Instant Pot Duo 6-Quart vs Instant Pot Lux 6-in-1

I also prepare my own versions of TV dinners so I have something ready on days when I don’t have time or don’t feel like cooking. Some people think pressure cooking isn’t safe, hearkening back to the days when the pots sometimes blew up. Instant Pot is very safe; the Duo Nova has dual-pressure settings, so there’s the option to cook at low or high pressure. High pressure reduces the cooking time & low pressure prevents overcooking

I removed the plastic sealing ring from the lid and washed both as thoroughly as possible, wiped the inside of the cooker body, and washed the inner pot of course, but it still remains. 5. The included user manual can be better. It'd be helpful for the first-time pressure cooker if there is a photo to show how it looks when the float valve pops on when working pressure is reached

I have used the saute button which works fairly well especially if wanting to lessen the amount of pots/pans to use. I will continue to try different IP recipes in the 6 qt as long as it continues to work..

The instant pot works great but I order this on line and it came in a 3 days but the box was badly damage and today I started using it and found out the handle was broken badly.

I'm new to pressure cooking, and it makes me a little nervous! But I read a lot of good things about the instant pot so I decided to take the plunge and buy one. I originally bought the 6 qt size and it was too heavy for me to lift in and out of a cabinet frequently. It might have been ok if it was going to stay on a counter and always be out. This smaller size is easier to move around, and since I'm not feeding a family, it's fine for me

The booklet is not really all that handy as I spend a lot of time on line looking for recipes and specific instructions on which button combination to push for certain things but this too shall pass. Overall, it is a nice item. Large. Takes up way too much room to leave out on a counter so if you don't want to sacrifice premium real estate in the kitchen, you are going to need a closet or shelf to put this thing on

I looked it up and that code means the pot has a defect - a faulty pressure sensor. Now it's just a giant paperweight. I contacted IP but because my pot is 3 years old, the best I can get is a 20 percent discount (but not here on Amazon where I shop all the time). It's not worth it

Clean up is also a breeze as the pieces are all dishwasher safe. The 8 quarts is far to big for our family, it’s also too heavy for me to lift, and doesn’t fit in any of my cupboards or pantry, so I’ll have to return it. I am sold on the Instant Pot though, just not this size. I have to have one a size smaller, the 6 qt
