Review: Brilliant and Perfect for Camping or Van Life - This is a high-quality piece of kit. So far, I've only used this a few times, but so far, I've found it excellent. I haven't used all of the various functions yet, but for cooking rice and a one-pot meal, it's great. Specifically, I will be using this when camping or traveling in a van. See below for info regarding using it with a power bank. Spoiler alert: the Jackery 1000 Plus kicks back in a sunchair with a margerita while running this thing. I bought the 3L Duo mini. It came with an instruction booklet, but there were no recipes, so I had to go online. Nor did it come with rice paddles or a measuring cup. I guess they don't offer those anymore. My first test was with rice. I had watched videos that said to cook rice from 3-5 minutes, but they didn't explain how to set the timer. So I pushed the rice button and expected the + and - buttons to set the time. That didn't work, so I just left it to it to do its thing with the automatic Rice function. Well, that turned out to be way too long. I cooked one cup of rice with one cup of water (as per instructions in videos) and the machine cooked it for 12 minutes. The rice was ok, but it was a bit tough and sticky. I then searched videos on how to set the timer. I now know that the way to do that is to bypass the automatic button, press the Pressure Cook button, and then, indeed, the + and - buttons work for timing. So, the next time I cook rice, I will do that. Also, I manually depressurised the rice, because I didn't know what I was doing, so that probably didn't help with the texture. But I did set it manually for the next thing I cooked, which was a soup of whole baby potatoes, 3 small pieces of frozen Polish sausage, a baby cabbage, an onion, and two cups of water (may have been too much water). I cooked it for 22 minutes (plus the heat up/cool down period). The potatoes were just right, the sausage was a bit crumbly but fine, and the cabbage and onions were cooked pretty much to mush. But the broth was great and it was a delicious meal. So, next time, I will thaw the meat, chop the potatoes, and cook for a shorter period. It's a trial-and-error process with pressure cooking. However, overall, I was very pleased with a one-pot meal that I could 'set and forget' as they say. I bought the glass lid in order to use the pot as a slow cooker (which apparently isn't quite like a normal slow cooker, as I've been hearing in videos). I will update once I try that. Now, the main point of this review is to comment on its use with a power bank, in this case, a Jackery 1000 Plus. When I cooked the rice, I used the Jackery. It was at 100% charge at beginning. The overall time of cooking the rice was about 16-17 minutes (because of the initial heating/pressurization period). And I depressurized manually (natural depressurising takes a few minutes). I also ran a Ninja Slim 700w on it to make a smoothie, which only took about 7 seconds, literally (brilliant machine!!). When the pot starts heating and pressurising, it pulls a lot of power, close to its 700w rating (the pot, not the Jackery). Then, after it's pressurised, the power drops way down. After both of those uses, the Jackery was still at 90%. I was impressed! This pot will suit me to a T when spending long periods in a van. The pros: 1) Relatively speaking, the size is a little bulky for a van, but it's smaller than an oven (I say oven because you can quasi-bake things in it, though they won't have a golden colour.) and worth every centimeter, in my opinion. Plus it doesn't weigh much. 2) It's safer, because you're not leaving a pot on an open flame (especially for rice, which can boil over and burn easily). You can walk away from it and go do what you need to do. 3) Throwing things in a pot and ending with a tasty stew makes life so much easier on the road and is exactly how I like to cook after a long day when I'm tired. 4) It's fast. I normally let stews/soups cook for a few hours. 5) Clean up is pretty easy. 6) And most importantly, I can use this with a power bank with no problem. I don't need a separate inverter/AC system. The Jackery charges via 12v and solar, so I can just plug this pot in and get cooking without a complex electrical system. The cons (not really cons, just minor issues): 1) It comes with an instruction booklet, which you absolutely must read, but to really understand how it works and how to cook with it, you have to find some videos. This isn't a big deal. I usually do this anyway, with most things I buy. 2) Some people have complained that the whole process of cooking something takes longer than the actual cooking time, due to heat up/cool down, but again, this isn't such a big deal. It could be if you have a 9-5 job and kids, etc, but if you're living in a van, then presumably, you have a lot more free time. And what's a few extra minutes for all the pros mentioned above? The bottom line: This thing is going to make cooking in a van so much easier for me and I highly recommend it!
Review: A useful product for modern life that can save time and efforts - First I bought the 3L and I am using it in the last 8 months since I bought it. I use it extensively. I mainly use it in Steam mode to steam vegetables sometimes with meat (Hamburgers Beef fillets). I adjust it for 5 min. steaming and it results excellent. In addition I drink the water that is soaked with the vegetable and meat liquids as a "soup". In addition, I use it in in "Pressure" mode to cook Soy and Check beans. I also use it to prepare the Japanese Natto in "Yogurt" mode. Also, I prepare Soft-boiled eggs in "Steam" mode adjusting 1-minute time. I recently bought the bigger one the "5.7L" and I use it in the same modes as the 3L. For the Natto, I use now the 5.7L since I can prepare more quantity of Natto. I am planning to also to make Yogurt. By the way, I find that the 3L in the "Pressure" mode cooks the beans faster than the 5.7L. Maybe because it is smaller and has less mass to heat. I cannot explain this phenomenon. Meaning that in the 5.7L I need more time ~10% to complete the cook. But it is not a problem at all. Both the 3L and 5.7L are good products. The 3L is more compact and sits perfectly in my small kitchen and it is good for 2 persons. The 5.7L is good for more persons I estimate 4-6 persons but I did not checked this i issue. I am satisfied from both products the 3L and 5.7L. Now they are part of my kitchen hardware and save me time and efforts for prepare dishes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does the food taste good somebody told me the it didn't taste the same done in a pressure cooker so does it taste good please**
A: sometimes pressure cookers do change the way food tastes, becaus eyou have to add an amount of water that may not be the same, or because the programmes do not cook it how you like it, some like very overcooked carrots, some like them crunchy still, so the texture of a preprogrammed thing is going to be some arbitrary "ideal" cooking point. it may not be to your liking so they have the ability to either increase or decrease the time and or pressure. meats cooked in a slow cooker are also quite different in texture, usually more soft, many people may not like this and prefere a chewey stew or casserole to a soft slow cooked peice of meat. the taste is going to  be somewhere llike boiling steaming or casseroling... versus frying whihc also is a different taste to pressure cooking. but you dont realllly pressure cook frying things, you pressure cook things that you would usually boil or steam,  or casserole and stew, meats like tough stewing steak or shoulders of pork, thing slike rice and grains or beans, and all of those things will taste similar to how they do when you boil steam or casserole them. things like carrots or veggies whihc you may enjoy lightly stir fried could taste very different coming out of a pressure cooker. but then they would taste very sifferent boiled. one thing i do dislike myself is vegatables done in pressure, or slow cooked, they seem to lose all their texture, and you cant add them in at the end because it takes  while for pressure to release. you can with teh slow cooking though, its awesome for tough meat to become tender but dreadful if you add vegatables in for slow cooking. they just take such different times its not possible to cook them all togther at one time and have them be perfectly cooked. and where with a nromal pot you can throw things in at the end you cant do that when using pressure mode. hope that helps.

**Q: interested in rising bread dough in it, any information would great not sure what programmme to use.**
A: Hi - you can use the Yogurt setting for this - on 'normal' yogurt the temp is 40c but on 'less' the temperature is 34c which I believe is the optimum level. Perhaps for a moist dough you could add water in the bottom - warm it for 1 minute using saute then put the dough in a bowl on the trivet.

**Q: I see on the Instant Pot website that there is a new model with some sort of bluetooth connection. Is this that model?**
A: No it is the one before, the duo60 7 in 1. This one is absolutely fantastic. In the 3 days I've had it I have made every single meal in it (also pre cooked for the dogs) from fresh yogurt over night,  poached eggs, porridge, rice and chicken pasanda curry to sautéing lamb shank to cooking the same for pulling then adding and making an italian sauce to the dry pasta and cooking it all in one. Every single bit has come out super and with only one -two button pushes and no watching over it.After reading up on the new bluetooth I decided I didn't need to go high tech. For me there is less to go wrong with this model and as my husband will be using it too (who is technophobe) he gets impatient with tech stuff it's best to use this one. But who know maybe one day I'll change my mind.

**Q: This Instant Pot IP-DUO60 is 6L, right?  How many cups of rice will be cooked in this 6L pot? Can the pot also accommodate a whole chicken?**
A: 3 cups of rice and yes a whole chicken can be acommodated

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good efficency and easy use.
*by C***N on 9 September 2025*

After moving into shared accommodation with my sister and brother-in-law, this pot has really come into its own. Being disabled, it allows quick and easy one pot meals to be made without too much faffing around. I've not yet used the rice cooker function, but I hope that works as well as the pressure cooking selection. My favourite thing to cook is one pot chicken meals. It cooks the chicken so well, you get a nice juicy meat without any real effort apart from setting the timer for the various amounts involved. I find for a single frozen chicken breast (one that's meant to be cooked from frozen) it takes approximately five to six minutes. For around three chicken breasts, I set it to seven minutes to start with, then add the final ingredients after that has ended for a few more minutes. However, I recommend you take it slowly to start with until you get a feel for the pot and cooking time. I started with two minute increments the first time I used the pot. It's easily cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand, and so long as you follow the instructions for cleaning the flexible ring on the lid you can help with the overall durability. A tip I picked up years ago; buy a second flexible ring for the lid so you don't risk cross contamination of any strong lingering tastes between savoury and sweet dishes. The versatility is great. I can get hard boiled eggs cooked in minutes, use it as a slow cooker, and I have the option of a rice cooker as well. Although the wattage seems quite high, compared to other cooking methods you use less energy because it's so quick. It's quite a weighty pot, but that's from the necessary method of manufacture. However, unless you have to move it around to use it, then the inner pot and lid aren't too hard to pick up and remove for cleaning.
