Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Mini Electric Pressure Cooker. Slow Rice Cooker. Steamer. Sauté. Yogurt Maker. Warmer & Sterilizer. Includes Free App with over 1900 Recipes. Stainless Steel. 3 Quart

Every women need one of this on the kitchen. It make your life so easy. Y cook fast and food taste so good. I can do pressure cook my beens or meet . Or i can do sloow cooker my whole chicken. I also can do a stake. It is bigger tian the rest of the insta pot but it worth it .

This is one of my go-to appliances now. It’s great for beans and soups and an occasional meat dish like Rouladen.

Understand what 3qts is before you buy it, it’s not big but not tiny. I feed three with it just fine. It comes to pressure slower than a manual pressure cooker and doesn’t slow cook as well as a CrockPot. I have a zojirushi for rice so don’t use that. I use sear and pressure cooker and it works perfectly for that.

So far it’s easy to use and clean and seems built very well.

Love it! This is a must if you’re cooking for two. I looked all around and this is the only 3qt. Pot that has the features of a slow cooker and a pressure cooker. It’s just my husband and I so the 6qt pots are way too big. This one is perfect and works like a charm. You should buy this one!

This is my wife’s favorite, she is Asian and eat rice daily. It makes her happy and works great. I wanted to like get the best one and spend 300 dollars for some Japanese one but she got so upset because she knows this product well. So this is an Asians favorite and shuts her up so great love it

So far so good!
I just had my Instant Pot delivered! It came very well packaged, very impressive at how well it was nestled into it's box and now I'm reading all the directions. Also there are a couple YouTube host's with tips for new owner/users. One in particular I am now subscribing to with great tips for new users and a bevy of recipes that I'm looking forward to tying. I will up date this review as I begin to gain experience with it's use and will try to share my journey in culinary arts with my new pressure cooker. ☺️

Primera vez que la compro y la verdad quedé maravillada con la rapidez y lo fácil que me hizo el caldo ,se las recomiendo ideal para ese regalo a mamá o abuela

I really love it 😍. It’s make me so much easy the day. It cooks really well, it’s really functional cause it makes my cooking time faster. The size is ideal for my kitchen. And it has a lot of function that helps with a lot of recipes. Really pleased.

If you’re thinking about upgrading, just do it. This thing is so much better than the old one. I’m a short person, so I love how I can actually see what’s inside without having to strain myself.

Very nice cooker and glad I bought before the tariffs. There is a learning curve but I run to u-tube for recipes. The 3 quart size is just right for 1 or 2 persons

I cook rice everyday & curries in this instant pot cooker. Super easy to use. I use the delay button too. It didn't make any noise. It's of good quality and can cook any dish that we pressure cook. Perfect size to leave on the counter. I already have a 6 qt but this is small & perfect fit for the counter.

We ordered the 3 qt size mainly to use as a pressure cooker. There is a plastic "cup" attached to the back which catches moisture. It is removed by sliding it outwards, not pulling it down.

Our first meal was beef neck bones. I set the timer for 3 hours and when it was done the meat fell off the bones while scooping them out. The next night I cooked more neck bones and reduced the time to 2.75 hours and the meat still fell off the bones so cooking various meals will take some experimentation with the time.

When the time you set finishes, it will take awhile for the steam to release before you can safely remove the cover. The default setting is for the cooker to stay on "keep warm" setting. This will prolong the time it needs to cool and vent so I unplugged it when the timer finished. The time it takes to cool down and vent by itself will vary so that should be taken into account if you want your meal ready by a specific time. Bottom line: consider adding 30 minutes + or - for the pressure cooker to vent. If you're not using the pressure cooker mode this won't impact you.

The pot is a heavy gauge stainless steel and the instructions warn you not to fill it more than 2/3 high. It has a ~ 34" SJT rated (water/oil resistant) heavy duty detachable power cord vs. the standard 24" appliance cord which is nice.

The instruction booklet details how to operate it.

I recently purchased the Instant Pot, mainly for making homemade yogurt, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I used Costco milk and shared photos from two different yogurt-making cycles—both turned out perfect!

Here’s my method:
1. Boil the milk using the Instant Pot.
2. Open the lid and let it cool down to 100–112°F.
3. Add 2–3 spoons of yogurt as a starter for the best results.
4. Press the yogurt button again and set the timer for 6 hours.

The result is thick, delicious yogurt every time. I’ve completely stopped buying store-bought yogurt since using the Instant Pot! If you’re on the fence, this is a game-changer for yogurt lovers.

The Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Mini is a good compliment to the larger model. When I use the larger Instapot to cook stew or a whole chicken or something I like to leave it in the pot and just reheat it which means I can't pressure cook anything else. The mini is great for cooking a small meal or warming something up. To make a single serving of rice, for example I'll put the rice and water in a small bowl. Then put the bowl of rice in the mini with a 1/2" of water in the bottom and hit the rice button. I cook a lot of stuff that way so that the mini is always clean and free to use

This company upgraded their pressure cookers. This is my 2nd pressure cooker for daily use, first was Cuisinart, which got the job done, but started to peel the non stick. My new Rio wide can fit 3 tortillas at once to fry, and it can still cook a small serving of beans. It also can handle a 14 lb turkey, if I pull it apart to 4 main pieces. The lid is great and is one piece, aside from a rubber liner, that I never need to mess with. It hardly ever gets dirty, mostly just condensation. The steel pot cleans up well, after 8 months of daily use, no oil stains. I just wish the TEMP and TIME buttons were more obvious or protruding, so I don't have to read. Every once in a while pressing them, or feeling around for the cancel button, sometimes I push my whole cooker a few inches. Buttons could be better. Stir frying works well, but it does have a convex type bulge in the center, so sauce trickles to the edges, which is fine for me. I highly recommend the wide. It has plenty of room to push around stir fry meat so it cooks evenly and fast. I don't need a designated slow cooker anymore because this also has "slow cook" mode. A lamb or Turkey with potatoes comes out easily pulling apart the meat after 4 or 5 hours. Sometimes Pressure cooking compresses the potatoes too much, but slow cook is an entirely different mode and potatoes and carrots come out better in stews. Eggs will stick to pan even with oil, but still cleans well with a good soak. Overall, very easy to clean. The Wide reduces any oil spray splashing if using high heat with some sauces. I actually bought a tiny non-stick cooker, to use for fried eggs and reheating any single serve meals this Rio Wide plus makes. It's giant but feels like very high quality grade metal and parts all around. I use it 5x per week, never a burn issue, even making a small portion of beans. Never any issue with the little pressure apparatus in the lid, and cleans up nicely with just rinsing, and stays there, cannot lose it. Very versatile, not just for stews. Has 3 settings for Heat if not wanting to use the lid and do some pan fry. With oil, the tortillas won't stick. Not just for huge meals.

I’ve been a pressure cooker fan for years and have owned Presto, Cuisinart, and Instapot brands. I am SO impressed with this Instapot’s large size and heat adjustment feature (especially for sauteeing) . It has been super for preparing spaghetti sauce, chili, and soups for family and guests! You can feed a good sized crowd with this cooker. It slow cooks too!
I haven’t used that function yet but intend to.
Easy to operate and clean. It’s heavy, but it has to be; it’s a workhorse.

Our old pot lased many years and when it seals have been replaced several times, it was time to get the next generation of the same brand.
These pressure cookers can be used as a Crock Pot also. As a child in the 1940 I remember the day my Aunt was cooking a meal in her cooker. I was in the yard playing and heard a loud bang and a scream!!!! I ran inside to see what was going on. My Aunt Matt was laughing, a little, and looking at the meal dripping off the ceiling and running down the walls. She was also wearing a good bit of the meal.
The old pressure cooker had exploded!Today you would never see, or hear one of these models blow-up. They are built like a bank vault!!!!! "Git ya self" one!!!!!

Personally I’ve never owned an instant pot and never worked with a pressure cooker so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I bought this because my guy and I work long hours so we don’t always have a lot of time to spend cooking.

Well, I must say, WOW! I made a beef birria last night and in one hour it was all done. I used the sauté function to give the meat a once over and then I switched to the pressure cooking function and added the sauce I made for it. It cooked for 45 minutes, pressure released for 10 and voila, DONE! Probably one of the best birrias I’ve made thus far. So much flavor! I also pressure cooked some beans and those were also done in about 40minutes.

This instant pot is pretty bulky so I was concerned it wouldn’t fit in my kitchen but no biggie I was able to store in my pantry perfectly! Besides the size only made it easy to serve and dig around for the meat.

I have not tried any of the other functions yet but so far I’m loving the pressure cooking function, slow cooker, and sauté function. I absolutely love you can delay cooking also. Overall I am very satisfied!

Me and my family just did a huge PCS move and had to stay multiple nights in a hotel. Knowing how financially draining moves are, I knew I had to figure out how to cook in our hotel rooms. I already own an 8qt pot, so I knew instant pots could cook just about anything. I have a family of 5 and was able to cook a pot of chili (on sauté) and surprisingly I had leftovers. The cooking capacity for pressure cooking is a lot smaller, so I’ve mainly used the sauté feature. It heats up pretty quickly after turning on and makes cooking meals quick and easy. Overall I think this 3qt is small but mighty and can really get what you need done. I’ve seen many people use this for camping, tailgating, and hotel stays. If you’re still thinking about it just do it! I plan on eventually buying the 6qt as well so I have all the sizes for holiday meals.

I have never used an Instant Pot before. But I bought the Instant Pot WIDE because I wanted to do a seafood boil at my office. I wanted to get frozen crab legs and didn't want to wait to thaw, so I figured the wide would fit those the best. I am SO GLAD I went with the wide because it fit perfectly! 4 other people at the lunch have other Instant Pots and they were all complimenting this one and saying how BIG it was. I used the metal trivet to keep the corn and crab legs out of the water while the Instant Pot steamed the food. It came out perfectly cooked after 7 minutes of steaming. I'm grateful 3 of the other Instant Pot users told me how to work the thing because I had no idea how to work it! :)

I don’t have much space on my kitchen counter, so I was debating about whether I should buy a steamer or an instant pot. And I ended up buying the instant pot, because it can replace my rice cooker, and it can be used as a steamer at the same time. And I’m so impressed with it. So far, I have used the pressure cook to cook vegetables and eggs, and it was awesome! It usually takes me at least 30 minutes to cook carrots, now I can do it less than 10 minutes! It is super convenient. My suggestion is to go ahead and buy a new steaming basket because the one that comes with it was kind of useless. And PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and do the pressure cook test before using! It’s very IMPORTANT! Because you need to learn how to release the pressure vent properly! It was kind of scary for me at first, but after a couple times of using it, I got used to it! It takes time to learn how to use it in different ways, but it’s really worth it! FYI, mine is 3 quart.

I’d already experienced the joy of Instant Pots with my 6 qt one, but this “mini 3 qt” one? I HAD TO HAVE IT! The price was great too. Shipping was very fast! Upon opening it, there was a blindingly shiny STAINLESS STEEL inner pot. WOW! So pretty! I downloaded a 3qt recipe book to my Kindle and set at once to making Mac and cheese. Minutes later, total yum. Then, reality…cleaning that shiny stainless steel inner pot. Awful!! Cheese is very difficult to clean from this beautiful pot. I ruined a Scott’s scrubby trying to clean it. I love the Instant Pot, just not the combination of the beautiful stainless steel pot and CHEESE. The only thing that cleaned it was sprinkling in Lemi Shine (used for dishwashers.j It cleaned beautifully as you can see in picture #1. I ordered another inner pot for my adorable mini…this one non stick! (Picture #2) Yes, I recommend this sweet pot…perfect for 1-2 people, or for sides. I love it, just be aware that cheese will not please in the shiny stainless steel pot. I’m sure it will be fine for other foods…bean soup, chili, cakes. My little mini pot so adorable and fast. It is great and perfect for me.

I already have the IP DUO60 9-in-1 and have that top review for that product if you need more information than what's listed here.
In that review I write a lot about my buying process and why I bought the IP over other brands.
So, I've decided to stay with the IP line and bought the 3 quart. My Mom has 2 sets of real twins, so this is my version of twins.
First, it was a great price on Black Friday. I tie up my 6 quart a lot with yogurt that takes 12 hours to make,
then I put the inner pot in the fridge for a good 6+ hours. I also do a lot of batch cooking a couple of days a week,
so I figured it warranted a 2nd pressure cooker and since it was on sell.....well, there you have it.

It's probably not big enough to cook a chicken, but I can make my 2 quarts of yogurt in it and whatever sides.
The 3 quart doesn't have as many preset buttons as the 6 quart.
No multi-grain, sterilize, egg, bean/chili or cake but we know those are just presets.
It's time that matters. The 3 quart has the low and high pressure and less, normal and high.
The two photos I've attached is the 6 and 3 quart side by side and the front of the 3 quart showing the preset buttons.

I have the IP 3 quart for a lot of reasons I have the 6 quart. It's just a little smaller and now I can take it to Florida
where we winter and it actually fits in one of my mobile home cabinets.
It's a great addition to the "family".

I received my 3 quart instapot Duo Mini pressure cooker last night. It came nicely packed with 2 utensils, the stainless steel insert Bowl, and cord along with a recipe booklet and all the instructions. Originally I had bought the 6-quart instapot and I sent it back because I felt it would be two large and bulky for my needs and I'm glad that I did. I love this little 3-quart instapot and it's perfect for just one to two persons quit. I did the test to make sure that it worked properly which it worked like a champ. So I decided that since it took me awhile to read up all the instructions and get familiar with the instapot I just decided to do boiled eggs. So I put one cup of water in the stainless steel bowl, inserted the steamer basket that was included in the purchase, and put 6 eggs all around the steamer straight from the refrigerator. Then I close the lid made sure the pressure valve was closed and pushed Steam and then push 8 minutes to steam. While it takes a few minutes for the instapot to heat up, then it doesn't take very long for the eggs. I waited until the steamer pop up came to the top then I release the valve for the Steam and waited for all the steam to be removed. Then I carefully opened the lid and used a utensil to put my eggs in a bowl of ice water and let them sit for a few minutes to stop cooking. I have to say that peeling eggs has never been easier! I like my eggs hard-boiled and believe me they were! They were perfect! I would definitely recommend this for those people who are intimidated by the 6 or 9 quart instapot and maybe cooking just for themselves or maybe just for two people. This little pot is big enough. It comes with the recipe book but I really don't see any recipes in there that I really want to try so I'm just going to be searching the internet for free recipes because I don't want to spend a lot of money on a recipe book with recipes that I don't want. This way I can pick out the individual recipes that I really want to try. And I got this little instapot because I want to eat healthier lose weight and at the same time stay out of the kitchen as much as possible. I have a bad back and have had knee surgeries so standing is very difficult for me and this little pot will make it easier for me physically. I can spend more time exercising and doing other things.

I use this for everything! How did I live without this before???

I live in a Sprinter van full-time and was using an induction burner for cooking, but since I've gotten this little gem, I haven't used the induction burner once!

This is so easy to use, and it's the perfect size for one or two people. I've been making a lot of stews, and I'll saute the onions, carrots, and meat (if I'm using meat) then add everything else, seal it, and set it for 7 minutes on high pressure. I let it release naturally and have a perfectly cooked, tasty meal every time. This gives me enough for 4 or 5 servings.

I also quick soaked beans the other day by covering them with water, hitting pressure for 5 min. then letting it release naturally and let it sit (not on keep warm) for a couple of hours.

I'll often make dinner right after I reheat my lunch, and make sure the keep warm function is on. I'm able to drive with it in my sink and have a hot, healthy, delicious meal waiting for me when I'm done driving.

I've even baked banana bread in it!!! So exciting, because I don't have an oven. It turned out SO good! I used one of the containers and the lid from my To-Go Ware stainless steel lunch container to bake it in on the rack.

Because this cooks so quickly, it is very easy on my solar system. I can reheat leftovers on saute in 4 minutes, and it's only drawing 67a while it's on.

I did have a VitaClay, that I absolutely loved for making beans, and especially bone broth, but it takes much longer to cook and is heavier. So, more battery drain, more storage space, and more weight as compared to the Instant Pot Mini and the Mini wins on each count!
