Q: QuestionNON stick liner? Or Stainless? Confused. The description on this Nova says the liner is non-stick. I do not want anything Teflon or close. Does this come with the ceramic one? I thought Instant Pots all came with the stainless steel inner pot. Help?

Q: QuestionDoes this item contain an air fryer?

Asked 5 years ago by Bob.

• A:Answer No, this does not contain an air fryer, but there is a lid that you can buy that can air fry your food or you can buy the model that has the air fryer (see photos). Enjoy!

Q: QuestionHi All, Re the Duo Nova - 1. How long is the included power cord? 12 inches, 18, or hopefully longer? 2. If I use an extension cord will it negatively impact the quality of the cooking? Any of you using an extension cord? Thank you.

Asked 4 years ago by Desiree.

• A:Answer The cord is 34" long (perhaps a little longer--it is difficult to stretch out totally straight) from end to end, not including prongs. Never use extension cords with heat-generating appliances unless it is the big orange ones made for workshops.

Q: Questionwhat Accessories come with the instant pot duo nova 6 quart 7 in 1, one touch multi color silver

Asked 4 years ago by daniel.

• A:Answer mine came with a metal trivet. I recommend getting a rubber one with longer handles, as it's easier to pull out the food and not burn yourself, but the metal one works fine if you're careful.

Q: QuestionDoes it support dual voltage? I plan to use it in other country where the voltage is 220 volts.

Asked 3 years ago by John.

• A:Answer Hello John. Thanks for your question! The 120V models can only be plugged into a 120V outlet and used within North America. Using them in another region and with an adaptor will void the warranty. However, we're happy to say that we make 220V models for use in other regions! Please contact our support team and we can provide details about the models available in your region.

Q: QuestionHot to use the slow cooker feature

Asked 3 years ago by Richard.

• A:Answer Hello Richard. Thanks for your question! Always ensure the lid is set to Vent when using the pressure cook function. Press the quick release button down until it clicks and locks in place. Slow Cook is a non-pressure cooking program that is compatible for use with any common slow cooker recipe. Please refer to your manual on page 44 for full instructions on how to slow cook.

Q: QuestionIs the 6qt big enough to make a big batch of chili and soups? I make big batch in my slow cooker. Not sure if I should get 6qt or 8qt. Thanks

Asked 4 years ago by TR.

• A:Answer If you want really big batches, I’d go with the 8qt. Mine is the six qt, and it is fine for 6-8 servings. But if you cook 10+ servings, better go with the big one.

Q: QuestionCan this be used to fry food?

Asked 4 years ago by Moviefan96.

• A:Answer It depends on the type of frying you want to do. The pot includes a Saute function, which works just like a hot pan on a stove. You can use it to fry bacon, for example, or sear meats. If you're interested in air frying, you'll need a separate lid for that. We do sell a stand-alone air fryer lid which is fully compatible with this pot.

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between this product One Touch Multi Cooker and the Pressure cooker?

Asked 4 years ago by mr79.

• A:Answer this is a pressure cooker but it also has one touch buttons for some specific items to make it easier to use. You can set the pressure cooking time and level to whatever you want manually (by hitting the plus or minus buttons, or the pressure button multiple times to cycle through the heat settings) or for many items, like rice for instance, you can just press the rice button and it will go for the determined time for regular rice cooking. For many things like different grains we just press the pressure cook button and just adjust the amount of time using the plus or minus button, and then it turns on itself after a few seconds and cooks and when done it releases the pressure (which you can let it do slowly or you can manually do a quick release) then just keeps it warm.

Q: QuestionDoes Best Buy have the accessory glass lid for this model Crock-Pot>

Asked 4 years ago by JohnR.

• A:Answer I have not seen it, but Walmart carries most if not all of Instant Pot accessories. If you have internet service, Everything is available on Amazon. Considering the popularity of this product, Best Buy is missing out on huge sales by limiting what accessories it carries. Hint, hint Best Buy? Just ask Walmart.
