- Is the 3-quart size enough for two people?
- Yes for most meals. It handles soups, rice, beans and small roasts for one or two, but it is tight for batch cooking or leftovers.
- How does it compare with the 6-quart Duo Plus?
- Same functions and controls in a smaller pot. The 6-quart holds more and fits a whole chicken; the Mini heats faster and takes less space.
- Does it air fry?
- No. It pressure cooks, slow cooks, sautés, steams, makes rice and yogurt, and sterilizes. Air frying needs a separate lid model.
- Can I sauté in it before pressure cooking?
- Yes. Use the Sauté function to brown meat or soften onions, then switch to pressure cooking in the same pot.
- Is the inner pot dishwasher safe?
- Yes. The stainless steel inner pot and most removable parts are dishwasher safe; wipe the base by hand.
- What comes in the box?
- The cooker base, stainless steel inner pot, pressure cooking lid, steam rack and condensation collector.
