Know before you buy
While the 8-quart size is ideal for large families or batch cooking, it may be overkill for a single person or couple. However, it provides extra room for larger cuts of meat or whole chickens that wouldn't fit in smaller models.
No, the stainless steel inner pot is designed specifically for use within the Instant Pot base. It is not compatible with gas, electric, or induction stovetops.
The Duo Nova features a smart lid that automatically seals the pressure valve when closed. Once cooking is complete, you can choose between a natural release, where pressure dissipates slowly, or a quick release using the manual steam release button.
Yes, it comes with a stainless steel inner pot, a steam rack (trivet), a condensation collector, and two sealing rings. Having two rings is particularly useful for separating savory and sweet recipes to prevent flavor transfer.
Yes, the stainless steel inner pot is dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. The lid should be hand-washed to protect the sealing mechanism and valve components.
The delay start feature is available for most functions, but it is not recommended for recipes containing dairy, meat, or other perishable ingredients that should not sit at room temperature for extended periods.
