Our take on the Instant Pot Duo Plus Mini 3-Quart 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker

The Duo Plus Mini is Instant Pot's 3-quart electric pressure cooker, a nine-in-one appliance that also slow cooks, steams, sautés, makes rice and yogurt, and sterilizes. Its small pot suits one or two people, small kitchens and side dishes, and it browns food in the same pot before pressure cooking. Against the 6-quart Duo Plus it gives up batch size and some cooking headroom, but it heats faster and takes less counter and cupboard space. Owners like the simple controls and easy cleanup; the main complaints are the small capacity and a learning curve on timing.

Questions and answers

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.
