Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1
Instant Pot Duo Review: Best All-in-One Cooker?
Pressure cook, slow cook, and sauté in one pot. We break down what it does well and where it falls short.
The Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 is the gateway to pressure cooking for most people. We used it for rice, beans, stews, and yogurt over several months.
What we liked
Pressure cooking is fast and consistent once you learn the timing. The Duo has clear buttons and a simple lid. We love it for meal prep: dump ingredients, set time, walk away. The stainless inner pot is easy to clean and doesn't hold odors.
What we didn't
The learning curve is real—first few cooks may be trial and error. Steam release can be loud. Sauté mode works but isn't as responsive as a stovetop pan.
Verdict
Worth every penny for anyone who wants faster, hands-off cooking. We earn a commission from qualifying purchases.
