Why I bought the Instant Pot IP-DUO Plus60 9-in-1 Multi-Functional Pressure Cooker, 6 Qt
Instant Pot IP-DUO Plus60 9-in-1 Multi-Functional Pressure Cooker, 6 Qt – I’ve wanted a PC for a long time and have done a lot of research. I was originally leaning towards the PPCXL because that’s what my cousin has, but I did some more research and ended with this one, waiting until the Duo Plus came out. So, since I’m the 4th reviewer, here’s some of the thought process I went through in deciding to get the DUO Plus and also some thoughts on the IP vs the PPCXL and also other considerations on accessories, size, etc. So far, I’ve only had it a few days, but overall satisfied and plenty of online support for recipes and helping you decide the post PC for your needs.**Why I went with the Instant Pot (IP) duo60 Plus -Three new preset buttons – cake, egg, sterilize. It also had the yogurt function which other IP do, but not some of the other makes.Large LCD Screen with Digital DisplayMute button for those beeps in the night when cooking yogurt etc.Plus / Minus button for both time and pressureKeep Warm Selector can be selected to on or off at anytime.Delay start of 24 hours and keep warm for 10 hours.Lid rest (right or left side)**Why I went with IP vs PPCXL -Food Grade 304 (15/8) stainless steel pot vs stainless steel with teflon coating. I felt I could scrub and treat the pot however I wanted and not worry about scratching and what utensils to not use. Yes, you can buy a replacement inner pot for a Teflon pot, but after I spend $100+ I really don’t think I should have to buy a replacement inner pot. Some of the FB group users are fine with the Teflon pot, but there are also a lot of complaints, so it might be in the handling, but every Teflon pan I ever had eventually got tossed out because of the coating coming off.IP came with some of the accessories you pay for on the PPCXL. It had the trivet with handles, condensation collector, Rice Paddle & spoon and a couple intro guides/cookbooks.Free shipping for IP. PPCXL site wanted $29.99Buttons weren’t quite clear on PPCXL site so it made me think they were hiding lack of selection on preset buttons. Also, confusing on what you were buying – regular PPC or PPCXL. A lot of their verbiage refers to PPCXL, but not necessarily when you go select your items for your shopping cart.Yogurt Button – The IP has this and the PPCXL doesn’t. The IP allows you to bring the milk to 185 in the IP, cool to 120 (I will be using the quick cool method in the sink) and then put in yogurt mode for incubation (8-12 hours). The PPCXL doesn’t have this and you wrap it and put it in the oven.Warranty on IP is 1 year and I went with the Square Trade Warranty for 4 years for an additional $14.37. No deductible, no hidden fees, no shipping, transferable. PPC has 60 day money back/replacement. After that up to one year you have to pay $24.99 for shipping. Their extended warranty if $15 for 3 years.Slow Cooker Mode had a low, medium and high heat button.IP has a + and – sign to increase or decrease the time. Others you have to select a preset and keep pressing to increase, you can’t decrease time.Overall ratings – IP 4.7 and PPCXL 4.1. I read through a lot of comments by verified buyers and the PPC owners seemed a lot more upset with customer service. I looked through a lot of Reviewers who do this for a living or at least blog and they leaned towards the IP.I messaged with the PPCXL people online and you can tell they’ve been coached for answers knowing what their down faults are and not really answering the question or referencing what you know is a negative.There are more IPs on the market and most recipes are geared towards it from a “preset button” perspective.IP has a left and right handle that will hold your lid tilted.I belong to a Pressure Cooker group – there are a lot of complaints about other manufacturer’s instructions, quick start guide, etc. Lots of issues with lids locking, not pressurizing etc and I really don’t see this for the Instant Pot family of PCs.**Sizing -I measured my crock pot which was 6 quart, so that’s what I ordered. It’s an OK size for 2 people, but since you can only fill it 2/3 full when cooking under pressure you should take that into consideration. I figure on a roast, I will do the meat first, then veggies. The 6 quart will hold four pint canning jars for sterilization.**Accessories -What else to buy? I got the OXO Good Grips steamer with extendable handle and a pack of 3-IP Rings color coded (dark for savory meats, orange for desserts and I will use the clear for yogurt). I had read they were dishwasher safe, but not 100% as they might keep flavors.On my next order I’m looking at 2 cookbooks (IP Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook for $9 and IP Obsession for $12). There are plenty of Facebook Group pages you can join for recipes too and online reviewers. Just type in what you are making followed by “in a pressure cooker” or “in an IP”. I’m also buying IP Silicone Mitts for easy removal of a hot pot since I will be making yogurt ($10).The only negative of the Instant Pot is you can’t get a 10 quart and if I had a REALLY big family that would be the only reason, but basedon the above, I would probably just buy a 2nd Instant Pot.I hope this is helpful. I did a lot of research and felt the need to share it. I will update this as I use it and get additional questions.8/9/2017 update – I’ve been using my IP for a few months now. I use my steamer basket and trivet a lot. I make a “bowl” out of heavy duty foil and put on the trivet when making a whole chicken and it makes trivet clean-up easier. I bought an IP plain glass lid for slow cooker & yogurt mode. I don’t use my extra rings cause I use my plain lid for yogurt, so no use to swap rings. I didn’t get the silicone mitts. I realized I didn’t need them. My inner pot doesn’t get that hot on yogurt mode. I like the 2 cookbooks. I use Bar Keeper Friend to clean the pot. Still really happy with my IP-DUO Plus 60. I’m part of a FB PC group and I don’t see complaints on the IP. Very happy with my purchase.12/29/2017 update – So on Black Friday I bought the 3 qt Instant Pot because I felt like I need to have twins. It’s a great size and great forsides and especially my 2 quart of yogurt I make at least weekly, so it doesn’t tie up my 6 qt IP. We winter in FL and I was able to “sneak” the6 qt into the truck and now I have the 3 qt here too. I made an entire Thanksgiving dinner for Christmas (Irma got in our way last month repairing) in the 2 pots. In future years, I’ll prob just bring the 3 qt cause it fits better in my cabinets in the mobile home.

Instant pot duo, plus
Iâve had the instant pot duo plus for two months now and works great. I am new to instant pot so I needed directions from cookbooks and watching YouTube, which helped tremendously. Itâs a bit of a learning curve now Iâm getting better at it. This product is a very good appliance , well-made and built to last. Itâs a workhorse. I have the 6 quart, which allows me to make extra and freeze since I live alone. iâve made delicious soups and the pressure cooking makes food taste better. I love how I can set it and be free to do other things, very efficient. If youâre on the fence about using an instant pot, I say go for it. Iâm thrilled that I gave it a try.

A little familiarity with the instructions you are on a roll
The timer was a bit of a misunderstanding. Run the test 5min. Decided on pot roast 1s try. Came out pretty nice. Lots of recipes to choose from online and on YouTube easy to use. Get the 6 qt never the 3qt.
Perfect size, looks great. Easy to use, heats quick, dinner is ready in 20 minutes and meat is very tender. Seals tight and works perfect exactly like they said. –

My Review to You –
I have been using my InstantPot every night since I got it, and it has made mealtime so much easier and delicious.I can take almost anything directly out of the freezer and prepare it in minutes and have it on the table in less than an hour, including prep and additional dishes. It’s quicker than going out for dinner, or ordering in, and so much healthier for you. For example, I can take a roast directly from the freezer, brown the outside in a pan with some olive oil and garlic or onions (while still frozen) then put the entire contents of the pan into the InstantPot, add a cup or two of water, set the time, and in 35 minutes, have a delicious pot roast ready and on the table. Want gravy with that? Set the pot to Saute after removing the vegetables and roast, and make your gravy directly in the InstantPot. It is so easy to set, and safe to use with it’s multiple safety features, you will wonder how you managed without it before. Just like Grandma’s pressure cooker, without the worry of overcooking or over-pressurizing, and it has so many multiple safeguards it’s foolproof. I’m expanding what I’m preparing in it every day, with thousands or recipes online, or in cookbooks dedicated to its use. Well worth the investment, it paid for itself in less than two meals out. It’s a blessing for last minute guests, hurried days with the family or making weekends more relaxing knowing dinner is only minutes away. One of the must have gifts of Christmas last year, I waited to get mine, but now I wondered why as it has made such a huge difference in preparing meals. The best appliance in my kitchen.

Estaba por comprar una olla de cocción lenta cuando la instant pot se cruzó por mi búsqueda y después de leer bastante sobre ella en internet, decidà gastar un poco más de lo que tenÃa planeado y la compré.Y no me arrepiento!La olla es simplemente maravillosa, especialmente para alguien como yo, que trabajo fuera de casa y tengo marido y dos niños qué alimentar.No es que la instant pot sea más rápida que una olla de presión convencional, dado que como cualquier olla de presión, hay que esperar que alcance la presión adecuada, luego está el tiempo de cocción y después la despresurización para poder abrirla, pero la GRAN diferencia es que al poderse programar simplemente te olvidas de ella y no tienes que estar vigilando nada, lo cual para alguien con muchas actividades es una magnÃfica ayuda.Tiene muchas funciones (cocción a presión, cocción lenta, arroz, granos, vapor, salteado, yogurt, esterilizar, etc) y el instructivo viene en inglés, francés y español. Es muy sencilla de usar y de limpiar, además de ser increÃblemente silenciosa.El recetario que contiene es muy pero muy básico, pero en internet encuentras un montón de recetas súper sencillas además de que en Amazon puedes encontrar recetas en libros y Ebooks a precios muy razonables.A un mes de haberla comprado ya cociné en ella arroz, pollo, vegetales, carne, avena, arroz con leche con resultados muy satisfactorios y muy fácil.Denle una oportunidad, de verdad la van a amar.Update:Después de usar la olla por 3 meses, sigo muy satisfecha con mi compra, se cocina super fácil en ella y sobretodo sin estar cuidando nada.Lo único en contra que le encuentro, es que el aro de empaque que trae la tapa guarda el olor de lo que cocinaste. No importa con qué los laves, va a guardar el olor. Aunque eso no es un problema para cocinar, pues no vas a querer preparar una avena o unas verduras si el empaque huele a pollo o carne. La solución que le veo es comprar uno o dos empaques de repuesto y usarlos para diferentes tipos de comida, tal vez uno para cosas dulces, otra para saladas y otro para lácteos.

If you live in a neighbourhood where your packages might get stolen off your front porch I recommend asking for extra/gift packaging in checkout because mine was shipped in the bright red Instant Pot box. This is my first pressure cooker and first instant pot. I live alone in a very small apartment so I got this one over the 6QT and that was definitely the right idea. Packaged with the instant pot itself is a very thorough manual, an extra rubber seal for the lid, and plug. Cleaned everything and ran it through a water-only test run with no problems. The screen is bright and easy to read and the buttons are all clearly labelled. There are a lot of settings that I will probably never use, but so far I’ve made an easy beef stew with it and I’m very impressed with how quick it is compared to a slow cooker. Remains to be seen how long it will stand up to use over time, hopefully it will live up to the instant pot reputation for being long-lasting. Recently the cost of the 3QT models has been going up so if you’re considering it you’re probably better off grabbing one now than trying to wait for a deal.
