    I actually like spinning the liner pot. It helps me stir the ingredients better and makes it a little easier to push stuff on the liner wall back into the pot.

    I guess I'm used to that now!

    Good presentation. I have a pressure cooker and recently bought a 3 quart Instant Pot. The Instant Pot is not, in my opinion, intuitive. Just by watching your video, the new Instant Pot Duo Plus seems much more intuitive to me.

    The less, normal, and more setting always bothered me, it makes no sense!! That hasnt anything to do with temperatures. lol
    Also why isnt the Start button on the left and the Cancel button on the right??
    When you use the Sous Vide function, does it actually show the temperature or does it just say less, normal, and more?? lol

    The difference between models has always confused me. I bought my first pot- a 6qt Viva on a pre-black Friday sale and I see I got the 2nd ring, a release button that looks like the new one, minus the thumb switch. I also got the Sious Vide button. I think I got lucky for around $50

    Looks like outside of sous vide, the enhancements make it more intuitive so as to flatten the learning curve for newbies. That's fine, but the better bargain is to get the old one at half price from someone wanting to update their Instant Pot. There's not much of a learning curve on the old one, thanks to Jeff's videos.

    Just a reminder to NOT use pre-shredded cheese. The anti-caking starch they put on it makes the cheese not melt properly. I just buy the cheddar bricks and use a crank shredder. A bonus is they’re usually sold at the exact size he suggests for his recipe.

    I have the Duo Evo Plus which has all the features of this model, but it also has a steam function which I do use for reheating leftover meals. I put the leftovers in a pot that fits the liner and set it on a trivet and it reheats beautifully. Also, the liner has a flat bottom and handles that lock it into place to keep the liner from spinning. The flat bottom makes sautéing easier as the food stays in place and doesn’t slide to the side of the liner. It also allows reheating on a stove burner, if desired.

    Love your videos. I have the original duo and wanted to know if my accessories, and steaming baskets will fit in the new one? I would like to upgrade but I don't want to buy all that stuff again. Thanks looking forward to your next cookbook.

    So they now have a Duo Plus, Updated Duo Plus and the Duo Plus Evo? That's not confusing 😉 PS. Use a stay-in probe to monitor water temp when using Sous-vide as you can't trust the value on the display (at least that's the case in the Evo). Having said that the Sous-vide function is great and saves buying another device.

    What model number do they call this? The V2 6qt was released in Aug/Sept 2019 and has sous vide and was offered in colors by QVC. However, IP has improved the lid from the Ultra style with the tall pushbutton that could snap off. (Good move, IP.) I think the control panel is also different from V2. So, is this one called V3? What's on the sticker?

    I love my new 8 qt Pro Crisp. It differs in a few ways: inner pot has heat proof handles that also prevent spinning, no + – buttons because it has a dial you turn & I like this better, and you get the air fryer lid plus the new inner basket/trivet thingy (which I love). It also has the Sous Vide function, which is also useful for making yogurt.

    The vent button is kind of like the Ultra, but what the Ultra does that this doesn't is let you depress the button gradually, which I like to do when doing QR because the full QR scares the cats. Yes, it means I'm holding the button half down for up to 10 minutes until the steam isn't so fierce, but hey, anything for the furkids.
