm function.. otherwise as I have stated it can do all the things but cannot do it as well as a dedicated dedigned for purpose device …but if you are happy with it thats all that matters ..my experience has been better with dedicated devices… the power is too low in air frying and sous vide, pressure cooking I use a non electric pressure cooker over an induction stove which takes a fraction of the time a dedicated electric pressure cooker would , never mind something like this

            • try2bhelpful on 22/12/2024 - 23:58

              @shaidas: And the InstantPot does it all with one device so your kitchen isn’t cluttered with a number of specialist devices. You also don’t have to pay for each individual device either.

              I’ve used a number of dedicated devices, and the InstantPot, and I don’t see much difference apart from the air fryer. The convenience of a programmable single device over a number of separate options is also a big attraction. However YMMV.

      • MomentOfTruss on 22/12/2024 - 17:51

        It's not better than normal pressure cooker, since a pressure cooker is usually 15psi. This is 11.6psi.

        Besides needing to adjust your recipes time your meat also comes out less tender.

        • try2bhelpful on 22/12/2024 - 18:03

          Works fine for me and there are plenty of InstantPot recipes on the Internet you can use. You don’t need to use standard pressure cooker recipes.

        • TEER3X on 22/12/2024 - 20:18

          actually the lower pressure is the selling point, or maybe i've been fooled by the marketing.

          nevertheless, it remains the most popular pressure cooker ever made.

    • Grazz989 on 22/12/2024 - 19:47

      How does the food warmer work exactly? Why would you use it over a microwave?

      Besides, some of the modes are perfectly 100% good. Pressure cooking, slow cooking, making soups, steaming - that all definitely works brilliantly in these things (assuming the size is good for you). I've not tried making yoghurt in them, but I can't see how that could go wrong. Stainless isn't ideal for a rice cooker perhaps, but surely it would work well for that too?

      Saute definitely isn't ideal on mine though, not enough power and a bowl shape is certainly not ideal.

      • bp2000 on 23/12/2024 - 15:53

        Typically food warming is happening once you've already used it as a cooker. My knock off instant pot will keep warm automatically after pressure cooking or slow cooking for example. I use it a lot with other functions. Sometimes I'll eat dinner and have it on keep warm to keep food out of the danger zone until I can be bothered to back it away.

        Obviously that may not be 100% food safety wise but it is what I do.

          We use the stainless steel and don’t have an issue with rice sticking. It probably just takes a bit of trial and error to get the water/rice ratio correct and we leave it sit for ten minutes before releasing steam. I do have to fluff the rice up before serving.

          • King Steuart on 23/12/2024 - 00:06

            @try2bhelpful: Yeah it could be a patience issue really. We only got the appliance last month and came from using a dedicated rice cooker with coated bowl which lasted a decade or so.

              @King Steuart: We burnt quite a bit of rice to start with. The man has the magic touch now. He washes the rice then soaks it for a while before starting the pressure cooking stage using a timer.

              Mind you we are Caucasian people born in the 1960s in Australia so what we consider to be acceptable with cooked rice might not work for others.:)

              Do a bit of online Googling and see what advice is around there. Best of luck.

                  @Grazz989: You wouldn't think there is much of a difference, but there is. The top end Japanese rice cookers costing a few hundred dollars that use microprocessors to make rice cooking foolproof also pressure cook the rice (e.g., https://www.binglee.com.au/products/tiger-10-cup-pressure-ih…).

                  It's just rice, but cooked this way it does come out quite superior to rice cooked in a bog standard absorption method $15 rice cooker.

                  If you can find the right combination of settings and measurements using an Instant Pot or other pressure cooker you can get the same results with an appliance that costs much less and can do more. But you do need to pay more attention than using a $600+ rice cooker. It doesn't take long from start to finish thankfully.

                  Amy + Jacky have a pretty trusty recipe for white rice in an IP - https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-rice/
                  Give it a go and see what you think. One tip if you do, once the rice is cooked don't mix it around too much in the IP bowl as the grains will be more tender than from a boil method. Too much mixing around and the rice will become a bit gluggy as the starch is more easily released. Instead serve it from the IP bowl or scoop it into another container with minimum disturbance.

      Just curious what kind of meals you can make in it? I fry a lot of stuff and make rice in a covered saucepan, so this might be useful as a healthier/more automatic alternative, though I'm trying to grasp what it would be best for.

        Pretty much anything that can be steamed. Just call search “ dish “ in instant pot. Someone has already written recipe.
        Sauté and stir fry is not its forte though if that is what you were referring to.

      • bp2000 on 23/12/2024 - 16:08
        +1

        Anything that can be steamed, slow cooked or pressure cook. Any meat in a sauce/broth will have an instant pot version. So curry, stew, are pretty standard. Taco meat, pulled pork, pasta sauce, those things as well. When I started using it I was mostly frying things as well. It is a bit different to that type of food. I use to eat a lot of steak, but you can't do that in pressure cooker, or at least I haven't . You can do fish if you steam it. I also use to make a lot of stir fry type dishes, I don't do that in the pressure cooker. Anything where crunchy texture is a big thing to be honest is where a pressure cooker starts to suffer.

        I've been trying to use it recently a bangers and mash type recipe. The sell is it can steam the potato's, start the gravy (needs to be thickened afterwards), cook the sausages (needs to be browned before). It hasn't been perfect but I'm getting ok results.

        I love it and try to use it any opportunity I get. Mainly because it is automatic, doesn't need constant supervision, doesn't heat up the house as much, and I find it fun to use.

        It has been great at increasing the amount of home cooking I'm producing as it lends itself to meal prep a big amount. I don't think the quality of what I'm cooking has increased as much though, but I love it as someone who doesn't really like cooking and sees eating at home as something more functional.

  • pepitovfr on 23/12/2024 - 07:43

        Chickpeas are great in an IP. I do an overnight soak with a tablespoon of salt and then tip out and rinse off. Then I use a 1:1:1 ratio to cook. 1 cup of dried chickpeas in 1L of water and 1 teaspoon of salt (if you have soaked in salty water overnight). You can also use stock instead of water, chuck in a tablespoon of dried herbs like an Italian mix, an onion halved, a big handful of garlic cloves. Cook for a least 5 mins, I often cook for 10mins sometimes 15 depending on how soft I want them. Then just let them naturally release. Even if you just use salt and water they are really tasty.

  • 2jzzzz on 23/12/2024 - 12:23
