5/9/2023 0 Comments Instant pot duo plus![]() We also have a 6 quart, purchased for a family member at college. ![]() I purchased this as vegetarians, we we must stick to the 50% maximum fill for foamy foods (grains, legumes, etc.) so a 6 quart model only yields 3 qts of food, which isn’t enough. Meanwhile, keep an eye on this product listing to find out when it’s available for purchase and leave a comment, below, with any questions!ĭear Laura, Please include in your testing and reviews the Instant Pot EIGHT QUART Duo Plus 80 (or other 8 quart models in the future). The Instant Pot DUO Plus will be available for purchase on Amazon around the middle of April – Instant Pot could not give us an exact date since it depends on Amazon puts it in the supply line. I was very pleased to see the inner bowl of this DUO refresh has the correct Max 2/3 and Max 1/2 full markings. We criticized Instant Pot, along with many other manufacturers, last year for only having the max-full line for non-pressure programs marked on their inner bowl – which is a safety issue. Better Inner-bowl with Correct Max-fill Levels So… what about green beans? What about high-acid foods? Should they be boiled or steamed? At this time there are no official guidelines on how to pressure steam high-acid foods vs. The instruction manual is scarce on details on how this works – except for a note that this function cannot be used to pressure can meat. This function is more of a mystery than an innovation, to be honest. Instant Pot DUO Plus Display during “Keep Warm” Press that button one more time for the “Less” option which is better for simmering. Press “Saute'” again and the option is “More” which is better for searing. For example, if you press “Saute”” once the display illuminates the option as “Normal” which is the average saute’ temperature. Now the adjustments are made simply by pressing the program button multiple times. The top row of icons indicates whether: the heating element is on, a pressure cooking program is selected, “Keep Warm” has been chosen or if the sound is on/off.Īll the information the cook needs to know is one place, and this also includes the pressure selected (High or Low) and which option is chosen for a given program (Less, Normal, More) – these used to be under the “Adjust” button. Now the display is a blue/purple background with bright white numbers, icons, and letters. The red ’80s alarm-clock numbers are gone. ![]() The most visible change is that the display has completely changed both in color and with more information. While Instant Pot’s SMART can already do this, the DUO Plus will also have the ability to not disturb sleeping children, spouses or guests. (click image to enlarge) Sound OffĪ popular request from those who have cooking programs that run late into the night, or wee hours of the morning, has been for the ability to turn off all the beeps that happen for every button that is punched in or the 10 beeps when the pressure cooker program is finished. Instant Pot DUO Plus has Egg and Cake Programs – plus a new Sterilize function. The cake program is just a pre-set time and pressure to steam a cake ( like this) – ditto for the Egg program (which you can make like this). Don’t get too excited – this multi cooker can’t bake, yet. Plus this model includes the new program buttons that first made their appearance in the LUX v3 – “Cake” and “Egg” pre-sets. So you can still make yogurt, slow cook, cook at high and low pressure and delay the cooking. The Good Stuff Is Still ThereĪll of the functions and settings that made the DUO a success are still in the DUO Plus. Mid-April Instant Pot will release a total refresh of their most popular best-selling DUO, the DUO Plus! I’ve been playing with it for a month and wanted to share the new features with you.
