Our take on the Instant Pot Duo Mini 3-Quart Electric Pressure Cooker

The Instant Pot Duo Mini is a 3-quart electric pressure cooker with 7 functions and 11 smart programs, from pressure cooking and slow cooking to rice, steam and saute. The smaller pot suits one or two people, students and side dishes, and its stainless steel inner pot and dishwasher-safe lid and parts make cleanup simple. It is the compact member of the Duo line: it does the same core jobs as the 6-quart Duo but holds less, so it fits small kitchens and counters. Owners like it for beans, rice, oatmeal and small batches, and note that recipes written for 6-quart models need scaling down.

Questions and answers

Is the 3-quart size enough for two people?
Yes for most meals. It handles rice, beans, soups and small roasts for one or two, but a whole chicken or a big batch of chili will not fit.
How does it compare with the 6-quart Duo?
It has the same core functions and controls in a smaller pot. The 6-quart holds more and fits more accessories, while the Mini heats faster and takes less counter space.
Can I use regular Instant Pot recipes?
Only after scaling them down. Recipes written for 6-quart models often exceed the Mini's fill line, and cook times can differ for the smaller volume.
Is the inner pot dishwasher-safe?
Yes. The stainless steel inner pot and the lid are dishwasher-safe, and the pot can also be washed by hand.
What can I cook in it?
Pressure-cooked beans, rice, oatmeal, stews, steamed vegetables and desserts, plus slow-cooked and sauteed dishes using its 7 functions.
Does it come with a steamer rack?
The Duo Mini ships with a steam rack and a recipe booklet; other accessories sold for 6-quart models may not fit.
Where is the Instant Pot Duo Mini 3-Quart Electric Pressure Cooker cheapest?
At Westside Boot and Shoe, for $30.99, as of our latest check.
