Pros 👍

"I love my Instant Pot," said this smitten kitchen fan, "It cooks a good amount of food (I am able to meal prep for two adults and one kid for an entire week with it) and does so very quickly. I love using it to make rice, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes and pasta. The possibilities are honestly endless with it."

"If my kitchen had a VIP section, the Instant Pot Duo Plus would be front row, center stage and probably wearing sunglasses indoors," raved another reviewer. "This does everything — pressure cooks, slow cooks, makes rice, yogurt, probably can decode my emotional baggage too (TBD)."

And it's great for vegans! "We bought this Instant Pot to make homemade vegan yogurt. It made the process super simple. I'm thrilled with the results so far! Can't wait to try all its different features."

Cons 👎

A faithful user nevertheless had this tip: "Make sure you wash the lid and the inner tube each time, otherwise it picks up the residual smell of whatever you cooked. Also, pay attention to the way the inner white tube is inserted because I put it incorrectly one time and couldn't close the lid."

A legacy fan wrote: "I had a crockpot version for 10 years, they don't make it anymore ... so I tied this. Seamless transition, and great options. Good size — one complaint is the stainless insert isn't non-stick, but less chemicals into my food, I'll take it."
