Overview
Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 multicooker, 6 quart, stainless steel, combining pressure cooking, slow cooking, rice, steam, saute, yogurt, sterilize and keep warm in one unit. Suits families or meal preppers who want one appliance instead of several.
800+ recipe app support and 15 preset programs point this toward hands-off cooking rather than manual pressure adjustment. The detachable cord and dishwasher-safe lid keep upkeep low, though the smart programs assume you're comfortable trusting presets over stovetop control.
- App access to 800+ guided recipes
- 15 one-touch smart programs
- 10+ built-in safety mechanisms including overheat protection
- 6-quart capacity, about 6 servings
Who it's for
Fits home cooks who want to replace a slow cooker, rice cooker and pressure cooker with one appliance, especially for batch cooking or families of four to six. Not a fit for anyone wanting manual analog dial control or with limited counter space.
Pros and cons
- Combines pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker and steamer
- Dishwasher-safe lid and inner pot
- Includes extra sealing rings and steam rack
- Sears and sautes directly in the same pot
- Presets limit manual control experienced cooks may want
- Come-up time adds to total cook time beyond the display
Performance notes
Pressure and temperature are managed by the control board rather than a manual valve, so the Easy-Release steam switch and automatic pressure sensing do most of the safety work. The tri-ply stainless pot allows searing directly in the same vessel before switching to pressure or slow-cook mode, cutting down on extra pans. The 1000-watt element brings the unit to pressure gradually, so total cook time includes come-up time on top of the listed program length.
