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!
+BenJamin Croft Thanks for sharing, Benjamin 😀
BenJamin Croft how easy is it to clean?
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.
BenJamin Croft OTR myself just bought this mini, it says no option for brown rice what are your thoughts?
BenJamin Croft I notice it’s 700 Watts, what do you plug yours into?
Watching 5 years after this video is made and I have to say, yeah this is the best kitchen review I've seen :D

I really appreciate your video. I appreciate that there's not kids screaming in the background that you not stuttering or
making comments like I'm not sure I'm going to try this right along with you this video was excellent you gave me all the information that I needed and there was no annoying distractions I wish everybody did their videos this way perfect job
Thanks for the wonderful comments, Connie 😀
I have a 21’ rv for weekend trips and with little room inside, space is very valuable and this little pot is perfect for me. Cooked countless meals since I have had it. I love it.
Thanks for sharing!
I think this is just about the best review of anything I’ve ever seen on RUclips! Perfectly perfect! Thank you so much!
Happy you liked it 😀

I couldn't agree more. Every step was meticulously filmed and described. Perfect channel name!
At one minute I subscribed. Have watched a lot of instant pot reviews however this is a very professional, no nonsense, clear review of the product. No loud annoying music to distract one from listening to the lady speaking. Best ever review that I have seen to date. 🌲🌝☘️
Thank You 😀👍
Agree! Would like more recipes for the 3qt. Trying to modify the recipe uses beyond my skill.
Thanks. This is the best introductory video regarding the pressure cooker. It is also a unique demonstration of cooking real food. I have seen so many RUclips videos about preparing dog meals with those cookers.
You're welcome! Glad you liked the review :)
Great instructional video .Turned me in to a definite buyer.
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!!
Glad it was helpful 😁
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!
Happy the review was helpful, Diana 😀
Did you start using your instant pot? I love mine!
Thank you for a very concise "get-to-the-point" review.
You’re welcome! 😀
Great review!! I have not unboxed my instant pot duo mini yet after owning about a year because the instructions terrified me, this was very helpful!! Thank you!
😀👍
Best tutorial ever! Thank you.
Thank you I just bought the mini for my sister. I have another 6 qt. Brand. She needed a smaller one. I didn't know about small size portions. This is a life saver video👏
👍😀
I use a similar recipe but add chickpeas instead of chicken and then lastly a can of coconut milk. Amazing!! Lasts me a couple of days 💕
This is one of the best reviews and explanations of how the pressure cooker works!! Love the test recipes too!!
Thanks 😀
This review is very well organized, well explained, well in order, and displayed with great quality video. One of the best product review videos I've ever watched. Incredible job!
Thanks 😀👍
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!
Glad it was helpful 😁
Thank you for this video, I just bought one and I learn a lot better by watching.
👍😁
Thanks! I just got this badboy at goodwill (don't laugh) brand new for 13$ and after a few videos that didn't tell me squat, yours is the best. Thanks. :) Looking forward to getting this bad boy going.
Goodwill finds 😀 Glad the video helped!
My instant pot arrives today, so now I am all prepared. Thank you.
👍😀
I just bought the 3 Qt one yesterday. I didn't get any cup or accessories. I am just getting comfortable with this new appliance. I had a stovetop pressure cooker years ago.
Sold! I bought one mid video, your review was one of the very best I have ever seen, thank you for helping me make a choice :)
Glad I could help! 😀
Thank you for taking time to do the food demo! It was so helpful!!!
You’re welcome 😀
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.
Glad it was helpful 😀
Excellent and informative review. I own the 6 and 8 quart IP, and just ordered the mini. Thanks so much.
Great review, this looks enough for me, definitely going to buy the 3 quart instead of the 6 quart, thank you for making this review.
Glad you liked it 😀
Wow. This is by far the best instant pot review and demo video I’ve seen. So so helpful. Thank you!
Clear, specific demonstration - very informative. thank you!
😀👍
Fabulous review darling, I've just unboxed one of these little gems and can't wait to start cooking with it.
Best instructional video for Instant Pot! It's all about the product including an excellent cooking demo.
+Bridget Ryan Glad you liked the review, Bridget 😀
Mine just arrived today.... hoping for a snow day to try it out tomorrow. Your video is so very helpful!
Glad it was helpful, Paula :)
I have found white rice,brown or wild work great h pot. Have fun.. I love it. Easy to use when traveling hotel or motel, even camping it you have electricity..
Thanks for sharing 😀
This review and showing how yo use it is the best on youtube. Thank you
👍😁
I need to up my cooking game. This looks really good. I've been browsing all the instant pot models, trying to decide which one to buy. I think i've settled on the mini. I have a small kitchen and only 2 people to feed.
Bought through your amazon link, thumbs up for the good review and yummy recipe!
Thanks 😊
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.
That’s why I gave my first two away!!!😵💫 until I discovered it was me doing the sauté improperly…you do not have to cool it down…just turn the sauté off, turn on the pressure cook button, add the liquid you needed to use anyway and make sure to use a wooden spoon to scrape/stir the bottom fond (browned bits) and then proceed from there…I ruined a few roasts till I discovered that that’s why
Best instant pot review ever and thanks for the details
Thanks! Please subscribe if you haven't already :)
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.
Thank you for that tid bit!
I just got my Insta Pot Duo Mini as housewarming present from a friend. I love your video review which is very thorough, clear and answers all my questions. I am now looking forward to trying some recipes. Thank you for posting and keep up the good work!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful 😀
Thank you for explaining the low/normal/more mode; the booklet does not fully explain these. I made steel-cut oats this morning and they were perfect (my first experience with the duo mini). I actually cooked them in a pyrex bowl on the included rack with about 1 cup of water in the bottom. I'm very pleased with this pot.
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
I have yet to cook anything in my new 3 qt cooker, but will be doing so here soon. I love the way you demonstrated how to use the Instant Pot and cooked a meal to show how it looked.
Glad you liked the review 😀
yeah, this demo was awesome; i especially love how you showed all the little steps less diligent tutorialists might skip over, like the float valve dropping, and the timing info about each step was really informative, too. masterclass in tutorial vids right here :)
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. ❤️
Thank you for your informative video. While I have an IP 8-qt. Ultra, my sister has this IP Duo Mini but has never used it. She wants me to show her how to use her unit and this video was very helpful to familiarize me with its' features in comparison with my Instant Pot Ultra.
👍😀
I liked this video. It got to the point right away.
- no extreme amount of time introducing yourself
- no other people and/or pets to create a distraction
- no background music
- no foul language
I hope all of your videos are similar
They are similar, thanks! 😀
I love mine. Just made 1 lb elbow pasta. Delicious! Also made 6 eggs. Both perfection.
Thanks for sharing 😀
Thanks for this! Just got mine from Amazon and can’t wait to try some recipes
👍😁
Thqnk you. Every other videos were suggesting me to get the 6quart. I have a 1.8 l and i just cook half cup rice a day. On weekends 1 cup and we dont usually make a large portion because we only like fresh made rice. Thank you
You’re welcome 😀
Excellent tutorial video. Great to get started….thank you!
Glad you liked it 😁
I scroll through a lot of videos trying to find the perfect video with the right instructions while I came into this one ty so much for describing step-by-step and I patiently waited till you spoke about the pop not about yourself like others did lol thank you so much and thank you for the video and sharing and I'm going to make my first pot roast today isong a instant pot I always use the old pressure cooker which after a while I got serious burns from it but I'm glad I got this thank you
Just the facts. Excellent review. I had the 3 qt for about a month and learned so much.
Wonderful 👍😁
Great review , Thanks for getting to the point and staying on track.
👍😀
Thank you for these very helpful and clear instructions and for including the recipe below the video. That chicken looks delicious
👍😀
Great Intro. My Instapot has been sitting on my counter for months. Going to try it tomorrow now that I've watched your video! Love the demo of sauteing, perfect. Thanks.
Glad you liked the review, Cristina :)
bestkitchenreviews how can I buy this pressure cooker I'm from phippines and how much I'm really interested please need your response
Cristina Liriano, I hope you started using your pot!! I've had mine for almost a year and its changed my life!! I eat so much healthier now. Once you get started, there's almost nothing you can't do in this pot! Join a FB Instant Pot group. Best thing ever!
Thanks Lisa. I made beef stew and it was great! Going to try something else tomorrow! Thanks for the inspiration too. I really need to eat healthier too so this is great info.
Cristina Liriano
I am on Amazon now buying the 3quart one. Between a 3qt and my 6qt...My stove will never get used again!😄 I've even made popcorn in mine.
Extremely helpful demonstration. I think I'll go for it. Thank you!
Very good introduction video to the IP. I liked that you cooked 2 dishes to show us,Thank you so much. The chicken curry looks delicious!
Glad you liked the review, Sharon :)
Excellent video. My Instant Pot is new. I’m not that thrilled with cooking so I wanted this because it was faster. This video helped me not be so scared of it.
Very nice overview/review and your curry looks delish!
Thanks 😀
I have the 8 qt one and notice that I don’t use all the space in the pan, so I’ve decided to buy the mini one for individual meals and my 8qt for family meals.
Terrific review! I wish you did reviews for EVERYTHING! 👍😊👍
Thanks 😁
What an awesome video. Straight to the point and very informative! Thanks!
+Jay_Dub You’re welcome! Glad you liked it 😀
When you cooked the rice, why didn’t you use the “rice” button?
Son Lê Hoàng penaniel foremost primacy
I’m interested to know too!
It took way to long to cook white rice. A rice cooker does it in 8 minutes.
I don't know why anyone would get an IP just to cook rice. Cook it on the stove. I've had my IP for 3 years and have used it for many things, but never rice.
Excellent! In quarantine, we’re trying to cook healthier & with more mindful decisions. I’ve ordered the 3-quart mini! 😎Thank you for your tips💜
👍😀
this was a great instructional video! thank you!
when will this be available in Europe? I live in Ireland and have the big one. I ordered the small one a couple years ago and discovered it wasn't compatible with our voltage but the big one is fine. I had to return the small one. Its the only small electric pressure cooker on the market with stainless steel insert pot. Its the best
Thanks for the recipe! I bought the identical model of Instant Pot, and this was the first thing I cooked, and it turned out perfect!
Wonderful! 👍
Hi can fermant yogurt in the air fryer pot plz let me know
Thank you for this very informative video. I ordered one of these models to arrive next week, and thanks to your video, I feel confident I will be able to use it.
Wonderful 😀
Great review, I really enjoyed it and just ordered one! Thanks...
Wonderful! 😀
thank you for this review! i'm only one person and deciding which size is the best for me, cuz i do want to cook meat in it. now i see how much meat you can cook in the mini pot, i think I'll go with the mini one! thanks again xx
Glad it was helpful 😀
Several comments below I commented that the rice taking 25 minutes unsold me from buying an Instant Pot b/c it only takes 18 minutes to cook rice on the stovetop. Well, I bought the 3qt. Instant Pot anyways. It arrived today and I'm excited to start cooking everything, but rice.
Hows cooking the rice?

Glad it was helpful 😁
Wow. Very good video for the Instant Pot Duo Mini. Thanks for posting and sharing. Good job!
Thanks 😀
Really useful for me, new to the baby instant pot. Many thanks
My pleasure 😊
Very good video. Unboxed Instant Pot Mini, did not see Condensation Collector. Should we order this separately?
It looks like it can cook 4 cups ruce it have more space donit correct?
very good video and good recipe . Is it a special marinade for the chicken . Thank you.
Hi, can you share how you marinated the chicken? The recipe looks great! Thank you
how much is the weight of this pot 3Q I am an old person and I have to pick up and put it in the upper of the counter. thanks for your videos I want to buy one for my soup
Hi, it weighs 8.6lbs/3.9 kg😁
Thank you for the detailed review
My pleasure!
Thank for you video. Love it , and yes very helpful. The whole spices used ¿ Cinnamon , coriander and cardamom? Please let me know and thank you .
Hi Alicia, glad it was helpful. The whole spices are cumin, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. There are chicken curry recipes on my Anitacooks channel. They can be made in the instant pot. Here are some recipes: ruclips.net/video/FxmlFMjZkuY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/kZcyjKnDE7M/видео.html Enjoy :)
While sautéing do we need to keep it below chimney .. if not where would the smoke go... I always wonder this question please I appreciate anyone’s reply
Such a concise review without unnecessary commentary. Thanks for showing the unboxing, initial setup and actual cooking. Great job!
Quick question, how come you used the Pressure Cook button for rice instead of the Rice button?
Hi, thank you for the positive comments! I followed the basmati rice recipe from the manual to see how it would work. You can of course use the rice setting.
Great review. So many questions answered. Definitely enjoyed the efficient presentation and quality production of this video.
Glad it was helpful 😀
I notice for the rice you used pressure cook. What is the RICE button for then?
Hi Ruby, you can definitely use the Rice button. I just followed the exact recipe in the manual for basmati rice to see how it would turn out :)
If you Google "Instant pot perfect rice" you will find the best instructions for all kinds of rice on the official IP website. The Rice button works better for generic white rice, other rice varies in time, which is why basmati is slightly different here.
Excellent review! This is definitely on my Christmas list for me!😀
Thanks 😀
Will this work for one person only?
I wish for softer jasmine rice, is all.
Excellent review! Thanks mucho for posting.
😀👍
Buongiorno ho preso questa pentola ma non c'è il ricettario....😢
What was the marinade for the chicken?
I used a little bit of ground turmeric, red chili powder, garam Masala, salt and vinegar 😁
Thanks for a great video! I'll be watching this video again later in the future while cooking.
Glad you liked the review 😀
Mini has been my favorite for years and I still prefer the mini, I have the 6 mostly for making cheesecake
Perfeito! No meu país essa marca não existe, porém consegui encontrar uma panela importada dessa. Obrigada pela explicação
😀
I ordered the Duo Nova May 2020 and there was NO cookbook and NO utensils were included. Do you know if things have changed since your video?
Hi Terry, yes the Duo Nova does not include a cookbook. It includes 2 sealing rings and a rack. Here’s my review of the Duo Nova if you’re interested: ruclips.net/video/G0HYd8ndFJE/видео.html
