    What an excellent product! I love it! This pot replaces many other appliances, for instance, I got rid of my slow cooker. This pot does everything, so many functions in one pot!

    Great appliance. Made one pot pasta and it was so simple and delicious. 2nd dish was St Paddy’s Day corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots. Another winner. Lots of YouTube recipes so no problem finding things to cook. Also, great curbside pickup service.

    Directions are confusing I have a red seal and there's no mention of it anywhere in the instructions. When I try to use the seal and close the pressure cooker it will not close so now I'm at a loss on to how to use this item. It should not be this hard. Just don't know how to use it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      The red sealing ring is an extra sealing included with your Instant Pot. There is a clear sealing ring already installed on the underside of your lid. The extra sealing ring is handy for switching between different dishes. You could use one ring for sweeter dishes and the other one for more savory dishes. Please refer to our Instant Home website under Instant Resources for the Duo Nova manual. If you have more questions you can also reach out to our support team and we will be happy to help!

    Haven't used this too much, but everything I've cooked has come out exactly as expected. I don't have anything to compare this with, but it does produce short ribs as tender as my slow cooker, but in about a quarter of the time. This model is the size of a typical rice cooker, so may be bigger than you expect. Definitely can cook enough food for 4-6 people. Only knocks are the pieces that need to be washed each time: the rubber grommet, the steam valve, lid, etc. The slow cooker is pretty much the pot and lid.

    I was apprehensive about getting one of these, but it was such a great dealnon Black Friday I just had to. I’m glad I did though. Ive had this for about a month now and it’s used nearly every single day. I can make so many dishes with this and have them come out amazing. Meat comes out tender as if it was in the slow cooker for hours in a fraction of the time. I definitely do not regret this purchase. Just keep in mind you have to add in time for the pot to come to pressure as well as naturally releasing when its done, or you can quick release to speed things up a little.

    Really easy to use. Works really well and safe with the automatic valve. This size is perfect for couple, especially when you do weekly meal prep. Instant pot makes it easy to be a confident and great cook , just put all the ingredients and light seasoning inside and wait to have delicious meals. Highly recommend for broth cooking such as oxtail or ribs/chicken. The broth came out super clear!!

    Pressure cookers are GAME CHANGERS for someone like me who wants to be able to cook rice, quinoa, and stews without the hassle. The best part is the ability to cook bulk items such as lentils and beans, therefore allowing me to save money and Mother Nature by cutting down on endless cans of beans. Instant Pots are worth every dollar, and then some.

    Easy to use and very versatile. I'll admit that we were just looking for a rice cooker and veggie steamers, but we have made several chilis and stews with this machine and it does a great job cooking thoroughly and infusing the flavors in record time. It does take a little time to build up pressure, but it still cuts cooking time for more things in half

    Adding another Instant Pot to the kitchen. We have a smaller one that we use all the time so this bigger one will definitely come in handy! Cooks quickly and even cooks frozen food so it saves us a lot of time! Even though pressure cookers can be intimidating, this one is very easy to use if you follow the directions and theres alot of recipes online and on youtube!

    So let's start off by saying that I DO know how to cook lol, but working 50-60 hours a week you rarely have time to slave over a stove for a good home cooked meal. Enter the Instant Pot, I love this appliance because it cuts down the preparation and cook time drastically. My favorite thing to cook in it so far has been Pot Roast, don't be afraid to use it either. No it wont blow up on you, it has multiple fail safes to prevent that from happening. Read the instructions, download the app for the recipes and if you need help go to Youtube they have tons of recipes that you can try.

    We have a different model but bought this as a give for my Father-In-Law. He had recently had some health issues and needed to start managing his meals better. Got him the cookbook and he has gone to town on it and uses it daily. We traveled to visit him and my wife gave him some pointers and he loves this device. Now we need to get him one of those steam diverters. We have the dragoon but need something to make his unique.

    I now see why so many people love the Instant Pot. I'm cutting down on cooking time, without compromising the taste of the food. I have more space on my countertops because I don't have to have a separate steamer, slow cooker, rice cooker, and pressure cooker. I've made several recipes with this and they've all turned out pretty well. I would definitely recommend it.

    We needed something to replace an older slow cooker, and chose the 6 quart Duo Nova Instant Pot because we wanted something to act like the slow cooker and also that would cook rice or steel cut oats mainly, and maybe some other things, and it was on a good sale price. This works very well and is easy to use (once you understand the instructions -- which aren't the most complete, but you can look online at their website to find out how to use it, or it's really pretty intuitive.) It's simple to make all kinds of things, and is easy to keep clean. It seems to be very solidly constructed. The 6 quart is larger size than we would need usually, but if making a larger stew it's nice to have. Ordered online from Best Buy and it was shipped and received very quickly.

    Great One-Stop Kitchen Tool

    We used to have a kitchen gadget for everything--pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker...you name it. When we heard about the Instapot, we thought this was the solution but it turned out to be better than we could have imagined. Not only is it multi-function as as stated but these very functions are adjustable so it allows both the beginning cook and the more advanced 'chef' the ease in th former and the flexibility required of the latter. In Instapot, there are various types--the Duo Nova struck this very perfect balance. If there is a con, so far, the only one is that it does not bring a manual with it or a cookbook. Both items, which are things that used to be packaged with electronics, are much needed. Having a client have to download and print shouldn't be required. Look forward to continued work to discover how many more appliances I can replace!
