How is this different from a regular Instant Pot?

It has two separate pots that cook at the same time. A regular Instant Pot has one pot, so you cook the main and the side one after the other.

Can both pots pressure cook?

No. Pressure cooking, slow cooking and sauté are in the 4-quart pot. The 2-quart pot is for rice, steaming and warming.

How does Serve Together Smart Timing work?

You set when you want to eat and it staggers the start times so both pots finish together.

Are the pots dishwasher safe?

The pots are non-stick ceramic and wipe clean easily. Check the manufacturer's care instructions for dishwasher use.

Is it big enough for a family?

The 4-quart pot suits two to four people. Larger households may find it tight for big batches of a single dish.

Our take on the Instant Pot Dual Action Chef Multi-Cooker

The Instant Pot Dual Action Chef is a two-pot multi-cooker: a 4-quart non-stick ceramic pot for mains and a 2-quart pot for rice and grains, cooking side by side. Serve Together Smart Timing staggers start times so both pots finish together. The large pot handles pressure cooking, slow cooking, sauté, steam and warm; the small pot has dedicated white and brown rice programs plus steam and warm. It suits cooks who want a main and a side ready at once without watching two appliances. Against single-pot pressure cookers it trades capacity for parallel cooking, so a big batch of one dish is not its strength.
