  • QuestionDoes this have steamer feature in programable mode?

    Asked by Haroon.

    • Answer Thanks for your question! The Duo Plus doesn't have a dedicated Steam button however you can steam using the Pressure Cook function. It uses pressure to steam the food faster, but the results are almost identical to traditional steaming. To set it up, put your food in an oven-safe steamer on the trivet, or directly on the trivet, and add water to the inner pot. Select the Pressure Cook function and let the pot do the rest! We have a timetable on our website with the times for common food to help you get started. If there's anything you can't find, please get in touch with us and we'll be happy to help!

  • QuestionI don't see an air fry option on the front display. Many other options. How do you program it to airfry?

    Asked by Gumbotales.

    • Answer Thanks for your question. The Instant Pot - 8 Quart Duo Plus 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker does not have the air fryer functions. The Duo Crisp and the Pro crisp are our combo units that include the air fryer lid. We hope this helps!

  • QuestionDoes this instapot have WiFi? How does the sous vide function work?

    Asked by Nathan.

    • Answer There's no WiFi on the Duo Plus. Sous Vide works by sealing your food in an airtight bag and immersing it in heated water. The water cooks the food to the exact temperature set without going over. One of the most popular uses is to cook a steak to the desired internal temperature, then quickly searing the outside for a super even result!

  • QuestionIs this unit programmable?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Yes it is! The Duo Plus lets you customize the cooking functions and remembers your settings next time. For example, if you set a Pressure Cook program with a time of 15 minutes, it will remember that and default to 15 minutes the next time you select Pressure Cook!
