I love my duo evo plus!
I bought the Zavor Lux and really like it.
You guys are awesome. Just one question, do you know if the 3 qt size of your top contenders work well? I am single & I mostly cook for myself and my cat. I will entertain about 2x per year but I have very little counter & storage space. Thanks for all your reviews and hard work!
A lot of these pressure cookers are all made in the same factory.
I’m really curious what they do with all that food, is there some amazing homeless shelter or something like that, that gets the extra food?
I have the Crockpot multicooker 6 qt and it works well.
Isnt that a super old model of the ninja?
Since I was wanting an 8 qt, I will look into getting the IP Duo Evo Plus 9 in 1. Thanks for this great review.
I wanted to buy a 6 cup Duo Evo Plus, but I decided not to purchase one when I learned from the company that this unit has only a 3 foot power cord (too short for use on my crowded counter top) and that the company does not offer an extension cord and has not tested the unit with one. Too bad, InstaPot! You've lost a potential customer.
The Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus is awesome. It is my fave of the pots I have.
Most review channels are a joke compared to this one.
You make these reviews so scientific it's hard to not trust them. Amazing job. Truly impressed with those.
I'm done with crock pots. Food loses its nutrients cooking so long. Pressure cookers cook food quick before nutrients are lost.
Side bar…. I hope y’all donated that cooked food to someone in need 🤔😒🤷🏽♀️

Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus
Appreciate your effort in explaining . Those who want to know which one to buy 7:12
You don't make North Carolina pulled pork in a multi-cooker…..
I thought the breville would be the best one in this test. Almost bought it. Have to look for an instant pot now.
I'm disappointed that you did not indicate which products had the features that you did not like.
Which should I go with Instant Pot Duo + CRISP or Duo Evo Pluss?
Now I know what a "multi-cooker" is, and what an Instant Pot is. A slow cooker? I have one that is a crock pot brand, but it is an oval shaped thing with a heavy stoneware insert. I also have one that is round, with a heavy stoneware insert. These come with glass lids. Pressure Cooker? Yes, I have one of those – a wonderful Wolfgang Puck one, 8 quart with a non-stick insert cooking pot. I've had it 6 or 7 years now, and I use it all the time. It has only one timer knob on the front that sets the cooking time, and turns down until finished, then changes to the "keep warm" function. I haven't used it to cook rice, because I have a smaller rice cooker, which is digital – a mini pressure cooker just for rice. Thanks Lisa for your very thorough review of these. Next time I want baked beans, I'll use my pressure cooker. I haven't tried that yet. Do you have a recipe?
I have the 6-quart "inexpensive" version of the Instant Pot that was sold at Costco last year. It's pretty good, you can cook beans lightning fast, it has a great saute function, but it doesn't have the nice features of the Duo Evo Plus like handles on the inner pot and the pressure release switch. While the inner pot doesn't lock in place, it also doesn't spin wildly, so stirring isn't a huge deal.
I haven't tried the yogurt or sous vide functions, and I plan to try the yogurt. Unfortunate that sous vide doesn't work that well, but that's why I got my immersion circulator.
Damn right. ATK is really all over the map with their equipment reviews. God bless Adam Ried & co, but I can't stomach more than a few seconds of that saccharine QVC style banter. Lisa runs a tight goddamn ship, these are some of the most thorough and clear kitchen gear reviews anywhere. Stop messing with perfection.
I know instapot brought the psi to 15 with the Max model. Does anyone know what the psi is for this model?
What about the Insignia pressure cooker? I mean it's sold through Best Buy with plenty of people picking one up for it's low price. I definitely enjoy my 8qt model.
Live in a box cooking! Trillionaires, the NWO and Mc Government will wish they were poor when they see this.
@America's Test Kitchen, I love your reviews and ofter rely on it, but this time I think you missed the mark by not including 'Air Frying' lids which are the new 'it' option when people consider buying one of the multicookers – it's simply time to upgrade! Since you have all the cookers can you please add a review of the air frying lids?
