Instant Pot 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

I love my Instant Pot. I bought one for myself years ago. We decided to take it to our vacation home. Sadly, we were robbed and it was stolen! I bought another one for our home, but ended up giving that to my son. I bought one for my daughter. I then bought another one for the house to replace the one that I gave to my son…and I just bought my 5th Instant Pot, this one to take back to our vacation home, because we use it SO much and for so many things, that it’s really indispensable. Nothing else works quite like it — and believe me, we’ve tried. So if you don’t have one, get one. You’ll be happy that you did. They’re wonderful for cooking rice, pasta, oatmeal, stews, meats. You can turn shoe leather into something delicious in an Instant Pot! Macaroni cooks in 4 minutes. Rice cooks in 7 minutes and it comes out perfect every time. Steel-cut oatmeal takes 12 minutes to cook and another 10 to rest…beats the daylights out of an overnight soak on the stove and then the stovetop mess of boiling it till done. And those are just things off the top of my head. There are apps with gazillions of recipes and cooking instructions available online. The pot is easy to clean — the inner pot and the top are dishwasher safe (read the instructions for cleaning), and best of all, it just works. Every single time. This makes a great gift for someone just setting up a new kitchen. It makes a great gift for anyone who doesn’t have one! We’ve been really happy with ours — and so have the folks we’ve given them to.

The Instant Pot Duo Plus 9‑in‑1 is an excellent pressure cooker and a huge time saver in the kitchen. I’ve been using it multiple times a week for over a year, and it has consistently performed flawlessly. The build quality feels solid and durable, with a design that inspires confidence in long‑term use. In my opinion, this is a high‑quality appliance that delivers on its promises. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to simplify meal prep and save time.

This is 1 of the best crock pots or pressure cookers that I have ever purchased I'm very happy with ITIT's easy to use Temperatures are perfect great searing function I'm looking forward to making a lot of pot roast and stoops and stews in this Oh it's very easy to clean

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!

Have used the Instant Pot only once so far. I cooked lamb shanks using the pressure cooker function and natural release. The results were surprisingly good. The lamb was really tender and flavorful and not at all mushy or dry which can happen if it's overcooked. I look forward to using this function regularly. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 because the sauté function is not effective. While the bowl heats up fairly well, once food is added it loses heat quickly and doesn't seem to come back up to temperature. I put lamb shanks which were at room temperature in after it heated initially, but they never really browned. I removed them and tried to sauté mirepoix of onions, carrots, and bell pepper, but they never developed any fond. I think it's because the bowl is made of relatively thin metal and won't hold heat well.

The Instant Pot Duo Plus 6 Qt has been an amazing addition to my kitchen. It’s incredibly versatile and truly replaces several appliances in one. I use it for pressure cooking, slow cooking, rice, yogurt, steaming, and even sautéing, and it performs perfectly every time. The interface is easy to use, and the pre-set programs make cooking simple, even for beginners. Meals cook much faster than traditional methods, while still coming out flavorful and tender. The 6-quart size is ideal for family meals or meal prep. I also appreciate how easy it is to clean, and the safety features give me peace of mind. Overall, this is a high-quality, reliable product that saves time and space. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable multi-cooker.

The Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 is one of the most practical appliances I own. It cooks fast, saves a lot of time, and the 6-quart size is perfect for family meals. I’ve used it for rice, soups, shredded meats, vegetables, and slow cooking, and it always gives great results. The stainless-steel pot is easy to clean, and the controls are very simple to understand. One feature I really love is that the screen alerts you if the lid hasn’t been placed correctly, this makes it safer and much easier to use. Overall, a reliable, versatile, and essential multicooker

This thing is awesome, I've used it just about everyday since it arrived, it replaced my rice cooker, and crock pot, it does both freeing up more counter space, little tip in soup mode you can use it like a hotplate or electric mobile stovetop, perfect for college kids too, or more frugal people with available counter top space. At first it seems difficult to clean, but once you go through the steps it's a LOT easier then it seems, I do suggest reading the manual though. If you actually clean it after every use like it says, it keeps it super easy to clean as well.
