Instant Pot Duo 3, 6, & 8 qt UNBOXING - WHICH INSTANT POT TO BUY

Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for watching this video! Make sure you check out my next video, 26 Instant Pot Tips, Tricks, Hacks, and Facts! I guarantee you won't know at LEAST one of them!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5Z6NeBxnhY i've been working on my videos and I think you'll really like this next one! - Lisa

Everything you can make in a 6 Qt, you can make in a 3 Qt. Most instant pot recipes can just be halved. (yes, larger joints, whole chickens etc. are the exception.) I live alone , and have a small kitchen. Kitchen space is a consideration too. I,m super happy with my 3 Qt Duo.

I have the 3 quart instant pot and I love it. I think it’s perfect for a single person, college student or a couple. I considered getting a 6 qt, but that was just my inner shopaholic talking, lol.

I just bought a 3 quart Instant Pot - since I am cooking in it only for me. A chicken breast or two, or maybe a leg quarter... Perfect for the single person, college student... Thanks so much for the comparison.

This video was beyond useful. Absolutely loved how u presented all 3 instant pots.

Got the 6 since it’s me and my husband. I love it! I use it for cooking pasta since my stove takes a long time to get water to a boil. It’s really easy to use. Just takes a couple uses to get the hang of it.

Great job on the video, Lisa! We also decided on the 6 qt Duo, a Star Wars R2D2 special edition that Williams-Sonoma had on sale. We’ve been amazed at the quality of the foods that can be made in it, and the speed at which you can make them! You make a great point on having more than one... within a week we ordered a second 6 qt so we could do multiple meal items at the same time. The addition was a Darth Vader version, so now our Instant Pots can cover both sides of The Force at once. Balanced meals. :)

When deciding to try an Instant Pot, I was using Kohl’s Cash, so bought a 4 quart Zavor pot for a great sale price. There’s just my husband and me, and I’d been using a 4 quart slow cooker after giving away my 6 quart slow cooker as too large. The surprise is how much more I can do with an Instant Pot, so now I’m really thinking I need to add a 6 quart model, an extra inner pot, more seals, and one of those (or more) plastic lid covers for marinating meat. Finding your channel is such a wonderful blessing. Now I can make better choices about those purchases!! Thank you for all your knowledge and wisdom.

Love your videos. I just got mine a couple of months ago and I’m buying one for my sister for Xmas. I will share your channel with her. I bought the 8qt and I’m glad I did because I have lots of extra meals that I can freeze.

Thank you so much for these videos. I bought one a few days ago and have tried your rice recipe. Can't wait to explore more. My wife liked it so much she ordered one for her nephew. Thanks again.

What a helpful video! Thank you! Serious I am so glad this exists. Ha, I was torn between 6 & 8 and after your video, I think the 6 is best for me!

Hi Lisa, I just found your channel and so glad I did! You explain things so well and break them down into understandable parts, its great! I was looking to purchase an Instant Pot and had no idea which one, or how they work and felt a little intimidated by them. But your videos put everything in perspective and you give confidence where it is needed. So grateful to have found (and subscribed) to your youtube channel! Thank you and keep those videos coming!

I’m a mom of five boys ages 24, 21,18, 14,and 8. All my friends think I’m crazy because I don’t have an internet pot yet! Your video helped me to decide on what size I need! Thanks so much!❤️

I actually went with an 8 qt simply for a few reasons. I like have a little extra breathing room in case I decide to make a little extra. I also tend to make meals that I can have for a few days. Money being tight and my desire to not have to cook for myself every day since I work overnights, I like to have lots of leftovers. I also tend to share with coworkers and family.

Hi Lisa, I am LDS from Toronto, On, Canada.. I found myself needing cornea transplants in 2015 and unable to cook. I had used a stovetop pressure cooker, Lagostina, for many, many years but I needed to change so I bought the electrical kind that is so much easier to cook with. It turns out my husband had to take over the cooking. He loves the 6 quart duo instant Pot. I am glad for the purchase because he cooks vegetables. It’s really hard when you can’t see to cook. I received my transplants after about 1 year. I am ok now but 2 years ago I broke my left hip. My husband really had to learn to do everything. He is my assistant. He is 80. All our married life we have stuck to the traditional way so it was not easy to change things. On top of it all I was born in France so I am a fairly good cook and demanding of good tasting food. Thanks for helping people!

just what I needed to push me to buy my first instant pot! thank you so much!

The best and very helpful reviews, thanks

Thank you for this video! I find it very helpful. I'm so happy I found your youtube channel. I live by myself and I'm very busy with work, almost 6 days a week sometimes of working doesn't give me enough time and energy to cook everyday, so I usually cook good for a week and I just store them in the freezer or fridge. I'm glad you mentioned about getting the 6 quarter to start with. It's my first time buying it and I'm torn which one to own first since I am also limited with kitchen storage with my small apartment. This video has really helped me decide. Thank you Lisa.❤️

Great, been looking at this for hours and have managed to pick up some new tips and confirm what I may have been thinking - useful little snipets particularly on sizes - many tks!

Very helpful, thank you. Also loved the tip about proving dough using the yogurt setting on the Duo!
