Oh my word how helpful! I got a new 8 qt on Black Friday and was trying to find an instapot recipe and ALL the videos used the manual button and my pot doesn’t have it. I was so confused and frustrated til finding this video. Thx so much.
Thanks for this video! I just got the Duo 6qt v3 and i freaked when I didn't see a "Manual" button! All the videos for recipes I saw used that button and thanks to you, I know what to do! :)
Thanks for clarification on the difference between the two basic versions.
Oh that's why! I got V2! Thanks so much!!!
I as well was confused and sure I missed the button and scrambling for the manual button definition in The accompanied instructions. Thank you for clearing this up.
I just noticed the difference a few days ago after seeing RUclips videos of IP’s that I thought were the same as mine. I got mine as a Christmas gift and I came from Amazon. It’s the newer version but I had no clue. So...thanks for being here for us with all of your wisdom and knowledge!
Those finding this change confusing might want to create an index card with the "this means that" changes on it. Or you could apply temporary, stick-on labels next to the buttons that changed until you get this down.
Nili, Just saw this video. Thanks for replying with the difference between the cancel and pressure cook button. Experimenting every day with the Instant Pot 8qt version 2. I LOVE IT!!!
Thank you!!! It took forever to find the answer! I have the newest version of the 8 qt. I had no idea they'd be different, and my hubby bought this for me for Christmas, so I think he did well! Go hubby! ;-) Thank you, thank you, thank you! All of the videos I've watched say, "Just hit 'manual'..." I didn't have that. LOL
AWESOME!!!
We have both and I can not tell you the mind games it has played on me since I got the new one .. wich I totally thought was the older version because it actually had the ‘Duo80’ on the facepanel as appose to the new version that only has ‘Duo’ .. Loved this video 😁👍🏻 Thxs for the research.
Thank you for this tidbit, I just received one and it was the newer 8qt model and I was wondering where the "manual" button was. Very helpful and clear video. Thanks again!
I looked and also received version 2. Thanks for the update!
V2 pot liner also doesn't have measurements inside, only the two Max lines. I don't mind, especially considering anything that needs to be measured I'd use a measuring cup for anyway. It's just a notable variation. Love your channel and your adorable family!
Yeah, it's pretty rare that I use the inner markings. Now if they had actual cup measurements I know I would use those a lot!
thanks, that was nice to you to explain why some are different. I have a 6qt and I love it. My next dish is going to be stuffed Manicotti with hamburger that you'd use for filled peppers cooked for 20 minutes on manual in tomato sauce, except I'm going to use V-8 juice as I have a qt of it and I like it in the little cans better LOL. They say a can of V-8 gives you veg. requirement for the day. l like it with a lot of back pepper, it's an acquired taste. Hug Ren for me, she's so cute. I hope you are feeling good and thanks again for the video...
THANK YOU!!!I just got one for Christmas and I couldn't understand why my friends were saying just use the 'manual' button. I am so glad that I found your video. Now I know that I have a version 2. You're the first one that I found that truly explains it. Now I just have to practice using the pressure cook option, I almost burned pasta because I didn't understand the difference :). I've made pulled pork using the meat button.
So glad I could help!
THANK YOU for the clarification...I have version 3 of the 6qt and want to avoid error, explosion, and injury so little variations cause confusion and your video has me confidently using my InstantPot! Thanks Indigo!
Glad I could help!
Well that explains why I don’t have the measurements on the inside of my pot. I was watching you unpack your 8 qt pot, as I just received mine today. When I looked at mine was disappointed because my pot did not have the measurements. Still am.
Thanks my friend :-)!! I thought my new version was an old version, but I watched your video and my version in actually the new one... the good thing about the version 1's (older versions) is the recipes are all seemingly written for them.
Than you so much for this clarification with the time display. I have version 2 and I was very confused when watching recipe video that obviously had different model and 6 minutes seem set at 60 because of the location of that 6 on different models.
Hi, I just got what I think was a great deal on the 8 quart V2 with the pressure cook vs. manual button. Amazon's Black Friday deal was $69.95.
So I had to practice my first recipe on my poor family. I say poor because it was terrible. It was a Pinterest pork chop instant pot recipe which called for sautéing the chops then 10 minutes and of course press manual. I almost had a heartattac. I quickly called the company and she said to press Pressure cook. Ok, and here's the BUT, they were dry. I saw the timer after it ended, counting how long the cool down was and after 10 minutes I decided to quick vent. I wasn't sure how much to allow it to keep cooling? Then 3 minutes under the broiler. I'm not sure where I messed up. They were a bone in recipe and about 1/2 inch thick.
Now as a side note I first did the water test and when I pressed steam the KEEP WARM button lit up. It wasn't building pressure. That was really my first phone call to them. I wasn't sure if the man understood me, abut he said I should have left it and it would've started. So I hit cancel
And then pressure cook and it began o build pressure.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME MAKE SENSE OF THIS? Thank you.
Just got the V2 8 quart Duo yesterday. This video helps out alot. Thanks!
Very very helpful video and at the nick of the time- i got instant pot last evening.
Thank you so much and yes it really was helpful, I was not using my IP because of the new change in the buttons , very confusing to me. But your view explained the differences nicely .
Thank you . I didn’t have the manual button and was going crazy! Pressure cook 👌🏽
Thank you so much this was very helpful, you answered my question. I have the newer version and a recipe asked to use the Manuel button I was confuse lol
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much. I called the company right after I watched your water test video lol!!
Used mine for the first time yesterday. Love it.
*I love the instant pot so much! I have made quinoa, chicken, chili, asparagus **MyBest.Kitchen** and yogurt in it so far. The only thing that didn't work great was the asparagus. I cooked it for 1 minute and it was still overdone. It is a timesaver and uses much less energy than my gas stove.*
I just got a second Duo80. The only difference I can see, besides the manuals, is that the liner no longer has measurements- disappointing because they were so convenient. The control panel was the same.
the pressure button alone will not allow for time adjustment.
manual=pressure cook+pressure LOW
then set time
hope this helps
info from Instant pot website
Thanks Nili.
No, Amazon did not price them differently...I order version 1 (according to the picture) and got version 2 according to this video.
Thank you for this! All the recipe vids I was seeing on RUclipsr were calling for the "pressure cook" button and I'm finally (after years of it sitting in the box) using mine. Which is the old one with the "manual" button!
P.S. I forgot to start the Chicken Tortilla Soup this morning in my crockpot and hubby is hungry so have no choice but jump in and start using this thing! Guess that's one way to force myself to do something I've been putting off for years! lol
Thank you, My newer model I received from a Black Friday sale frustrated me with my first cooking attempt by having no manual button.
THANK YOU so much!!! You just cleared so many things up for me!!!!
Thanks so much! Your videos have been super helpful for this newbie!
Interestly enough, I had to exchange my 8 quart due to a minor defect from Amazon Black Friday, I got my replacement today and it ended up being the V2...I am happy and not happy at the same time because even though I have the latest version, the buttons are laid out differently so it is going to take me a little bit to get used to them. Thanks for your videos they’re definitely a help
Thanks. Quick and to the point
Merci je garde votre video précieusement et dire que Jeudi j'avais le choix de prendre l'ancien comme ma soeur et le nouveau en pensant qu'il était pareil je ne l'ai pas utilisé encore c'est une première pour moi et sa fais peur un peu encore merci
thanks,just ordered one for my daughter and we were confused why hers is different
Very helpful information thanks for posting this video !!!
I purchased two from Best Buy from the same pallet and got one of each 8qt. Not sure why they would bother to change when it doesn’t offer any improved features. The V2 has less without the cup markings in the pot...
Don't have it myself (only IP60), but noticed from the video that Adjust disappeared, which modifies programs (cooking temperature or timing, or Yogurt program selection).
It seems to me that Instant pot made it more difficult to figure out what to do.
Yeah... We'll see how it goes!
Thank you so much! So helpful.
My instant pot displays the time differently. For example, instead of reading 240 minutes, it reads it as 4 hours. Anyone else have this?
Yes, the new versions show hours and minutes
Thanks Nili
Thank you. Your videos are so helpful!
Thank you! I was so concerned.
Thank you so much for making this video!!
So on the V2, it says to pressure cook high for say 12 minutes. Put in 12 minutes, but timer never counts down. Help! Wife is about ready to send it back
This was very helpful; thanks so much!
i hate that the inner container of the new version doesn't have the 1-10 measurements! :(
Hi, I cansel any thing and put Presure cook, but it' s do not come, a cook on low???
This was a great help!! Thank you :)
Am I going to choose time under pressure cooker bottom?
Very helpful! Thank you!
I got my new version 8 qt. on sale thru Kohls.com with free ship if you order in-store. Used 30% off coupon. Great deal, in case anyone's interested! Also, the keep warm and cancel are separate now.
This is great. Thank you!
On the 8 qt. Version 2, is the keep warm button supposed to come on when you press the Bean/Chili button?
It confused me are this is a problem???
Thank you
The V2 also has a plug which is removable from the base. This might also help:
instantpot.com/wp-content/uploads/IP-DUO/DUO-V2-Updated-Info-Sheet.pdf
The DUO80 v2 doesn’t have power cord that is removable from the base... and v2 has a red pin unlike the v3 of the 6 qt
Nile: Thank you so much I just got the V2 and was not quite sure about the buttons but have been trying to fell my way through.
Thanks to you I no longer have to guess my way around again thanks you so very much. Oh one small question should macaroni be cooked on low med or more heat my mac noodles were huge when they came out of the pot?
Here are my instructions on how to cook pasta in the Instant pot: ruclips.net/video/XigkzoDL6ic/видео.html
The Less, Normal and More settings refer to the amount of time cooked, not the level of heat. I don't pay any attention that and just adjust the to the number of minutes I want using the plus and minus buttons. For pasta I do 1lb of uncooked pasta, 3 cups of water about 32oz of sauce + meat. Cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes. Just press the "Pressure Cook" button and use the plus or minus buttons to get to 5 minutes. As soon as cooking time is finished do a quick pressure release. You can see me demonstrate all of this in the video I linked to above.
Hope that helps!
I just saw the 6qt. Instant Pot in a store with the "Manual" and "Cake" buttons instead of the Pressure Cooker and Soup Buttons. Is this the newest version for 2019?
We have the newer Duo 6-quart V4 model and when it gets done cooking the L and minutes do not come on - was wondering if I was doing something wrong
It could be that you have Keep Warm turned off. Try setting your cooking program but before it starts press the Keep Warm button. It should have a yellow light on above it. This indicates that it will come on after the cook program is finished
Thanks very helpful.
How do you do s steamed vegetables
really helpful -- thanks!
Got v2 power cord is cheaper and not detachable like my v1. Kind of disappointed..
I have a version 2. Thanks for this video because I can't seem to find anywhere online to explain about the button difference. I think you mentioned using the Keep warm button on v2 for the adjust button on v1. If not which button do you use to adjust the low, normal and more area?
I believe that you adjust between less, normal and more just by pressing the cook program button your using multiple times... Like if you were using the Steam setting you'd press the "Steam" button multiple times to toggle to the setting you want
Oh Gee, I ordered the Crockpot pot. I’m hoping it will be a Great appliance! Have you heard anything about it? I bought it because I have bought their merchandise over the years.
+Donna Killewald I haven't heard much about it. I believe it's pretty new in the market so we'll probably all hear soon what people think of it! Crock pot had to jump on the pressure cooker bandwagon or else Instant Pot might have put them out of business! Lol!
Hmmm interesting and good to know
Oh, awesome! Great info! :-)
Thank you!
My 8 quart I just received looks different than either of these...weird!
You might have gotten the DUO Plus... or maybe the Ultra? There are so many models now!
I see that you're comparing the new to the old but I have the newest one and have never had one before so this sn;t really showing me how to use it
Is there a way to regulate temperature manually in it?
Not on this model. On the Max and the Ultra, I believe, you can manually set the temp on certain settings like Saute but not any of the pressure settings.
I have the 2nd version of the 8 Quart Duo, and I still don't know how to "adjust" the pressure from high to low ? Do I use the pressure level button ? And if so, is that after I press Pressure Cook ? I understand most things are for high pressure, but I need to know for future recipes, just in case.
Thanks. 👋🏼
Yes, use the pressure level button to toggle between low and high after you choose your pressure cooking program ☺️
@@IndigoNili Thank you !! 💗👋🏼
What happened to the adjust button. ?
I don't know! And I can't figure out what people are supposed to press now to adjust between less, normal and more.
Press the button more than once?
You press the button (slow cook, saute, etc.) multiple times to change between less, normal, and more.
@@rampartacademy9273 Thank You! That is what I needed.
Thanks for this video :)
Thanks "sooooo" much !!
How do you adjust the LESS Normal More setting in the version on the right side of the video?
You press the setting button you're using (Saute, Poultry, Meat/Stew, etc.) multiple times to toggle between less, normal and more.
Indigo Nili thank you...can it be done in the manual setting?
I'm not sure to be honest... Any pressure cooking setting (including manual), less normal and more only refer to cook time (not temperature) and that is always customizable using the plus or minus button.
Lids are different
How do I adjust the heat on the saute function on the 8qt-v2? It is always smoking hot! Also, I get the burn message most of the time now no matter what I do. My rice is consistently burning with 1/1 so last time I tried a 1/1.5 and still got it. The rice is done but the bottom is starting to burn by the time the pressure is getting ready to start. The red thing pops up and then 1-2 mins later it gives the burn message.
I would contact IP customer service. Sounds like something is off with your unit!
I figured out the saute' function. You just keep pushing saute for your temperature.
Nili, I have the newer one, 8 qt. My pot on sauté never says HOT. It only ever says ON. It seems to be working just fine. Have you heard anything about this?
I haven't heard about that yet! Interesting!
I tested it again today. I changed the mode from More to Less and the Hot code came up. When it's on Normal or More the Hot doesn't come on. Just says ON. I let it run for 6 to 7 minutes and it never changed from ON. So odd! The pot is working just not the code. I think I can live without it. LOL!!!
Hello I just got the version two 8qt of the Instant Pot could you tell me what this team button is used for thanks a lot
The Steam button is used when you have just water on the bottom of the pot, and then food sitting in a steamer basket or on the trivet that came with the IP above the water. Food should never touch the bottom of the pot when using the seam mode.
Very helpfull thanks

Hi , Nili! Did you say the delayed start and timer are the same?
Yes, delayed start and timer are the same 🙂
Indigo Nili Thank you so much!! I love your videos and you’re beautiful family!! 💜
Hi Nili i have duo 80 v2 should i return it and get V1? please advice ..thanks in advance
+Ruchira Dave No, I wouldn't return it. V2 is great!
okie !! thanks !!
Thank You(
No one seems to have the courage nor intelligence (until here and now) to give a full explanation of the different models be it the older Duo or newer Duo models which have many different buttons. Most of the videos made up to now present the older model and their use for cooking but no one I`ve seen has presented cooking reciepies using the newer model of the Duo and it`s different button display so it get`s rather confusing as it has no "manual" button for example as does the older model. If your all wanting to be "informative" then you should make an "update" version of your presentations to include the newer models as and when they become available. It`s a more professional form of pedagogie if they expect us to use these cooking utensils efficiently and without confusion. Including the Instant Pot model in the title of the video would help a great dealless confusing and time saving. Now where is that "Manual" button she`s talking about, mine doesn`t have a "Manual " button.
The problem is that Instant Pot seems to be releasing a new model every other week! For us home cooks making these videos it's impossible to always purchase the newest model to show.
Any time someone says to use the "Manual" button choose "Pressure Cook" instead.
@@IndigoNili Sure, I expect there will be some head scratching as newer models come to light. However as much as we all appreciate your RUclips vids perhaps it may be possible to mention a link at the foot of the “recipe” videos pointing to your (this particular) video and update this video each time a newer model is available. You could put a list of reference points at the foot of the video mentioning where on the time line to find your particular model and its differences, be it buttons or functions. It would then be possible to add newer models by editing this same video and putting the newer models (mentioning their differences) at the end of the video, and adding it to the list of time line positions on the video. I know it sounds complicated at first view but I`m almost certain you will get many “hits” if you put something of this nature together judging by the number of "Thank You`s" mentioned here below. If you contacted “Instant Pot” I`m sure they would sponsor you to get such a video onto RUclips. It would certainly boost their sales and bring all Instant Pot users in time to the same point, namely your “Instant Pot Model Guide Lines”. I would certainly subscribe to such a video. Instant Pot might even mention your video in their "latest model" documentation. There are some excelant Instant Pot recipies out there only spoilt by users tempting to interpret them using the lastest model Instant Pot which have different buttons than those in these older models and their vids. After listening to your explication from time line 0.25 to 1.39 you can do it, you`ve realy got your head together. Bravo.
