SL –
Read tons of reviews and tutorials, and countless times on the instruction manual and my unit simply failed. Pressure built up to a point – with 750ml of water and 45mins pre-heating/pressuring and after 2 mins ‘cook’ time, unit was set to vent. Valve lowered and proceeded to open, only less than approx 50ml of water left. Something’s broken somewhere and this can be catastrophic if actual cooking had taken place. Checked all seals/o-rings seems ok..might have a hairline crack somewhere.
Please exercise caution! Safety first.

I’m still undecided on the instant pot. My transaction was perfect, item was shipped on time very happy with that part. As for the product itself, I’ve used it a few times and I don’t think there’s really anything “instant” about it. If using the pressure cook feature it takes almost twenty minutes to build up pressure, and then another 15-30 minutes to let pressure out naturally (which some recipes call for). I made a pot roast and veggies and from start to finish it took me almost two hours to cook the meal taking into account the wait times. It makes great food, and I’ll probably use it in the future, but not quite the “instant” appliance I thought it would be. I didn’t expect it to magically cook everything in a few minutes, it just takes longer than I expected.

Instant Pot IP-DUO Plus60 9-in-1 Multi-Functional Pressure Cooker, 6 Qt – I’ve wanted a PC for a long time and have done a lot of research. I was originally leaning towards the PPCXL because that’s what my cousin has, but I did some more research and ended with this one, waiting until the Duo Plus came out. So, since I’m the 4th reviewer, here’s some of the thought process I went through in deciding to get the DUO Plus and also some thoughts on the IP vs the PPCXL and also other considerations on accessories, size, etc. So far, I’ve only had it a few days, but overall satisfied and plenty of online support for recipes and helping you decide the post PC for your needs.
**Why I went with the Instant Pot (IP) duo60 Plus –
Three new preset buttons – cake, egg, sterilize. It also had the yogurt function which other IP do, but not some of the other makes.
Large LCD Screen with Digital Display
Mute button for those beeps in the night when cooking yogurt etc.
Plus / Minus button for both time and pressure
Keep Warm Selector can be selected to on or off at anytime.
Delay start of 24 hours and keep warm for 10 hours.
Lid rest (right or left side)
**Why I went with IP vs PPCXL –
Food Grade 304 (15/8) stainless steel pot vs stainless steel with teflon coating. I felt I could scrub and treat the pot however I wanted and not worry about scratching and what utensils to not use. Yes, you can buy a replacement inner pot for a Teflon pot, but after I spend $100+ I really don’t think I should have to buy a replacement inner pot. Some of the FB group users are fine with the Teflon pot, but there are also a lot of complaints, so it might be in the handling, but every Teflon pan I ever had eventually got tossed out because of the coating coming off.
IP came with some of the accessories you pay for on the PPCXL. It had the trivet with handles, condensation collector, Rice Paddle & spoon and a couple intro guides/cookbooks.
Free shipping for IP. PPCXL site wanted $29.99
Buttons weren’t quite clear on PPCXL site so it made me think they were hiding lack of selection on preset buttons. Also, confusing on what you were buying – regular PPC or PPCXL. A lot of their verbiage refers to PPCXL, but not necessarily when you go select your items for your shopping cart.
Yogurt Button – The IP has this and the PPCXL doesn’t. The IP allows you to bring the milk to 185 in the IP, cool to 120 (I will be using the quick cool method in the sink) and then put in yogurt mode for incubation (8-12 hours). The PPCXL doesn’t have this and you wrap it and put it in the oven.
Warranty on IP is 1 year and I went with the Square Trade Warranty for 4 years for an additional $14.37. No deductible, no hidden fees, no shipping, transferable. PPC has 60 day money back/replacement. After that up to one year you have to pay $24.99 for shipping. Their extended warranty if $15 for 3 years.
Slow Cooker Mode had a low, medium and high heat button.
IP has a + and – sign to increase or decrease the time. Others you have to select a preset and keep pressing to increase, you can’t decrease time.
Overall ratings – IP 4.7 and PPCXL 4.1. I read through a lot of comments by verified buyers and the PPC owners seemed a lot more upset with customer service. I looked through a lot of Reviewers who do this for a living or at least blog and they leaned towards the IP.
I messaged with the PPCXL people online and you can tell they’ve been coached for answers knowing what their down faults are and not really answering the question or referencing what you know is a negative.
There are more IPs on the market and most recipes are geared towards it from a “preset button” perspective.
IP has a left and right handle that will hold your lid tilted.
I belong to a Pressure Cooker group – there are a lot of complaints about other manufacturer’s instructions, quick start guide, etc. Lots of issues with lids locking, not pressurizing etc and I really don’t see this for the Instant Pot family of PCs.
**Sizing –
I measured my crock pot which was 6 quart, so that’s what I ordered. It’s an OK size for 2 people, but since you can only fill it 2/3 full when cooking under pressure you should take that into consideration. I figure on a roast, I will do the meat first, then veggies. The 6 quart will hold four pint canning jars for sterilization.
**Accessories –
What else to buy? I got the OXO Good Grips steamer with extendable handle and a pack of 3-IP Rings color coded (dark for savory meats, orange for desserts and I will use the clear for yogurt). I had read they were dishwasher safe, but not 100% as they might keep flavors.
On my next order I’m looking at 2 cookbooks (IP Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook for $9 and IP Obsession for $12). There are plenty of Facebook Group pages you can join for recipes too and online reviewers. Just type in what you are making followed by “in a pressure cooker” or “in an IP”. I’m also buying IP Silicone Mitts for easy removal of a hot pot since I will be making yogurt ($10).
The only negative of the Instant Pot is you can’t get a 10 quart and if I had a REALLY big family that would be the only reason, but based
on the above, I would probably just buy a 2nd Instant Pot.
I hope this is helpful. I did a lot of research and felt the need to share it. I will update this as I use it and get additional questions.
8/9/2017 update – I’ve been using my IP for a few months now. I use my steamer basket and trivet a lot. I make a “bowl” out of heavy duty foil and put on the trivet when making a whole chicken and it makes trivet clean-up easier. I bought an IP plain glass lid for slow cooker & yogurt mode. I don’t use my extra rings cause I use my plain lid for yogurt, so no use to swap rings. I didn’t get the silicone mitts. I realized I didn’t need them. My inner pot doesn’t get that hot on yogurt mode. I like the 2 cookbooks. I use Bar Keeper Friend to clean the pot. Still really happy with my IP-DUO Plus 60. I’m part of a FB PC group and I don’t see complaints on the IP. Very happy with my purchase.
12/29/2017 update – So on Black Friday I bought the 3 qt Instant Pot because I felt like I need to have twins. It’s a great size and great for
sides and especially my 2 quart of yogurt I make at least weekly, so it doesn’t tie up my 6 qt IP. We winter in FL and I was able to “sneak” the
6 qt into the truck and now I have the 3 qt here too. I made an entire Thanksgiving dinner for Christmas (Irma got in our way last month repairing) in the 2 pots. In future years, I’ll prob just bring the 3 qt cause it fits better in my cabinets in the mobile home.

I bought the 8 qt Instant Pot Pressure Cooker about month ago. I planned to buy Slow Cooker, but I didn’t find such a big size. Now I am so glad I bought Pressure Cooker because it has a Slow Cooker function as well. It’s amazing gadget – one of the best I have ever had at my kitchen. I have 6 (sometime 7) in my family, so, I use it every two days. I already bought the second inner pot to ease my life. I have a problem with my back. But since the time I got the Instant Pot, I haven’t had troubles with my back whilw cooking as I don’t need to stand at my regular pots for a long time. Once you have prepared all your ingredients and put it in the pot, you can forget it while it does everything for you. My parents still can’t believe how fast I am cooking now. I have tried almost all functions (except for Yogurt, Eggs and Cake). Clean up is easy. I like it is stainless steel and not non-stick surface. I would recommend having 2 inner pots (for soup and main dish) to save more time yet. Also, I bought a steam basket. In my opinion it worth every penny you invested in.

Useless product, waste of 15000 rs, I can’t even return it because I’d gone on vacation shortly after it arrived and only opened it after the return period.
This item should not even be sold in India.
Electrical Residential Service –
Iba a comprar la version mas moderna, pero costaba 3800 y algo y SOLO UN DIA bajo a 2999. Al dia siguiente que fui a depositar al banco para comprar la version mas nueva ya habia subido a mas de 3800 otra vez.
Pero que bueno que no compre la version mas nueva, porque la olla me parece mas pequeno de lo que esperaba y la otra olla era mas nueva pero del mismo tamano.
Ahora no tengo que cocinar toda una olla entera de cocido o platillo para disfrutar unas porciones para una comida. Ahora puedo hacer solo para una comida sin tener que hacer toda una olla y guardar lo demas esperando a que TODO se enfrie.
Me gusto, y he ahi los pros y contras:
PROS
Cocina el tiempo de coccion que uno le indique, pero alcanza presion rapidamente y no hay que estar ‘al pendiente’ de la olla a ver si no esta muy alta la flama o la parrilla donde esta.
Cocina por porciones mas pequenas para que la comida este mas fresca y no sea recalentado de un cocido de hace dias que se hizo pero por hacer mucho se tuvo que guradar.
Facil de usar y limpiar.
Incluye taza para medir, cuchara sopera, cuchara arrocera, parrilla para vaporera, instructivo, folleto rapido y libro de recetas.
Aunque no puedes oler cuando esta cociendo los alimentos, al menos que levantes la valvula de presion para liberar un poco de vapor, si vale la pena cocer y cocinar en esta olla por la conveniencia de no estar encima. Si la usas como olla de coccion lenta (slow cooker) o vaporera ahi si podras oler lo que estas cocinando.
Trae funcion de mantener caliente depues de terminar cualquier ciclo de funcion (coccion, vaporera, etc…). Ideal para estarse sirviendo hasta que se acabe para esa comida.
CONTRAS
No trae medida de tazas en el interior de la olla como los modelos mas recientes. Unicamente este modelo trae el limite marcado que es maximo 2/3 de liquido e ingredientes combinado y la marca de 1/2 para alimentos que se expanden como arroz y granos.
Aunque no este muy llena la olla te hace un batidero de grasa al exterior cuando le pones liberacion rapida (quick release). Es mejor dejar que el platillo se enfrie solo sin utilizar liberacion de presion rapida para evitar batidero.
El modelo esta disenado para barras de cocina tipo Americano donde tienen la barra y luego un tomacorriente. El toma debe estar ARRIBA de la olla y el cable de corriente que trae mide unicamente como 60 cm. No se recomienda utilizar extensiones y NO debe el toma estar debajo de la olla.
El recetario trae varios consejos para utilizar la olla, pero las recetas no estan disenadas para platillos Mexicanos. Los ingredientes muchos no encontraran aqui en Mexico y estan escritas por chefs profesionales, o sea, a parte de no encontrar los ingredientes vienen estipulados de una manera muy gourmet para conocedores y a muchos ingredientes ni se les entiende que son. Pero aun asi sirve para algunas recetas que si se pueden hacer en la olla y sobre todo los tips para utilizar la olla. El recetario viene en Ingles.
En conclusion fue una excelente inversion para poder comer fresco y no recalentado, rapido sin tener que estar muy al pendiente como es en la olla de presion normal que tengo; sin embargo, no se deshagan de sus ollas de presion normales. No hay que perder la costumbre y habilidad para utilizar estas y habra veces en que SI se quiera hacer mas como por ejemplo ponches.
El limite a 2/3 realmente reduce la capacidad de esta olla a 4 qts (3.78 Lts) y no 6 qts (5.68 Lts). Si se quiere una capaciad de 5 litros limite compren la de 8 qts de capacidad. Esta se les hara pequena en comparacion con la que tenian. De hecho creo que por eso me toco una que habian regresado. Traia una pagina del instructivo rota y un boton aparentemente danado o maltratado. La olla para poner los alimentos en si no se veia nueva tampoco; traia como puntitos abajo y por eso le puse 4 estrellas en vez de 5 al producto. Nada de esto impide el funcionamiento de la olla y preferi quedarmela a tratar de conseguir otra que de todos modos voy a necesitar, entonces asi fue para mi.

Ok, so I had originally wondered why ‘everyone’ had one of these – I already had a crock pot & a pressure cooker, why get one more thing to store? Then we got a milk goat & the people we bought her from said the instant pot is the only way to make cheese… so I got the biggest one and made cheese. Then it was hot in the summer & I didn’t want to heat the house by running the oven, so I used it for a couple of meals. I like how you can also sauté to brown meat before cooking (best, but I don’t always). I have made rice & baked potatoes in it also. The rice is way better than a crock pot & almost as good as the oven. Baked potatoes are way better than a microwave. It is excellent for cooking whole rabbits (we raise them) – just like a chicken. 6 mins per pound and they are perfect to debone. So, the cons, there is a learning curve for the time varies for it to reach its pressure cooking point so is challenging & not so instant. It didn’t come with a recipe book. Bummer. I have googled recipes & have been keeping notes. It’s so-so to clean; I only remove the silicon seal if it gets dirty. Lastly, it’s big & bulky so I haven’t figured where or how to store it when not in use – right now it is in my laundry room on top of my dryer where I use it. I use it often enough 2-3X a week, so I haven’t found a place for it. Glad I purchased it; I hope it lasts as often as I use it.

I had a IP Duo with the air fryer lid for a while which worked pretty good. I bought an air fryer countertop oven recently so I decided to upgrade my IP too.
I would suggest testing the machine out within the return window and not leave it sitting around… otherwise you’re stuck with an expensive machine that you can’t return if it’s faulty!
I was so excited to try this out but the first IP Pro Plus I received was faulty. It didn’t pass the water test. It was heating and built pressure and locking however the machine just kept reading pre heat and wouldn’t Indicate where it was in the cooking cycle and just read ON. I’m thinking the pressure sensor was broken. I contacted IP to see if there was anything I was doing wrong but no answers. I’m not a newbie with the IP as I’ve used it for years… So rather than wait for a response I just did an easy exchange through Amazon.
I’ll admit, I was slightly disappointed that *gasp* I got a faulty machine and had already gave away my older IP and had major regret. I usually have good luck with my appliances working with no problems out of the box.
Now, I’m not an IP worshipper. I don’t find many of the dinners made in the IP that appetizing because they all look mushy. I’ve tried to be a dump and go slow cooker/IP cook but…. Just not my type of food. I won’t be trying to master a lasagna or a cake in this thing as I can do that in my oven because why complicate things? (Maybe for someone who doesn’t have an oven?) I definitely understand why busy people love it though and there’s nothing wrong with these IP meals. I did try a American Goulash recipe yesterday and that actually came out great.
This IP definitely has its purpose in my kitchen though for things that take a long time to cook. I use my IP for making beans, bean soups, pea soup and for when I’m making Birria or Barbacoa (tough cuts of meat). These types of food take hours on the stove and I can set it and forget it and don’t need to be home.
The replacement was sent right away and I had my fingers crossed. I preformed the water test and it passed with flying colors. Phew! 😅
This model is so shiny and beautiful. I have no trouble seeing the control panel as some users may have mentioned.
I love the touch screen and the automatic pressure release settings! The shiny surface resists fingerprints impressively well. How did they do that?
What initially compelled me to get this was the wifi feature. I could check from my phone the progress of the cooking or even change or cancel if I needed to. I’ve never really needed to do this however… but now I CAN. I’m not exactly sure how much I will be using the app recipes though.
I also liked that the control panel wasn’t crowded with pre sets. I found that in the older models that the pre sets were inaccurate and confusing and I ended up doing the manual setting anyway.
I love that you don’t need to touch the steam valve now! You control it through the control panel.
The first thing I made in the IP Pro Plus was yogurt. I had never made it in my IP in the past (which I was missing out on) It was truly effortless and I will be making it regularly. I just ordered a backup pot for when the pot will be in use because the yogurt process is so long.
So far I’m loving how pretty they made this and it looks high end on my counter and it works exactly how it should.
FYI
*Nutriboost Feature*
I tried this out when I made my beans and the setting is supposed to “stir” the food somehow. I think it boils it in bursts (or somehow?)
So during the last 15 mins of cooking it will start doing the nutriboost process and that will involve the cooker to pulse steam every 5 or maybe 10 seconds for the last 15 mins of cooking.
