Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 (6 qt).
Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 (6 qt) — pressure, slow cook, sauté, sous vide, steam, sterilize, rice, yogurt, keep warm. The default 6-quart for most kitchens.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The default 6-quart. Instant's everyday pot for beans, chili, rice, and yogurt. Skip it only if you need a 3-quart, a crisp lid, or the Pro's handled pot.”
