Wish I got the 6QT instead of the 3QT
UPDATED – So I finally got the 6QT and oh. my. g… – so wonderful! Such a relief! I can cook 5 lbs of frozen chicken in ONE cycle and have food for my dog for the next week! Yay! And last night I finally made that famous “soccer mom spaghetti” (dump a box of pasta, one jar of sauce, a bag of frozen meatballs plus a jar of water in the pot then push a button) and – perfect. I made this same thing in the 3qt about a few times and it never came out right – first the pasta didn’t cook, next time the sauce was too watery, etc. With the 6QT – cooked perfectly! And I have FIVE portions of leftovers instead of the 1-2 I had with the smaller I.P.To put the 3qt vs 6qt in perspective: the 3qt pot does not actually cook 3 quarts because you can’t fill it all the way to the top. There’s a line that’s oh, an inch or two below the lip that’s the Max Fill line, because the pressure cooker needs extra room to do its thing. Then, if you’re adding the trivet, you’re losing another inch of space. So really your cooking space is more like 2 quarts, like a small sauce pan.Imagine you’re cooking ALL of your meals with nothing bigger than a sauce pan.Then you’ve got the 6qt pot, which is like the big pots you use to boil pasta. Or make soup.Pasta pot vs sauce pan. You see what I’m saying?Anyway, now my problem is that I have to stop cooking so often because I have no more room in my freezer… :)********ABOUT THE 3 QT DUO — As Instant Pots go, I’ll not reiterate what everyone else says but agree that it’s a game changer, and totally revolutionizes your cooking. However, I have some regrets…3QT Too Small for Lazy Cooks Like Me — When I to move into my Airstream trailer full time, I decided to get an Instant Pot as I thought it would help minimize the amount of cooking appliances I needed. And of course, being solo (plus a dog and cat) I figured the 3Qt was the better choice. After 7 months with it, I am desperate to trade my 3Qt for the 6QT. I like cooking, but I’m lazy and would prefer to make a large batch once and have left overs, than have to cook for every meal. Reheating leftovers is far easier to clean up than cooking a fresh meal. I’m lazy at cleaning, too.Instant Pot Learning Curve — Instant Pot cooking takes some getting used to, and while there is a great abundance of tips and such online, which are fabulous, about 95% of them are for 6QT or larger. Finding good, appropriate recipes for the 3QT is frustrating and has led to lots of failed meals, as ingredients plus liquids, cooking time, etc are all out of proportion.Where Are All The Accessories for 3QT? — In the same vein as above, there are tons and tons of accessories for the Instant Pot, but… they’re all for 6QT, not a lot for 3QT. I’m starting to see more 3QT-sized accessories (like steam baskets, gaskets, lids, egg bites silicone molds, etc), but only from, like, a single manufacturer. As opposed to stuff for the 6 qt, where you’ve got a dozen steam baskets to choose from.Home Cooked Dog Food — Finally, as I’m traveling a lot city to city, I’ve started making food for my dog (an 80lb Labrador) as we could never find the brand of dog kibble that she liked and that was good for her. In this situation, the Instant Pot has been my savior, as it’s soooo easy to just plop a bunch of raw, frozen chicken or other meats into the pot, slap on lid, push a button and within the hour, I’ve got tons of fall-off-the-bone meat for my pup’s next breakfast (because I inevitably forget to cook for her the night before, and have to do it right at her mealtime). But normal instances when making a batch of her food, again, because I have the 3QT, I could only cook a portion of the meat, take it out, do a quick scrub of the pot before cooking the other portion – whereas with a 6QT that could be done with just one cycle.In short, if you’re thinking about getting a 3Qt for your first and only Instant Pot, don’t! Just go for the 6Qt and make your life much easier.

Just take the time to watch Lisa Childs’ “Tried Tested and True” YouTube videos!
I was really motivated to quit setting off the smoke alarm in my apartment due to…whatever…I’m almost 76..is that an excuse? lol) I wanted to find a way to use just one pot to SAUTE, slow cook, cook rice, beans and more, (along with using my air fryer), to cook meals for one. I’m so glad to see that I can just wait until I start getting hungry, and decide THEN what to have for my first or second meal of the day. No matter what I want to eat, even if something is frozen, within 20 minutes to one hour max, including prep time, I have a delicious, nutritions meal. I’m saving money, not even wanting to pay extra to eat out.Before I purchased the Instant Pot, I had seen Lisa Childs’ YouTube videos about how great it is to use an Instant Pot, and she explains things so well that I felt confident that this time I could learn to use this product. I did learn in just a day, and I’m having fun with it, even adjusting cooking methods to suit what works for me best.She will tell you all the great things about using the Instant Pot!I like and trust the brand so much now, that I almost purchased an Instant Pot Air Fryer, but since my old Cuisinart is still working just fine, I decided to just get a new pan and grate for it, and when I NEED another Air Fryer, it will likely be the Instant Pot brand!

Well made, easy to use, excellent results!
Cooking organic short grain brown rice and other grains is what this is mainly used for, and each time the results are perfect! For cooking dried beans and legumes I used my regular pressure cooker.The size seems perfect for a small family of 2…?I’d read most of the reviews, and to those that had issues removing the large sticker from the lid, I’ll agree, removing it seemed impossible until I soaked the lid in hot water (with rubbery seal removed) then dried and applied a folded paper towel soaked in goo-gone on the sticker overnight. The next day it was gooey enough to rub off gently.

La función de cocinar a presión es genial, se calienta muy rápido, y con su válvula de sacar el vapor también se puede abrir muy rápido después de que termina. Las ollas de presión tradicionales me dan miedo y tienes que dejar que se enfríe mucho tiempo y esta no. La función de yogur también me gustó. Lo único que no me encanta es que el aro de silicon o empaque se impregna de olor de lo que hagas y ya no se le quita. Hay que comprar un aro para cosas saladas y otro para dulces

Es un gran producto, mi esposa lo buscaba desde el año pasado. Lo encontramos a un gran precio y fue la versión norteamericana. Funciona a la perfección, es muy sencilla de usar. La entrega fue en tiempo y forma, completamente nueva y empacada original. Sin duda la volvería a comprar.
