The Instant Pot DUO Plus is actually a refresh of their previous most popular best-selling model, the DUO. It includes everything the DUO hasplusa new “sterilize” function in addition to “egg” and “cake” programs (pre-set times and pressures). They call this a 9-in-1 multi cooker – we’ll let Instant Pot figure out the math. The display is completely modernized so the cook can easily tell if the cooker is heating, pressure cooking, keeping warm and if the beeping sounds are on or off. At this time I can’t advise on the utility of the “sterilize” setting as there are no official guidelines on how to sterilize or can using an electric pressure cooker . However, Instant Pot has made it clear that this setting is not to be used for pressure canning low-acid foods such as meat.
With the new lid, it automatically seals to keep flavors, nutrients, and aromas inside. A new button makes it easier to release steam once the food is done cooking, and it’s placed away from the actual release valve so you shouldn’t experience burns from the hot steam coming out. The buttons are all big and easy-to-read, and the new LCD has a progress indicator to let you know when your pot is coming to pressure and when the cooking cycle begins.
If food has burned onto the bottom of the cooking pot, soak and scrub off the burned foods. Be sure to add more liquid to the pot and avoid ingredients containing thickeners like canned soups or prepackaged spaghetti sauces. Larger pressure cookers also take longer to come to pressure, so be sure to account for this additional time when preparing your meal. The Duo Nova pressure cooker retains many of the best parts of the Duo and adds in features found on its mid-range pressure cookers like the Duo Plus. The Duo Nova is the first Instant Pot to come in a 10 quart size. So you can now enjoy the larger sized pressure cooker with the functionality and familiarity of Instant Pot.

Unlike the Duo Plus, the Duo Nova does not have a sous vide setting. If you’re interested in using the sous vide, you’ll want to buy a different version moosoo air fryer that does include this button. Food must be placed only in the inner pot, not cooker base. Only one sealing ring should be installed when using your cooker.Replace your sealing ring every months or when deformation or damage is noticed. Read all Important Safeguards in the included Safety, Maintenance & Warranty booklet before use.
I would recommend the 7-in-1 instant pot duo nova Pressure Cooker back when it was launched, especially if you’re looking for a generous pot capacity. It’s the brand’s only product line that offers a 10-quart cooking pot. It’s exceptionally helpful when slow cooking as you can see the contents. However, if you already have a transparent cover that fits, you don’t need to get another one. If you ever end up having tough greases after using your pressure cooker, soaking it overnight always does the trick. All multicookers, including the Duo Nova, have a moderate learning curve.
