Instant Pot Duo 6qt 7-in-1 Pressure Cooker

Dont understand why there's no spoon or measuring cup, it is rice cooker also right? The lid was not function right it wont close properly after few attempt. Thought it would be good choice Maybe why it's on sale.

Love it my cooking got so easy and simple since I bought this instant pot and instant air fryer oven I am not using my bake oven and stove any more I cook everything on my two instant pot love it so much

I have owned various pressure cookers but this is my first Instant Pot brand. I bought this one mainly because of the ease of finding replacement parts and additional accessories. Whereas other brands that I have used when it came to finding replacement parts were non-existent. I was a little disappointed that there was no recipe book included. It does include a food chart giving examples of cooking times but no actual recipe to follow. Also upon first using it there was steam coming around the sides. That shouldn't happen. I looked in the booklet which gave the impression that the seal ring had to be installed first. But the seal ring was preinstalled. I examined the ring to discover that whoever attached it during manufacturing had not placed it on there correctly. I struggled with the seal ring for a while before I figured out how to get it on there correctly. My gripe is that it should have been installed correctly the first time by the manufacture and not by me as a consumer. I decided to make something simple like pinto beans. I added 1lb of pinto beans that had NOT been soaked and I used my tea kettle to boil some water and cut down on the heating up time. I added 5 1/2 cups of hot water and some seasoning and such. I had read online where Instant Pot 20-25 minute bean chart was simply not enough to make them soft and therefore I did the manual pressure on high for 45 minutes and let it naturally loose steam. The beans were heavenly. Perfectly cooked and delicious. I'll make them that way again. I like the various features of it. One huge plus is being able to turn off the stay warm feature. I have overcooked all sorts of things without the ability to do that. I like how quickly it heats up. The pressure valve pops up without worry. However, I do tend to stay nearby until that happens. The slow cooker feature is also nice. It does not require a separate glass lid but one can be purchased as an addon. The Stainless Steel pot has a nice heavy feel and good construction to it. It's easy to clean and seems to be of good quality. Thus far I am very pleased with it. It would have been perfect if the manufacture had included a recipe book and had correctly installed the seal ring. But I am happy with it and glad that I bought this size and for the lowest price around.

Easy to work with, very useful and easy to clean.

Absolutely love this pot!!!!!!

So easy and quick, great for meals during the week!

I held off as long as I could to get one of these. Works great for what I need it for. Maybe not as fancy as some of the other models but if you know what your doing, this is all you need. I mostly bought this for the stainless steel pot inside. Little more cleanup but I feel good about using something that wont have chemicals leaching into my food like other brands. This is as big as a regular crock pot, plenty big for a family for a roast or what not. I never believed one of these could help my cooking until I cooked a stew with carrots and added some 1 inch thick sweet potatoes. I could not believe these were very soft after about 1 hr cook total from start to de-pressure. No more canned soups for this family! I am a low and slow type of cooker but this is kind of nice to use. I don't think I'll get the over done dry pieces of meat that I usually get in a regular slow cooker. The other nice thing, no funky smells first time using or anything like that compared to an air fryer which smells like burning plastic for weeks. You can pull this out of the box new, give the pot a quick wash and be ready to go to cook!

My wife and I have been thinking about buying an instant pot for a while now, and I’m sure glad we did. We love that we can put frozen meat in when we get home from work, instead of leaving it out to thaw. We had London broil the other night, and not only did it cook fast, but it tasted great, and was tender. Wish we would have bought it sooner
