  • Hi Guys, today I’m reviewing the Instant Pot Duo Mini. LINK to Instant Pot Mini: amzn.to/2yYTlfs RICE FUNCTION VIDEO: • Instant Pot Mini Rice ... This is the smallest Instant Pot at 3 Quarts. There are 6 and 8 Quart versions. I have reviewed the 6 quart version and a link to that review is here: • Instant Pot IP-DUO60 7... . This 3 quart measures 11.4 inches wide and 11.2 inches tall. It weighs 8.6lbs. The cord is almost 24 inches long. It’s got two handles so it’s easier for carrying.
    RECIPE for similar chicken curry with instructions, just add enough water for Instant Pot:
    • Easy Chicken Curry in ...
    The user manual is very detailed, there are cooking times and water quantity listed. The recipe book with recipes for soup, chili, rice, vegetables, meat, fish, oats and dessert. For Creme Brulee, you can use ramekins and put them in a steam basket. Any oven proof dish can be used in this unit.
    To test the Instant Pot, First I’ll cook rice. When cooking rice, measure the rice and water using the same cup whether it’s your own or the included one. I’ve measured 2 cup of rice that has been washed and soaked in water for 15 minutes. I drained the rice, I’m adding 3 cups of cold water. This is the exact recipe from the recipe book for basmati rice which is a long grain rice. Close the lid and lock. Press pressure cook and set 4 minutes. When the time has counted down, use the natural pressure release method which should take 10 minutes. I’ll time it.
    Now I’ll make a chicken curry. This is a whole chicken cut up and marinated. Press sautee and I’ll choose normal for regular browning, you’ll see hot displayed after a few minutes. Add vegetable oil, cumin seeds, chopped onions, garlic, ginger and green chiles. Turmeric, chili powder, garam masala. Now chopped tomatoes. The tomatoes are soft, now we’ll add the chicken, salt and mix really well. I’ll add water just until it covers the chicken, about 2 cups. It is recommended to add at least 1 cup of water or other liquid so there’s enough steam to cook under pressure.That’s what I would do with a stove-top pressure cooker. Put the lid on. Press Pressure cook and set to 10 minutes. Use quick pressure release. If you want the curry thicker, press the saute button and leave the lid off until the liquid reduces. Add some chopped cilantro and you’ve got curry in 20 minutes.
    When using the saute function, don’t put the lid on. You can however, use a glass lid with a venting hole.
    I hope that you round this review helpful. If you did, please like and share this video. Subscribe and I'll see you next time. Thanks for watching :)

    I'm an over the road trucker and let me tell you the 3qt model is perfect! It saves me alot of money while on the road when it's time to eat and it's alot healthier for me too vs the alternative fast food.
    Totally recommend anybody to get one!

      Andre Tosch, When the bowl is still a little warm take it out and just wipe it down with some sterile wipes. The same goes for under the lid too. And that's it. Done! :-)
      Unless of course you made a huge mess with it. Then you gotta hose it down.

    Extremely helpful video! I bought mine second hand and there was no instruction/recipe booklet (this is my first Instant Pot). Rice was the first thing I cooked, after watching your demo. It was perfect! Thanks for taking the time to explain the Normal and More and how to cycle between them, as well as each step of the process. Best demo I've seen yet!!

    Thank you for this review. I got the Duo Mini for Christmas and I am a little intimidated to use it as I've never used a pressure cooker before. This review gets straight to the point and the live demonstration showing just how it works is enough to put anyone's mind at ease. I'm much more excited to try it out!

    This was so thorough! I’ve been wanting an Instant Pot but lacked the counter space. Since my small rice cooker is on its way out this little IP can take its place. I was worried it would be too small to be useful but I’m impressed at how much you were able to make in there! Thank you for the great video!

    It should be noted that the 'cup' included in the instant pot is the same as rice cooker 'cups'
    These are not American cups. ...but rather Japanese (metric) cups. Which is about 3/4 of our cup in the US.

    To anyone who's considering the duo mini: it gets the burn notice every time I use the sauté mode before using the pressure cook mode. You need to cool down the bowl after using sauté.

    @angelalee7012 4 года назад +20

    Thanks for this! I have been debating which size to buy (3 vs 6) for a two person household, and most videos recommend the 6 quart, which seems excessive for two people who are not meal prepping. Given how much food you managed to cook in the pot, it's clear the 3 quart is exactly what I need.

    When she says turn the valve to sealing, she means ‘sealing’ the pressure cooker. You will find a ‘sealing’ position and a ‘venting’ position. The sealing position allows the pressure cooker to build up the pressure. ❤️
