Excellent bit of equipment
Fantastic cooker. Seems to have all the bells and whistles. We only use it for rice, literally press the automatic button and it gets working away. Glad we spent a little more on this, it is way better than cheap cookers with only a heating element. Good purchase.

brilliant
This is so easy to use . Have not used a slow cooker or pressure. cooker in Years. I BOUGHT THE 3 LITRE which is more than enough for two people .Its very quick and very quite to use . The inside bowl is stainless steel which has a maximum marking on the side of the pot. It also has quick steam release knob.

Very happy so far ideal for 1 or 2 people
I'd wanted a pressure cooker to cook pulses, as I find the canned variety overcooked and mushy, and for faster cooking of soup stews etc. Then I discovered electric multicoookers and though oh yes. Then I discovered that I really needed 3l for one person or would be cooking much larger quantities all the time. The Duo mini came well recommended but I decided on Duo Plus because it's apparently is better at slow cooking and has a better, possibly safer, lid and I liked the programmes. So far I've cooked brown basmati rice and lentil soup. Rice a little chewy needs more water than recipe suggests, soup was perfect. It makes 3 portions at recommended levels and is pretty quick to come to pressure and cook, also to release steam naturally at end. About to braise (slow cook) red cabbage and I can't wait to use the sous vide, another reason to buy this model, and the yoghurt maker. It says there is no bean/multigrain setting on this model. but I do have that on mine.There are plenty of recipes one can adapt, by halving 6litre recipes but cooking for same amount of time. Also the minimum amount of water needed is 125ml, according to Instant Pot Web site site. It would have been good to have a recipe book included rather than having to download from Instant Pot website, along with the timing chart for cooking all sorts of foods but the information is there and it's metric.Apart from being faster at cooking for many of the foods I cook, I like the set up and leave aspect, I don't have to keep checking and stirring, and if I'm working late I can set the timer and the food is there ready for me. I hope it'll save on fuel and ingredients costs as well.Cons: the right accessories are hard to find for this size, and no air fryer lid for this size either. So sad!

Easy to use
Initially tended to burn at the bottom so I started adding more liquid when I pressure cook and it's fine since

The single best kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned
The instant pot is so ridiculously useful and helpful that I don’t even know where to begin. It cooks things so perfectly and easily, meat comes out tender and delicious and it makes the best boiled eggs every time. If I want a quick dinner I can still manage to knock up something delicious with barely any thought or effort.

Super mini pressure cooker.
Apart from being super cute, and fitting in the bottom kitchen cupboard when not in use (which is not often), it retains all the functions and versatility of it’s larger siblings. Perfect for two and the smaller kitchen.Easily holds a 1.5kg gammon joint and copes with recipes for 4 portions without issue.One drawback is the 3qrt trivet doesn’t have handles, but just use a foil strip to lift things out. You will want to buy basket inserts anyway and these will most likely solve this issue.

missing related labels
The small (3L) item is good as the biggest "brothers".the problem is the labeling is not accurate with functions.some of the labels related to the other models are appeared , but missing labels related to this specific model.

Fantastica - e dire che sono sempre stata contraria alla pentola a pressione
Sono entusiasta dell'Instant Pot. Ho usato praticamente tutte le funzioni con successo (talvolta cambiando i tempi di di cottura seguendo la tabella del manuale o altre ricette trovate in rete. Come pentola a pressione mi pare perfetta, anche nella possibilità di selezionare tempi di cottura e tempo di rilascio della pressione per completare la cottura in modo dolce (legumi, carne). La funzione yogurt si può usare per reidratare i legumi secchi che sono pronti da cuocere in un paio d'ore anziché in un giorno (si possono cuocere anche senza reidratare, a onor del vero) e si cuociono rapidi e perfettamente dalla lenticchia al cece. Sempre con la funzione yogurt l'impasto della pizza lievita che è una meraviglia. Ho fatto un ragù perfetto con la funzione slow cooker e le patate si cuociono rapidamente e senza spaccarsi. Sono davvero entusiasta e mi pento di non aver acquistato una pentola a pressione prima!

Sorprendido.
Sorprendido ya que cumple todas mis expectativas, lo mejor he podido prescindir de la vitroceramica ya que cocino todo en la Instant-Pot.Al ser el modelo de 3 Qt cuesta un poco encajar y desencajar la goma interior. Al principio me costaba encajar la tapa, pero ya no me ha dado la lata. Para una o dos personas está bien es el modelo ideal, en cambio para cocinar grandes cantidades quedaría pequeña.El arroz de sushi sale perfecto, hay que poner una medida y media de agua por una medida de arroz. Me falta por probar el modo de cocción lenta. Pero el modo saute y el express son los que más he usado. Echaría en falta accesorios incorporados como los de sus hermanas mayores.Por el momento me parece que es una compra muy recomendable.

Great!
When the manufacturer says "Change the seal every couple of years" you know exactly that the product was designed to last.It's easy to use, versatile tool to cook tasty meals with minimal effort. In case you're not sure whether you need it: yes, you do :)

Magica
Finalmente posso sbizzarrirmi con tutte le preparazioni che, temendo la classica pentola a pressione, non ho mai provato a fare. e molto altro: con IP faccio yogurt, risotti (e...si sono buonissimi!), soffritti, cottura a vapore...chi più ne ha, più ne metta! Sono super soddisfatta del mio acquisto! Consiglio la misura piccola come la mia (3L) se si cucina per 1-2 persone, è ideale. Peccato solo che i set di accessori vengano fatti per i modelli più capienti.

Uso diario
La uso casi todos los días, sobre todo para hacer legumbres, arroz, patatas, carnes de cocción larga. Hay muchas recetas disponibles (sobre todo en inglés) en la red. El yogur de la IP es facilísimo de hacer y sale de 10. Definitivamente recomendada. El tamaño para una o dos personas es perfecto.
