Instant Pot Duo Nova 7-in-1 Smart Cooker, 5.7L - Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Sauté Pan, Yoghurt Maker, Steamer and Food Warmer

Product Information

Quick note : I already mentioned the Duo Plus and Duo Evo models in the reviews, so I won’t include them here. If all these options are starting to look the same, and you are overwhelmed by the similar offerings, the models I recommend the most to readers are the DUO and DUO Plus – they are the “active” Instant Pots in my own kitchen. To remove, using your thumb, push the side of the anti-block shield towards the lid rim and lift up.

On some Duo models, the float valve is at the level of lid when the Instant Pot Duo is sealed and below the level of the lid when it’s not sealed. Should you stick with the overly tested and already proven Instant Pot (aka the DUO) or should you try your hands and the newest Instant Pot model (aka the Duo Nova)?It should be removed and cleaned after each use, especially following the preparation of foods that may splatter. In addition, some parts of the rice were not cooked consistently, so there would be rice stuck inside the inner pot - which could have been avoided if the pot had been non-stick. I’d like to use but am afraid something is missing and as I said it doesn’t come with instructions or even if it needs a seal or anything. The Instant Pot Duo Nova is another variation on the classic multi-cooker from this ever-popular brand. You should do a water test before the first use but you can also do it when you’re having problems with the Instant Pot pressurizing.

And 15 customizable one-touch smart programs make it easy to prepare oatmeal, eggs, cakes, beans, and more with the push of a button. The better your problem and question is described, the easier it is for other Instant Pot owners to provide you with a good answer. If you want to upgrade your Slow Cooker, and the idea of pressure cooking does not entice you, GEM is worth a peek. Place the lid onto the Instant Pot base unit with the arrow mark on the lid lined up with the open lock icon that is above the right corner of the control panel. The Steam Release Button is pushed down to lock into venting mode and turned counter-clockwise to seal again.This can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, depending on how much liquid is in the Instant Pot.

Many models also have additional Smart Programs that take the guesswork out of specific items like cake, yogurt, eggs, brown rice, and more. If you’re a novice to the world of the best Instant Pots, or are looking to feed a crowd, the Instant Pot Duo Nova 7-in-1 Cooker could be your best bet. Generally speaking, when adapting for pressure-cooking, the liquid and cook time will need to be cut and adjusted from those of a manual pressure cooker. Pros: It’s a more modern version of the most basic Instant Pot but with a slimmer, fingerprint-resistant body; an easy-release, dishwasher-safe lid; an anti-spin inner pot; and a large control panel.And with its versatility, range of sizes and convenient, one-touch programs to cook just about anything, you can see why.
