Product Information

Leaky Lid Detection – If there is steam leakage from the lid (such as, sealing ring not installed, or steam release handle being in “Venting” and not “Sealing” position) the cooker will not pressurize. Most of the models are very similar in terms of pot size, wattage, and voltage; where they differ is mostly in the software—how many “smart” cooking settings are built in along with preset heat, time, and pressure levels. Depending on what you plan to make with your Instant Pot, extras range from practical and essential to plain old fun. QUICK AND EASY CLEAN UP: Finger-print resistant, stainless-steel sides and dishwasher-safe lid, inner pot, and accessories.

You may give your Instant Pot another name through the Alexa App by going to Devices, selecting your cooker, and tapping Edit Name. This can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, depending on how much liquid is in the Instant Pot. pressure, the question is would you use the low pressure on the Instant pot to steam and cook puddings etc?

This means that a script can be written to pressure cook for x minutes, slow cook for x minutes, turn off for x minutes, and then keep warm for x minutes – or really, any combination at an unlimited number of steps.

For rice with a firmer texture, use the Less mode; for rice with a normal texture, use the Normal mode; for rice with a softer texture, use the More mode. Elena, the Instant Pot’s slow cook setting’s lowest level is like a keep warm setting on a regular slow cooker. Use Less mode for simmering, thickening, reducing liquids and for foods that may burn easily; use Normal mode for searing; use More mode for browning and stir-frying. Well, that’s why we’re all here today - to see the final battle; the Instant Pot Duo vs Duo Nova comparison!For the most part, you can keep the inner pot cleaned just as you would clean any stainless steel pot—by hand washing or the dishwasher. The Ultra also has a dial which makes switching between programs and temps easier than on the Duo, and the auto-closing pressure valve streamlines the steam-release process and aids in safety with the pressure-cooking.

If all these options are starting to look the same, and you are overwhelmed by the similar offerings, the models I recommend the most to readers are the DUO and DUO Plus – they are the “active” Instant Pots in my own kitchen. The Duo Nova comes with a stainless steel inner pot with sealing ring, steam rack and extra seal ring, which is handy as the silicone tends to pick up odors. This Duo is best for: anyone looking for the original Instant Pot who doesn't need any fancy upgrades. I love this function because I don’t need to get out another pan and that helps keep cleanup to a minimum.

They all have something that makes them incredibly useful in the kitchen, which is why I can’t choose just one best Instant Pot. Thank you again for replying to my last question but I am trying to understand the pressure part of cooking sponge puddings. The Pro Plus Smart also features a premium inner pot with easy-to-grab handles and comes with NutriBoost, a function that mimics the motion of boiling by moving food in the pot. The mid-level model was most similar to the Instant Pot Duo Plus, but came with a different control panel, a sous vide function, and extra accessories. Don’t worry, you don’t need a special “egg” button to pressure cook eggs as long as you have a model that also lets you choose low pressure, you can just follow our instructions.
