There’s no recipe book or cooking charts included though, so you’ll have to head to the website or app for these. We found plenty of slow cook and pressure cook recipes but it can be tricky to find exact guidance for more simple tasks like steaming and cooking rice. First off, the rubber gasket on the lid is easily removable, and instant vortex the lid itself is a single piece. This makes cleaning and drying easier than some other models that use two-piece lids designs that introduce nooks and crannies where water and gunk can hide. This makes it a bit harder to scrub clean than many of its non-stick counterparts but also means it can unequivocally go in a dishwasher.
If you’ve had experiences, like I, with stovetop pressure cooker mishaps in the past, fear no more. The Instant Pot eliminates most of those pressure cooker issues. The moosoo air fryer Ultra setting gives you the ability to have more control over what you’re cooking. My in-depth Instant Pot Duo Plus Whisper Quiet Review will be posted next week.
Both the Duo Plus Whisper Quiet and the Duo Nova hit a sweet spot of offering some of the newer, more convenient features without a high-end price. As promised, I will try and define a category of best users for each of these two Instant Pot models . In my opinion, they both do an amazing job, especially since there is no fancy interface to decipher.
With different sizes available, this is a useful multi-cooker no matter what size your family or household. I use this method to steam Indian rice cakes called idli. Hope that helps and let me know if you have further questions. Even for singles or couples I still think a 6 qt is the best choice for one’s first or only IP.
This is useful when you’re doing a natural release. The Duo Nova for all sizes does not include the Cake Setting, egg, or pasteurize features if you’re interested in that particular smart program. But don’t worry as you can still make hard-boiled eggs using the steam setting and cakes in any size Duo Nova by using the pressure cook setting and adjusting the time. I would love to know your recommendation for a 6 qt Instant Pot.
