- Can it really cook two dishes at the same time?
- Yes. The 4-quart main pot and 2-quart side pot run together, so you can cook rice alongside a stew or steam a side while the main pot works.
- How much rice does the main pot hold?
- Up to 8 cups of cooked rice, which suits small households. Larger families will likely want a bigger single pot.
- How does it compare with a standard 6-quart Instant Pot?
- It trades capacity for a second pot. The main pot is smaller than a 6-quart model, but you can cook two dishes at once instead of one.
- What cooking functions does it have?
- Eight functions covering rice, grains, stews, steaming and similar tasks. It is not a pressure cooker like the classic Instant Pot lines.
- How much counter space does it need?
- About 20 inches wide by 12 inches deep, so plan for a wide spot. It is broader than most round multi-cookers.
- What is included and what is the warranty?
- The unit ships with both inner pots and lids. Coverage is a one-year limited warranty.
- Where is the Instant Pot Dual Action Multi-Cooker cheapest?
- At Kohl's, for $169.99, as of our latest check.
