I absolutely love my Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1! This versatile kitchen gadget has quickly become my go-to appliance for making dinner time so much easier. The combination of 9 functions, including pressure cooking, slow cooking, sautéing, rice cooking, steaming, and even yogurt making, really saves time and space in the kitchen. I’ve used it for everything from tender, fall-off-the-bone chicken to perfect rice and even delicious homemade yogurt – and it’s delivered every single time. The pressure cooker feature is particularly a game changer, cutting down cooking times drastically, which is a lifesaver on busy days. The interface is user-friendly, and the display is clear and easy to read. I was a bit intimidated at first, but after reading the manual and using the pre-programmed settings, it’s been smooth sailing. It’s also easy to clean, which is a big plus. If you’re looking for an all-in-one kitchen appliance that can handle a variety of cooking tasks with ease, I highly recommend the Instant Pot Duo Plus! It’s a total time-saver and has helped me elevate my meals without the hassle.

The Instant Pot is versatile, easy to use, and saves time with fast, flavorful cooking. Its multiple functions and simple cleanup make it a great value for any home cook.

Everything about this machine is great. Old school functionalities in one modern device. I love it. After 6 years use of the original 3qt Duo, this is a well designed replacement. I have had this new pot for over a year. It works solid and consistent every time. As an over the road trucker, I use this at least once EVERY DAY to cook meals. The most used functions are the Pressure, Slow, Sous Vide, and Sauté cooking modes. Very healthy meals. The ceramic non-stick is a huge improvement over the previous pot. I have a mini-fridge. Many meals are Quinoa based with any type of meat, chicken, fish, cheese. Smash Burgers using the sauté mode are delicious; I use a small round cast iron griddle press. Simply dump in a pound of rump roast beef chunks, bag of frozen veggies, half stick of butter, mushrooms, onions, Any kind of starch (flour, cheerios, cheetos!, pasta, rice, grits), G. Hughes sugar free BBQ sauce (THE BEST FLAVOR OPTIONS), and whatever else you like!... set to slow cook LOW temp for 6 or 7 hours... and you will have a delicious cheaper than restaurant healthy hot meal when you park for the night. The meat is fork tender. I've made all the above; plus... ribs, shrimp and grits, SOUPs thick thin, Beans, Rice meat loaf.... freggin endless. The slow cook capabilites and the ceramic nonstick are the keys to success. This is the superman of crock pots. The internet is loaded with cooking ideas. So basically, yeah, I recommend.

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!

Fácil de usar, funciona perfectamente y lo mejor es que adentro es de acero inoxidable, lo que es super bueno para la salud.

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.

I have been using my InstantPot every night since I got it, and it has made mealtime so much easier and delicious. I can take almost anything directly out of the freezer and prepare it in minutes and have it on the table in less than an hour, including prep and additional dishes. It's quicker than going out for dinner, or ordering in, and so much healthier for you. For example, I can take a roast directly from the freezer, brown the outside in a pan with some olive oil and garlic or onions (while still frozen) then put the entire contents of the pan into the InstantPot, add a cup or two of water, set the time, and in 35 minutes, have a delicious pot roast ready and on the table. Want gravy with that? Set the pot to Saute after removing the vegetables and roast, and make your gravy directly in the InstantPot. It is so easy to set, and safe to use with it's multiple safety features, you will wonder how you managed without it before. Just like Grandma's pressure cooker, without the worry of overcooking or over-pressurizing, and it has so many multiple safeguards it's foolproof. I'm expanding what I'm preparing in it every day, with thousands or recipes online, or in cookbooks dedicated to its use. Well worth the investment, it paid for itself in less than two meals out. It's a blessing for last minute guests, hurried days with the family or making weekends more relaxing knowing dinner is only minutes away. One of the must have gifts of Christmas last year, I waited to get mine, but now I wondered why as it has made such a huge difference in preparing meals. The best appliance in my kitchen.

I absolutely love my Instant Pot! This multi-functional kitchen appliance has quickly become my go-to tool for making meals. With the ability to pressure cook, slow cook, sauté, and more, it's incredibly versatile and saves me so much time in the kitchen. One of my favorite things about the Instant Pot is how easy it is to use. The buttons and settings are straightforward and simple to navigate, and I appreciate the clear instructions that come with the machine. I also appreciate the safety features built into the design, such as the pressure release valve and the locking lid. The Instant Pot has completely revolutionized the way I cook. I can make soups, stews, and chili in a fraction of the time it would take on the stove, and the results are always delicious. I've also used it to make rice, quinoa, and other grains, and it always comes out perfectly cooked. Overall, I highly recommend the Instant Pot to anyone who wants to save time and effort in the kitchen. It's a great investment that will pay off in delicious, healthy meals for years to come. The demo was done by Manohanlal Sharma, he is highly knowledgeable and resolved all our questions. He is friendly as well.

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.
