- How is the Rio different from the Instant Pot Duo?
- The Rio is slimmer and uses an Easy-Release switch instead of a dial, but it has fewer preset programs and no yogurt setting. The Duo offers more functions in a bulkier body.
- What can the 7-in-1 functions do?
- It covers pressure cooking, slow cooking, rice, steaming, sauté, keep-warm and a manual pressure mode. That replaces a stovetop pressure cooker, slow cooker and rice cooker for most meals.
- How many people does a 6-quart pot serve?
- A 6-quart pot is the standard family size, comfortably cooking for four to six people or leaving leftovers. It fits a whole chicken or several pounds of chili.
- Is the inner pot dishwasher safe?
- The stainless steel inner pot and most removable parts can go in the dishwasher. The cooker base should only be wiped clean.
- Does it need to come to pressure before cooking starts?
- Yes. Like all electric pressure cookers, it takes several minutes to build pressure before the timer begins, so add that to the recipe time.
- Can I open the lid while it is pressurized?
- No. The lid locks while there is pressure inside. Release steam with the Easy-Release switch and wait for the float valve to drop before opening.
