@@jaymeeification I’ve gotten a couple “burn” messages when I was making chili a couple times but I was able to finish cooking it after stopping, quick release, stir and restart. Other than that, no.
We got our duo evo + pot a short time ago and began to seek youtube help in learning how to use it. After watching several vids and still uncertain as to how we can use the pot (too many unanswered questions) we found your video and I must say you did an outstanding job of explaining the pot from start to finish. Many THANKS Jeff!!
Thanks for showing me how to adjust the temperature level. I have had this Instant Pot for a little bit over a month, and it's frustrating not knowing how to reduce the heat level from high to medium. No more, thanks to you, I just learned how. Thanks a million!
Santa brought me a Duo Evo Plus with EVERY ACCESSORY KNOWN TO MAN! Love your review. I've watched dozens of youtube vlogs to get comfy with the whole pressure cooking thing.
One thing that’s nice about all the different settings, like the different rice varieties, is that you can adjust the default time for each one and it will remember that setting next time. So if you have a time for brown rice that’s different than the Instant Pot out of box setting, once you adjust it you won’t have to adjust it again. That makes the presets on this machine more useful because you can use your preferred times.
I'm losing my mind over this instant pot and even more so about how enthusiastic you are about this! I found your vid while searching for a good instant pot for college and I think I've made my choice thanks to you! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this amazing video. I just received one for Christmas and was totally confused by the "manual"!!! It was not helpful, to say the least. You have made it so easy to understand and I can't wait to wow my family with some good food. After years of using the old fashioned pressure cooker with not settings and praying the thing didn't explode, this is a dream come true.WOW!!!
I've been researching all night, but your video sold me on buying this model. Thank you so much for your in depth review and actually showing how to actually use the pot, + UI.
Well done, I just purchased my Duo Evo Plus yesterday. Your video makes it so much clearer than the manual. Thanks so much. I'm a novice and now i'm ready to go. Thanks for your clear concise and detailed explanation. K
I just received this IP model and then your email came today which was perfect timing. The tutorial was great! Thank you so much. I love you almost as much as my instant pots. Can’t wait wait for your cookbook! Keep on cookin.
Thank you for a great review. I went out to Bed Bath and Beyond today and bought this beautiful Pot. I used a 20 % coupon also. The first thing I fixed was Extra meaty port ribs for Albertsons. Used the Pressure Cooker function. OMG, they were awesome.
I've watched several videos about this particular Digital Pressure Cooker / Multi-Cooker, and this has been the best review of the interface and features. Thank you!
I just got this for Christmas and started looking up recipes and it seems like everyone has a different model on these recipe videos and so I directly looked up this model and your video came up and now I feel like I got the best model possible!! Thank you
I found this on clearance after Christmas sale at Meijer $69.99. I bought one for myself and for my mother. I absolutely love using my new instapot, it's so nice and easy.
Question.....What do you use your 3 Qt for? I was thinking about one but then I thought being you really can't fill it all the way up how versatile would be.
Mike F I’ve actually made some of Jeffrey’s recipes. Just tweek the portion to suit you. I make all my veggies, soups, etc. pretty much every meal but smaller portion.
Thanks for your extremely helpful video. Just got our Duo Evo Plus with the plan that I would be able to start pulling my weight when it comes to meal planning and cooking. After finding a recipe to try and prepping the ingredients, I realized my new and just out of the box Instant Pot was not so completely intuitive as I thought (and maybe just a bit intimidating). Certainly, it is easy to use, but I found your walkthrough of the basics to be what I needed to get started. Dinner was a success. Great video! Well done.
Wow! Yes! What a wonderful review! Your knowledge and energy are perfect. Got my Duo Evo Plus today and you have made me feel competent and comfortable to use this bad boy!
THANK YOU for this review! I had just bought my first IP and had been using it for a few weeks. I was not really happy with the bottom of the pan - it didn't seem flat to me and I kept getting 'burn' indicators (I'm not a novice to pressure cooking although using an *electric* model is new to me). I was still in my return window so today I sent it back and picked up this model. I will start using it and see how this one goes, but it looks promising. I think I will try browning on my stovetop. Also, that removable grate is for you to put ice in to have another way of doing a QR, one that is maybe a little less hard on the food (a steam-release QR can cause beans to lose their skins for example). I'll check it out. Thanks again!
Karen Shaffer I had the same problem but then realized that the bottom of the pot always needs a minimum of some type of liquid to keep from burning once set to pressure cook. Sautéing doesn’t require the minimum water level, but cooking does. This helped me a lot.
Thank you for such an informative and easy to understand video on how to use the Duo Evo Plus. This is my very first instant pot and I am ready to go. Again, thanks for posting!
I love my Instant Pot. Last week I made a double batch of soup for a large group of people. I made one batch in my Instant Pot and it was good soup. The other batch I made simultaneous using my Fagor Duo stovetop pressure cooker. It was just as good. The stovetop cooker doesn’t have any bells and whistles, obviously, but it cooks just as well.
Thank you for your review. I was thinking about either the evo or the max. Your comment on the touch screen sold me on the evo. So glad because I love it. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
This really looks amazing. I only have the ultra, but it seems like the main difference between all the different models is the interface. This one solves so many of the real design problems: mainly the inner pot, the venting, and the lid stand. And they’ve even perfected the interface. Can’t wait to get one!
Jeffrey, I didn’t go through the 484 comments, but in case this hasn’t been mentioned! That plastic lid comes off so that you can put a QuickCool Tray accessory (sold separately) that you fill with ice. It helps reduce the natural pressure release time up to 50% faster.
I just got this model yesterday and so glad I found you. This video reassured me I made the right decision (confusing to an IP virgin with so many models to choose from!) and got me excited about opening the box and COOKING! Will be following you and trying your recipes. Your pot roast will be my first; looks sooo good! I love how concise and fun you are. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you for this great review! I just received an Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus for Christmas and was a little intimidated by all the features and functions, that is, before I watched your very helpful review (tutorial).
Alright, you won me over. I was initially thinking "man this is overly wordy", and yet the further I got into the video the more I wanted all of those words. Thank you so much for all the tips, I learned so many excellent tricks!
This is my first Instant Pot which I purchased based on your review and love it. It seems that all the reviews miss that this IP has 1200 watts of power versus the older models' 1000 watts.
Thanks for this. I got this model for Christmas, it's my first one. I didn't know about the cap for the steam release. I just looked in the box and there it was! This video was so helpful.
Agree💯%! My previous one went out and I was shopping online. When I saw the handles and the bigger canted screen, I was sold. I made your Best Ever pot Roast Christmas morning. One hour and a 3.0 lb roast was falling about. Loved the foil wrapped vegetables, and the au jus gravy. I’ve mastered risottos now. I’ve made butternut squash risotto with one spoon of peanut butter which I learned from Thai friends, gives the butternut squash another level of delicious. My next project is honey mustard pork tenderloins. Glad you reviewed this. It’s simply the best!
Just bought my first Instant Pot, which is the Duo Evo. Thank you for the easy to understand instructions. Their videos on the Instant Pot website weren’t very easy to follow. Great job!
I did the research and I just ordered a Duo Evo Plus, then , I find your video and I have to tell you, great video , very informative thank you. The other models have lot of features too but the handles on the pot sealed the deal for me
I have it and I really like it. It is just missing a Teflon version (I have an extra inner pan but it's also stainless) and a sealing lid to put it in the fridge/freezer. I love to use it on my induction stove when I need browning or if I want to fry something quickly before putting it in the machine, as the instant pot takes a considerable time to heat in comparison with induction cooking. I use the sous vide cycle more than anything, unless if I am in a rush. Even to make things like rice it's great to set it to 95 Celsius and let it go for an hour or so. Nothing gets burned or overcooked this way and you can also mix some cauliflower rice if you want less calories etc. I am really happy with it.
I just ordered my Duo Evo Plus today - can't wait for it to arrive from Amazon in a couple of days. My first recipe is going to be your meatballs and spaghetti. I love all your videos and recipes. This new IP is an upgrade from my Duo that is a few years old and well used and loved.
My first instant pot is the Duo Evo!! I love it!!!!! I can't comment on the others? Because like I've said the Duo Evo is my first purchase. I'm looking today to make pork steaks 😋 in it!!! Great video!!!!
One of the things I'm happy about is that (from what I understand) since the bottom of the pot it flat, when I saute my oil will cover the entire bottom and not flow down to the sides. Yay!
Just bought the exact Instant Pot you reviewed! I don’t read manuals, unlike my wife, it will be hilarious to use it out of the box. Awesome and clear review! TY!
I ordered the evo yesterday. I've been wanting an instant pot for a long time, but I finally decided to get one lol. Also, just ordered your book on Amazon just now! Love your video! It was very informative!
Hi Jeffrey! Love your videos! So helpful. I just ordered 2 copies of your cookbook, 1 for my daughter who struggles learning how to use her instapot. Be safe and keep on bringing us great content!!😊
The custom temperature also goes low enough to make small batches of cheese in the yogurt function. makes it nice when you need to keep an even temp for long periods of time :)
I never used a pressure cooker-let alone a 'fancy' electronic one. I just bought this model based on your convincing review along with American Kitchen's one which reverberated the same thing. I am so excited while I await delivery in two weeks. I hope I can cook good food with this and not blow up the house with it! XD
Thank you so much this was very informative ! I was lost trying to use this for the first time . Your instruction and info was perfect ! Can’t wait for my carnitas to be done !!!!
I had the duo sv, and my hubby dropped it, and it broke 😥 I've been waiting for a replacement as it was covered under warranty. However as it's still out of stock, so I just got upgraded to a duo evo plus free of charge!! I'm a happy girl 🤩
Thank you so much Jeffrey. I really appreciate this review and all of your recipes. I just put in an order for 8qt evo duo plus. I’m upgrading from 6qt duo. Can’t wait for my new toy to come in.
3:12 "...even though it's not going to be a true sous vide experience because you really need the water to circulate for that to happen...". Actually, since it heats from the bottom, you don't need a pump because the convection will do. The Sous Vide Supreme uses that same method. Whether the temperature is going to be precise enough is another matter. Looking forward to that being tested. Great review though, thanks!
Thank you for this great review. I am dutch en there is an english user manual in the box, but no Dutch. It's complicated for me. But you helped me in a fantastic way and convinced me to buy this great Instant Pot the Duo Evo Plus. I am happy! :-)
Great video! I purchased the 8 qt model. This is our first IP. Love all the new features they incorporated. I know i'm being a little pickey but I wish the selector knob was textured as it is slippery when grabbing it and trying to turn to make adjustments. Other than that it is perfect in every other way.
Great job Jeffrey! I'm looking forward to more new recipes in the updated unit. I was glad to hear that it will be available in an 8 qt size since I was thinking of getting one to compliment my 6 qt, which I use all the time. Time to add that to my Christmas list! And I love you and your channel too! Keep putting out the great content!
Thanks for pointing out how the duo evo compares to other instant pot models. I don't have any of them, but have always wondered how they compare. Now I know! And I'm off to purchase the duo evo.
I just bought myself a new IP duo (while giving away my old one), why didn't I wait to watch this video and bought myself one of these. That looks nice!
I bought the QVC Duo Plus with sous vide, when it was Today's Special Value early in Sept. I got an extra $10 off for 1st time buyer. So at least I didn't overpay, haha!
The Custom Sauté number LE6 is more like an electric wok Sear setting. Good for giving meat a crust at 1minute per side. I find the LE 3 or LE4 much better for sauté and developing a nice fond. Just my 2 cents.
The new pot is Induction Burner compatible! The Ultra is not, nor are any of the others. You need to amend your video and let people know this new pot can be used on Induction cook tops!!!!!
Are you sure? Just wondering. I just ordered the 8-Quart Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus from Amazon. The info on it states, "New 304(18/8) stainless steel inner pot with easy grip nonslip handles and flat inner surface can be used on gas, electric and induction stovetop/cooktop; Redesigned for optimal sauté results..." I'm only mentioning this in case some might be afraid to use it on a gas stove, which is what I have; however, I don't know that I would have the need for use on my stove. It could be that different sites give different info .....WILLIAMS SONOMA info just states, "Inner pot can be used on the stovetop" but doesn't list the type of stovetop as Amazon does.
FYI. If you sous vide, I'd advise you to (1) start with hot tap water, (2) make use of a (stay in) oven probe with alarm leave the trivet in. (1) It can take a while for the IP to reach temperature so starting with hot water jumpstarts this process. (2) Unlike a dedicated circulator the IP can vary but about 5 degrees (reported and in my personal experience). I like using the probe so, if the IP runs hot, I can adjust temp. (3) The trivet is to prevent any food I put in from coming in direct contact with the bottom Personal Experiences: So far I've only used Sous Vide to cook striploin steaks (1.5"-2.0" frozen directly from the freezer) and I personally prefer to sear in a cast iron skillet or with the pot directly on an oven element as I can get it hotter to do a quick sear then the sauté function in the IP itself. So far I've gotten very good results this way. Nice to be able an sous vide a steak for supper while I'm working then throw together a quick salad or veggies and then sear the steak.
@@therealstaticthreat planning on trying my first roast of beef via sous-vide. Inside round for 18 - 24 hrs. It should have all the flavour and be as tender as filet mignon(at least that's what I've read). Such a long cooking time allows the meat to fully tenderizes, like cooking in an earth oven :). I'll let you know how it turns out, if you want. I've slow cooked and slow roasted the cut like this but never this way.
Thanks for this great review! ... We are currently owning the DUO PLUS but the switch did break off... so I'm planning to buy the EVO plus. I always used a "steam release angle" with my Duo Plus to prevent my walls from the steam and redirect it directly into the kitchen hood. Could you please take the measurements of the nozzle for me, so that I can check if my "angle" will work? Many thanks in advance and nice greatings from Austria!
At first I would rather the cord came off so I could store it inside the pot. But then I noticed the hook on the back at the base. If you wrap the cord once around the front of the pot, no twists, above the control knob on the front, the plug will just make it to this hook and hold the cord. I've seen no mention of this in the manual.
Got this pot today and all of my extra insert pots are unusable, 3 extra pots total. They fit fine but you get a C8 error about a minute after pressure cooking starts. According to Instant Pot support you have to buy the same pot with the handles as a replacement which is not available as of yet. So as pretty as this is, it's going back. I depend on multiple inserts to get dinners ready for my family. And I adore my nonstick insert too much so going to get an Ultra instead! Edited: contacted IP support and they have NO plans to sell replacement pots like these with the handles for this version... This is their most expensive model too! Be aware!
Interesting that IP won't offer Evo Plus liners. Fwiw, I am running 6 and 8qt Ultra bases with Duo60 and Duo80 lids, & this works just fine. Got the Ultra bases on eBay from almost.perfect.store. Read descriptions and examine pics. Some of their stuff is damaged. But I got the most affordable Ultra upgrades ever, haha, with no damage.
I just bought this on to replace a model that I bought from QVC years ago, It was a cook’s essential brand... I don’t think Insta-pot were out or if they were not as popular as they are now. While mine still works I thought I would give it try and the feature that the inner pot doesn’t spin is what sold me ( so sad lol) . I just hit place order on WS website, the 6qt is on sale for $119! I should have it to soon so I can enjoy all of my quarantine cooking! Stay well everyone !
It took me over a year before I tried using my 3 Qt. Instant Pot and I boiled eggs to begin with and still do at times when I want to make salads or just do plain boiled eggs to eat. The last thing I cooked in mine was barbeque pork ribs which turned out fine after broiling them to finish cooking them.
Duo Evo Plus inner pot + portable induction = supreme joy + warp speed. Induction brings the pot to temperature nearly instantly. For any task with volume like soup its the place to start. No more long waiting for IP to come to pressure from cold. I'd rather saute on the induction as well. This saves wear on the IP heating element while keeping IP clean. Gotta love Evo's flat bottom with handles. For steaming no need for the IP. Its pal is a NuWave 1800 max with +- 5 degree control.
Great review. Received it from one of my daughters as a birthday gift. This video is extremely helpful. Caribbean Chicken for dinner tomorrow, making it today!
This review is what settled my decision to buy the Duo Evo Plus. Instant Pot should be giving Jeffrey commissions.
do you get error messages?

I love the fact you don’t have some stupid staged kitchen you have stuff around like a real human being, I trust youalready
Right? 🤣🤣
Your review of this product is far superior to the manufactures ad on Amazon. They are all fluff and you are practical.
Great review for this product. I was very intimidated when I looked at the information on the instapot
THANK YOU. My eyes glaze over trying to make sense of these manuals. Your presentation was so clear and helpful
Thank you that was so Helpful!! Do you have a easy recipe for rice.
My sentiments exactly
Your review of this product has to be the clearest, most well described, least time consuming review I've watched thus far. Thank you, subscribed!
Thanks for showing me how to adjust the temperature level. I have had this Instant Pot for a little bit over a month, and it's frustrating not knowing how to reduce the heat level from high to medium. No more, thanks to you, I just learned how. Thanks a million!
Just received this as a gift. First meal in 5 minutes! Frozen salmon and rice. Tasted amazing! I'm blown away! Best gift ever!
Santa brought me a Duo Evo Plus with EVERY ACCESSORY KNOWN TO MAN! Love your review. I've watched dozens of youtube vlogs to get comfy with the whole pressure cooking thing.
One thing that’s nice about all the different settings, like the different rice varieties, is that you can adjust the default time for each one and it will remember that setting next time. So if you have a time for brown rice that’s different than the Instant Pot out of box setting, once you adjust it you won’t have to adjust it again. That makes the presets on this machine more useful because you can use your preferred times.
That's so cool!

Yeah, he left that part out. Lol
Great job! You have explained the engineering behind the new control structure. Thanks a bunch!

One of the things I'm happy about is that (from what I understand) since the bottom of the pot it flat, when I saute my oil will cover the entire bottom and not flow down to the sides. Yay!
I love your reviews and recipes. You cover all the bases.
Just bought the exact Instant Pot you reviewed! I don’t read manuals, unlike my wife, it will be hilarious to use it out of the box. Awesome and clear review! TY!
I ordered the evo yesterday. I've been wanting an instant pot for a long time, but I finally decided to get one lol. Also, just ordered your book on Amazon just now! Love your video! It was very informative!
Hi Jeffrey! Love your videos! So helpful. I just ordered 2 copies of your cookbook, 1 for my daughter who struggles learning how to use her instapot. Be safe and keep on bringing us great content!!😊
The custom temperature also goes low enough to make small batches of cheese in the yogurt function. makes it nice when you need to keep an even temp for long periods of time :)
I never used a pressure cooker-let alone a 'fancy' electronic one.
I just bought this model based on your convincing review along with American Kitchen's one which reverberated the same thing.
I am so excited while I await delivery in two weeks.
I hope I can cook good food with this and not blow up the house with it! XD
Thank you so much this was very informative ! I was lost trying to use this for the first time . Your instruction and info was perfect ! Can’t wait for my carnitas to be done !!!!
I had the duo sv, and my hubby dropped it, and it broke 😥 I've been waiting for a replacement as it was covered under warranty. However as it's still out of stock, so I just got upgraded to a duo evo plus free of charge!! I'm a happy girl 🤩
Thank you so much Jeffrey. I really appreciate this review and all of your recipes. I just put in an order for 8qt evo duo plus. I’m upgrading from 6qt duo. Can’t wait for my new toy to come in.
3:12 "...even though it's not going to be a true sous vide experience because you really need the water to circulate for that to happen...". Actually, since it heats from the bottom, you don't need a pump because the convection will do. The Sous Vide Supreme uses that same method.
Whether the temperature is going to be precise enough is another matter. Looking forward to that being tested.
Great review though, thanks!
thanks for the detailed review of the small little functions!
Thanks for helping me choose between the models. Great video.
Thank you for this great review. I am dutch en there is an english user manual in the box, but no Dutch. It's complicated for me. But you helped me in a fantastic way and convinced me to buy this great Instant Pot the Duo Evo Plus. I am happy! :-)
Mine will be here tomorrow!!! SO EXCITED... GREAT REVIEW!!!!😍
Crystal clear reviews/explanation - thank you!
Thanks for the great review! This Pot sounds amazing! Love all the new upgrades!
Great video! I purchased the 8 qt model. This is our first IP. Love all the new features they incorporated. I know i'm being a little pickey but I wish the selector knob was textured as it is slippery when grabbing it and trying to turn to make adjustments. Other than that it is perfect in every other way.
Great job Jeffrey! I'm looking forward to more new recipes in the updated unit. I was glad to hear that it will be available in an 8 qt size since I was thinking of getting one to compliment my 6 qt, which I use all the time. Time to add that to my Christmas list! And I love you and your channel too! Keep putting out the great content!
Sold!!! The new lid holder location alone makes it worth the upgrade for me.
Thanks for pointing out how the duo evo compares to other instant pot models. I don't have any of them, but have always wondered how they compare. Now I know! And I'm off to purchase the duo evo.
I just bought myself a new IP duo (while giving away my old one), why didn't I wait to watch this video and bought myself one of these. That looks nice!
I bought the QVC Duo Plus with sous vide, when it was Today's Special Value early in Sept. I got an extra $10 off for 1st time buyer. So at least I didn't overpay, haha!
Thank you for this detailed review! Can’t wait to use mine.
The Custom Sauté number LE6 is more like an electric wok Sear setting. Good for giving meat a crust at 1minute per side. I find the LE 3 or LE4 much better for sauté and developing a nice fond. Just my 2 cents.
The new pot is Induction Burner compatible! The Ultra is not, nor are any of the others. You need to amend your video and let people know this new pot can be used on Induction cook tops!!!!!
Are you sure? Just wondering. I just ordered the 8-Quart Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus from Amazon. The info on it states, "New 304(18/8) stainless steel inner pot with easy grip nonslip handles and flat inner surface can be used on gas, electric and induction stovetop/cooktop; Redesigned for optimal sauté results..." I'm only mentioning this in case some might be afraid to use it on a gas stove, which is what I have; however, I don't know that I would have the need for use on my stove. It could be that different sites give different info .....WILLIAMS SONOMA info just states, "Inner pot can be used on the stovetop" but doesn't list the type of stovetop as Amazon does.
Excellent review my friend, very detailed and you covered it well. I will be buying it ASAP.
Great demo - Thanks, Jeffrey!
FYI. If you sous vide, I'd advise you to (1) start with hot tap water, (2) make use of a (stay in) oven probe with alarm leave the trivet in.
(1) It can take a while for the IP to reach temperature so starting with hot water jumpstarts this process.
(2) Unlike a dedicated circulator the IP can vary but about 5 degrees (reported and in my personal experience). I like using the probe so, if the IP runs hot, I can adjust temp.
(3) The trivet is to prevent any food I put in from coming in direct contact with the bottom
Personal Experiences: So far I've only used Sous Vide to cook striploin steaks (1.5"-2.0" frozen directly from the freezer) and I personally prefer to sear in a cast iron skillet or with the pot directly on an oven element as I can get it hotter to do a quick sear then the sauté function in the IP itself. So far I've gotten very good results this way. Nice to be able an sous vide a steak for supper while I'm working then throw together a quick salad or veggies and then sear the steak.
Great tips, thanks! :)
@@therealstaticthreat planning on trying my first roast of beef via sous-vide. Inside round for 18 - 24 hrs. It should have all the flavour and be as tender as filet mignon(at least that's what I've read). Such a long cooking time allows the meat to fully tenderizes, like cooking in an earth oven :). I'll let you know how it turns out, if you want. I've slow cooked and slow roasted the cut like this but never this way.
Thanks for this great review! ... We are currently owning the DUO PLUS but the switch did break off... so I'm planning to buy the EVO plus.
I always used a "steam release angle" with my Duo Plus to prevent my walls from the steam and redirect it directly into the kitchen hood.
Could you please take the measurements of the nozzle for me, so that I can check if my "angle" will work?
Many thanks in advance and nice greatings from Austria!
Thanks to you, I just ordered this one instead of the Smart Wifi. Looking forward to using it!!!
I just ordered your book & this instant pot! Great price once you put in your basket for prime day 2021. Jeanne ( retired RN)
I really like this one. The only thing for me that’s a negative is the cord. I prefer folding the cord and putting it away inside my pressure cooker
At first I would rather the cord came off so I could store it inside the pot. But then I noticed the hook on the back at the base. If you wrap the cord once around the front of the pot, no twists, above the control knob on the front, the plug will just make it to this hook and hold the cord. I've seen no mention of this in the manual.
Thanks for a truly excellent review, Jeffrey.
Best information on how to use this IP. Thank you.
I love it! The only negative is that you can’t set it for 0 minutes. I do that for some of my vegetables & they come out perfect.
Got this pot today and all of my extra insert pots are unusable, 3 extra pots total. They fit fine but you get a C8 error about a minute after pressure cooking starts. According to Instant Pot support you have to buy the same pot with the handles as a replacement which is not available as of yet. So as pretty as this is, it's going back. I depend on multiple inserts to get dinners ready for my family. And I adore my nonstick insert too much so going to get an Ultra instead!
Edited: contacted IP support and they have NO plans to sell replacement pots like these with the handles for this version... This is their most expensive model too! Be aware!
Interesting that IP won't offer Evo Plus liners. Fwiw, I am running 6 and 8qt Ultra bases with Duo60 and Duo80 lids, & this works just fine. Got the Ultra bases on eBay from almost.perfect.store. Read descriptions and examine pics. Some of their stuff is damaged. But I got the most affordable Ultra upgrades ever, haha, with no damage.
I got the C8 error while sautéing and using the inner pot. I returned it. Its IM-FRIGGIN-POSSIBLE to get customer support on the phone...
I just bought this on to replace a model that I bought from QVC years ago, It was a cook’s essential brand... I don’t think Insta-pot were out or if they were not as popular as they are now. While mine still works I thought I would give it try and the feature that the inner pot doesn’t spin is what sold me ( so sad lol) . I just hit place order on WS website, the 6qt is on sale for $119! I should have it to soon so I can enjoy all of my quarantine cooking! Stay well everyone !
I love this model! So user friendly!! Total upgrade and the upgrades you will use and appreciate!!!
It took me over a year before I tried using my 3 Qt. Instant Pot and I boiled eggs to begin with and still do at times when I want to make salads or just do plain boiled eggs to eat. The last thing I cooked in mine was barbeque pork ribs which turned out fine after broiling them to finish cooking them.
Duo Evo Plus inner pot + portable induction = supreme joy + warp speed. Induction brings the pot to temperature nearly instantly. For any task with volume like soup its the place to start. No more long waiting for IP to come to pressure from cold. I'd rather saute on the induction as well. This saves wear on the IP heating element while keeping IP clean. Gotta love Evo's flat bottom with handles. For steaming no need for the IP. Its pal is a NuWave 1800 max with +- 5 degree control.
Great review. Received it from one of my daughters as a birthday gift. This video is extremely helpful. Caribbean Chicken for dinner tomorrow, making it today!
