Duo 7-in-1 Electric Multi-Cooker 5.7L - Brushed Stainless Steel, Large Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Sauté, Yoghurt Maker, Food Steamer Pot and Food Warmer, Dishwasher Safe

Having decided to wait to order the new instant pot I await with anticipation its arrival and having never used a pressure cooker I look forward to learning all its different functions. In the meantime I have been making yogurt, cooking one pot meals and reintroduced vegetarian meals for the family. Last night I steamed three christmas puddings which were not cooked until 2.30 am.This is where I am hoping that the instant pot will come into its own allowing me a much faster cooking method and a saving on the ever increasing electricity bill. I will update this review as soon as I have tried all the functions of the instant pot. Update 25\1\14. Thank you so much to Instant Pot, ordered on a Tuesday received on Friday delivered to Ireland, before due date. Thank you again. For me it has been a great learning curve, I have never used a pressure cooker or rice cooker before. Yes, I was nervous starting off, I have made mistakes but am enjoying the learning curve. I started with the Initial Test Run as recommended in the user manual, everything worked out great. Straight into a recipe from instant pot site, Arroz con Pollo which I made with pieces of turkey breast, the taste was superb, the turkey done to perfection. Next I tried steaming some straight from the trees cooking apples for canning. After two minutes the over heat display came on so I vented the Instant Pot, the apples were cooked perfectly,there was nothing stuck to the end of the pot, yet Instant Pot detected the lack of liquid and did what it was suppossed to do, my pot talks to me and I can assure you it never said anything bad about my culinary skills. Next I tried making yogurt, boiled the milk in the jars, let it cool to correct tempereture, added starter yougurt and probiotic, 6 3\4 hours later yogurt was set, it normally takes 8 hours in my yogurt machine. Boiling milk for yogurt on the hob always results in milk sticking to the pot. I find the saute function is excellent with the added benefit after 30 minutes you can press saute again and keep going if cooking in batches. What I especially like with this type of cooking is all the nutrients and vitamins from vegetables are incorporated into the rest of the food whereas usually water from vegetables is discarded, carrotts, celery brocolli, parsnips taste amazing compared to those boiled on the hob. Slow cooked Irish stew tasted so much better than usual with the family asking what I did different, I said I used Instant Pot. Chilli Con Carne, with beans soaked overnight was a feast compared to hours of cooking beans on the hob. I also tried the Perfect Brown Rice from the recipe book and indeed it was perfect, it did not even begin to stick to the pot. In the ten days or so since I started using Instant Pot I have used my oven once to bake oat cakes, all dinners were cooked in the pot. I do a lot of baking so I am looking forward to expermenting with Instant Pot for cakes etc. I did buy the extra pot and lid and think its very versatile ie dinner resting in pot and making yogurt in the other one. The lid is great with the slow cooker allowing you to see if you need to reduce temperature. I tried steaming some vegetables but they took longer than I thought to cook, I placed a glass bowl on the rack, I think the problem is that the end of the glass bowl I used was very narrow. If anyone has purchased a steaming basket I would really appreciate your thoughts on how they work, what quantities you can use and is it possible to cook something underneath the basket. So far I am really enjoying using the Instant Pot, I can see it will be invalible at christmas when I will have people staying. My advice from my experience so far is this is a great product, I am by no means an expert but cooking is a hobby for me, the food tastes amazing compared to conventional methods and it greatly reduces the clean up afterwards.

I bought the instant pot DUO 7 in 1 during the Black Friday sales because I wasn't sure I really wanted to spend a lot of money on a electric pan. Just days after arrival I realized it makes cooking much easier. I did use a pressure cooker on my stove fairly regular though. The pot comes with an EU-plug and a UK-plug. The manual gives step by step advise on how to use it for the first time, how to prepare each different dish and if you cannot find it in the manual the internet is full of great ideas. The downside is that you can only make one pot dishes, by buying a second inner pot this problem sort of goes away. For example, I now prepare my stew in one inner pot, when it's ready I set it aside and cook either the rice or the potatoes. (This might just be a problem because I have a small kitchen and I cannot use my stove and my instant pot at the same time due to the size of the instant pot.) I love how easy it is in use, after two times I got the feeling of how to use all the buttons without the manual. The only thing I haven't tried yet is making yoghurt. Preparing rice the perfect way I find the hardest thing to do. Maybe I haven't tried enough. Making bean dishes has never been this easy without letting them presoak. I highly recommend buying an extra inner pot and a glass top. It makes using the instant pot easier. Sorry for any mistakes in writing. English is not my first language.

The Instant-pot is truly a great addition to my kitchen, first meal was a prawn risotto which was fantastic, have cooked many other meals since and have all tasted delicious from the pressure cooker, it also makes great rice! Highly recommend as I'm thoroughly enjoying this convenient method of healthy tasty food! Get one and you won't regret it!

I would have given this 5 starts except that I made a batch of yoghurt in it yesterday and it tastes of chickpea curry :( It is all well and good advertising that this pot does it all, but if one use ruins the next then it is not fit for purpose without providing a second silicone seal so that you can change the seal for savoury and non-savoury foodstuffs. I have now had to throw that away and buy some more seals for the future. Apart from this, as a gadget it works very well and has replaced more than one item that I was previously using (although maybe I won't get rid of my yoghurt maker just yet!). Great to be able to saute in the pot as well as pressure cook in it.

Ich habe meinen 6-Liter-Instant-Pot bewusst mit diesem kleinen Exemplar ergänzt. Die Qualität und Verarbeitung ist genauso hochwertig wie beim großen Bruder. Von der Größe her eignet er sich super für Beilagenkartoffeln, Reis oder auch Bolognesesauce. Was den Instant Pot an sich angeht, bin ich restlos begeistert und habe die Investition bereits mehrfach drinnen, da ich mir viele Bestellungen beim Lieferservice gespart habe. Weil man oft einfach nur Zutaten in den Topf geben muss und ein paar Knöpfe drücken, kann ich mich deutlich häufiger zum Kochen motivieren. Den Herd selbst schalte ich nur noch selten ein. Ich ziehe den original Instant Pot billigen Nachbauten vor, weil er einen Edelstahl-Innentopf hat und nicht wie viele Nachahmer einen aus bedenklichem Aluminium. Topf und Deckel können problemlos in der Spülmaschine gewaschen werden. Es sind tolle Zubehörteile dabei wie beispielsweise ein hochwertiger Reislöffel und ein passender Schöpflöffel für Saucen. Jederzeit gerne wieder!

J'avais déjà le 6L dont je suis ravie, utilisé pour pratiquement tous les repas. Celui ci sera un cadeau pour une famille plus grande. Je ne suis pas une grande cuisinière et grâce à lui j'ai pu faire des plats que je n'aurais jamais osé faire (daube......) la viande ressort toujours très tendre. Ma soeur qui l'a aussi fait souvent un poulet entier dedans et c'est toujours top. Je me sers souvent du mode steam (cuisson vapeur) c'est très rapide et le gout des aliments ressort bien. Vous ne serez pas dessus du popot ^^. La cuve en inox un rêve. Et vous trouverez un groupe facebook en français qui vous donnera plein d'idées recettes et de petits conseils pour vous aidez. on peut adapter tous les livres de recettes des robot cuiseurs.

Da quando e’ Arrivata non faccio altro che usarla! Posso dire con una sola parola che e’: MERAVIGLIOSA!🤩peccato non averla scoperta prima......ho una famiglia numerosa e sono una donna che lavora.... mi piace cucinare in modo SANO e SALUTARE e.... questa Istant pot ti permette di cucinare in poco tempo , stando anche fuori casa...E’ RIVOLUZIONARIA .👏🏻🎉
