Instant Pot Duo Plus vs. Instant Pot Duo

[@donpayette7062]

Jeff, you didn't really talk about my favorite differences. The Duo always uses times in minutes, the Plus uses hours: minutes. For example, to pressure cook for an hour and 25 minutes, on the Plus you set 1:25, on the Duo you set 85. The Plus also has a removable power cord, much better for stowing. Just take the cord off and put it in the pot. The Duo is a permanently attached cord. I have the Plus

[@rsilvers129]

What you say is only true for old Duos (like the one in this video). I have a Duo V3 and the cord is removable. Also the control panel differs a bunch between older and newer DUOs.

[@FLOODOFSINS]

@@rsilvers129 when I look on Amazon, it doesn't tell you what version the duo plus is like version 2 or 3

[@rsilvers129]

No - but you can tell by the control panel button names.

[@unboxinging882]

I just bought the plus on this discount and it is awesome! For best price: amzn.to/2Y5eLVm

[@tinalindsey1598]

Thank you!! That was my confusion with mine. i just got the Duo Plus and could not figure out if the display meant hours or seconds. Love your example of 1:25!

[@ritasumigray1612]

You are awesome!! This is the first time I didn't get annoyed by someone spending way too much time at the beginning telling me what they were going to do. You got to it and didn't let up until the end. Thank you

[@justinango7853]

Dude. You are a life saver. I never used my insta pot because i prefer old fashioned cooking and finally did thinking it was self explanatory. Nope! Tried three times thinking it was working. Had to watch multiple videos until I found yours. THANK YOU.

[@RonRicho]

I really have to say that your review and instructional videos are among the absolute best on the internet. Very concise and to the point without a lot of extra ego-babble that so many have. Good work. Thanks. Ron

[@nat3803]

You are a life saver. I've had my Instant Pot Duo Plus for a few months, but didn't think I could work it correctly. I am on my way to eating fast and delicious food. THANK SO MUCH.

[@googlehater3079]

I ordered the Duo Plus 60 on Amazon's 2019 Black Friday ($69). I then saw the Duo 60 for $49 that listed accessories. As I wasn't sure the Plus had the $8 steamer rack, I cancelled that order & replaced it with the Duo @ 11:59 PM. I was alerted the next day the Plus had been shipped & couldn't be cancelled, so now I have both models. I have until 1-31-20 to send one back. When the PLUS came it wasn't the same IP shown in the ad. The one I got included sous vide. Since many of the beginner's YT videos are for the Duo 60, I have been using it almost daily. I pulled out the Plus today to test the sealing rings I just received & couldn't figure out how to seal it, but I take it from your video, the obvious choice would be the PLUS for $20 more.

[@nsheintal]

THIS and ONLY this got me started using my Instant Pot Duo Plus. I was SO nervous until you helped me!!! Thank you so very much! I subscribed to you.

[@svetamatvey]

My Instant Pot doesn't have steam program. But have steam rack. How can I cook on steam?

[@johnsparkman2007]

OMG! I've been using my Instant Pot for 6 weeks now and had NO idea there was a film on the control panel.. Lol! Looks even better now. I just love this thing it's changed my life!!

[@JesseCohen]

The Duo Plus60 6qt was my gift to me and my wife for CyberMonday, at 79.95usd. So stoked to get going with this thing! Thanks for your channel, and all the clear instruction. Inaugural stew tonight I think...

[@HEADBANGRR]

Great info. Thank you for your advice. I bought a duo Plus on eBay & got a killer deal on it! I too prefer the duo plus over the ultra. It saves time & less hassle.

[@batman1169]

I Pressure cooked and sped up this video....Go to 9:40 to see the difference of models!! Great review and I subscribed to you! :)

[@christinaaugustine27]

Love your explanation about these two pots… wished I chanced upon your channel a week earlier caused I just bought my IP Duo60 and it was delivered 2 days ago. Nonetheless, will try your amazing recipes soon. Maybe I will consider buying the Duo plus in the 3 qt in the near future . I’m your new subbie ;-)

[@flashb2b]

I just got an instant pot Duo plus 60. Your video is the best one for beginners as you cover many of the features. I subscribed to your site. Thanks.

[@Cassiea255]

I have the duo plus. I am looking for accessories but didn't know the difference between the two models. Now I do. Thanks

[@dianna7043]

Thank you. I just got a 8 quart Duo Plus. But most of the recipe videos say hit manual. I read the instructions and figured it out but still questioned myself. Thank you for showing the difference.

[@thriftylady662]

Thank you for this video. I have a Duo and just bought a Duo Plus today and you explain the differences very well. l

[@mauricemcdaniel5790]

Thank you for explaining the difference I ordered the duo, since my crockpot express failed after one year.

[@vedaa9584]

THANK YOU!!! Short, sweet and to the point. Now I know that I need the Duo Plus.

[@redgeminiarts3674]

LOL...me too

[@thesnoozebutton2568]

I love mi e I have the 8 duo plus. Not that I need one that big but at least I don't have to worry about over filling it. Also I was sauteing and went to out my liquid in to scrape the bits off the bottom I didn't get it all off but I didn't think it mattered. So when I dumped all the ingredients in and turned it on after a few seconds it said "Burn" and it wouldnt cook. It scared the you know what out of me. So make sure you get all the bits off the bottom after sauteing 😄

[@tatianasokolova9468]

Grate video for me as a beginner: I got a Duo Plus as a gift, but must of tutorials done on previous models. Thank you 👍🏻

[@christinef317]

This was the only model I could get my hands on after Christmas and I LOVE it! Highly recommend!

[@fidenciaesqueda5174]

Thank you for encouraging us with your helpful tips. You make it fun and easy using the Instant Pot. Thank you for sharing.

[@acntbad97]

Oh thank you so much for answering my question regarding the countdown! Now I know I have to wait. Thanks again!!

[@phetinthasanh7083]

I love that blue LED, take my money!

[@uhn-uh-bash-id-lee-k-ran]

I have duo 60 that’s over 2 yrs old and just bought duo60 plus because I can’t imagine ever being without an Instant Pot. lol

[@leahnicole725]

This was So helpful. I was nervous and overwhelmed busing my duo for the first time so thanks for making this video

[@yagmurbegli3597]

Hi . INSTANT POT Pressure Cooker is the cheapest ..... in this link .... amzn.to/2DXrz7C

[@moncher2797]

I like your videos. I hear you say many, many times that you don’t use the presets on the IP. For a long time you weren’t being heard. Until the Evo came out. I think they hung onto the presets so long because many people who don’t understand the pressure cooker think the presets are carved in stone (well the rice button is). I’ve decided to adapt the presets to my specific needs. For example, I make a lot of medium boiled eggs, so I’ve changed the egg button to those specific parameters. It’s kind of nice just pressing one button. I’ve changed “porridge “ (who eats that?) to my settings for steel cut oats. I think you get the idea. Eventually I will alter all the presets to my my needs since they remember the last settings used. It’s kind of like using the quick dial feature on your smart phone where you only have to press one number for a frequently used connection. It’s just a suggestion that maybe you could show people how to take advantage of having the ‘unused” presets. You are the one to reach many people & you’re a good teacher.

[@randyfukuda8562]

Thanks so much for the comprehensive review of both models Jeff! Great as always!

[@FishBeeProductions]

Awesome video! We just got the duo plus 60 and didn’t have a clue before this video.

[@jecriggs]

Thanks for the review, Jeffrey. Good to know that there's not a lot of difference, and not worth buying the Duo Plus if you already have a Duo. I just wanted to mention that I am one of the apparently few people that does use some of the preset buttons on my Instant Pot. The presets have an advantage for me because the they keep/save the last time that I input, and that I find is useful for recipes that I do a lot; i.e., family favourites. I use the Pressure Cook/Manual buttons for trying out new recipes and/or recipes I don't cook all that often.

[@annek1226]

I wish they all had the same buttons in the same places! I’m forever pushing the wrong one!

[@50kT]

YEaa wtf.. I'm supposed to impress my wife with my cooking, but the chicken isn't done and I pressed the "poultry" button that wasn't in the directions that I was following!! Mine doesn't have a "manual" button!! FUCKITY SHIT I'm hungrrryyyyyyy

[@msotero4949]

50kT I never use the preset buttons or the programmable buttons. Just use your Pressure cooker button. That will allow you to set your own time.

[@TheRealJoeyB]

Great review, just have used my new IP, once, did your baby back ribs, oh my, this little device is a game changer....

[@denisegiroux3637]

Thanks jeffrey!!! My duo has the pressure cook on the upper left where yours is on the right. I’m making yogurt today as my first usage!!!

[@lizf4717]

I have the 8 quart ip and I just love it everything comes out so delicious don't know why I waited so long to purchase one. My meal plans are made so much easier and clean up is a snap thanks jeffery

[@gracejesus9346]

Thanks for your honesty for it helps me decides and bring more reviews please and God bless you

[@SSaaNNddYY77]

Your videos are sooo helpful! You explain all that I question and make it easy to understand. Thank you!

[@StacyandThomas]

Just bought the duo plus mini yesterday. So it will be interesting to see how I like the buttons compared to the knob.

[@gracielou4075]

I just got a Instant Pot Duo Plus 60 My first was a IP Lux. I had my first issue with the Food Burn feature. Even though I deglazed the inner pot it still stuck. At least I had a backup. I was making your Champagne Chicken Recipe. I managed to save it. I don’t know what happened. It did fine on the water test. My poor mushrooms stuck on the bottom.

[@rsilvers129]

This is a Duo V2. The V3 has been out and is more like the Plus in how the buttons work, but still with the retro display.

[@malirabbit6228]

Thanks for the comparison of the two pots! The duo plus for me! Again thanks dear!

[@StacyandThomas]

I would agree that I like the buttons better than the Ultra knob. Seriously thinking about getting the duo plus. Also have been having multiple issues with the Ultra lid. :( Maybe that is just a fluke, IDK. But kind of regretting that I didn't get the duo plus to begin with.

[@redgeminiarts3674]

Thank you for sharing. I’m going for the Plus.

[@mach2262]

Really enjoyed your tutorial. Thank you for sharing 👏👏👏

[@wmiller5693]

very helpful...just got the plus. thanks!

[@donpayette7062]

He only mentions my favorite feature of the Plus one time, and not in the summary. The time is in hours and minutes. So an hour and a half is 1:30, not 90. This should be stressed since it makes the Plus much more attractive.

[@oksills]

I agree! What about the removable cord? I’ve read one review saying it has one and another saying it does not. I’m trying to decide which to by and I do need a removable cord. Care to let me know what yours has? Thanks

[@TastyChickenLegs]

Excellent video. Very clear and concise.

[@sugunabachoti3322]

Very helpful Jeff. Well explained.

[@КоляАртёмов-ь1ы]

*I love the instant pot so much! I have made quinoa, chicken, chili, asparagus **MyBest.Kitchen** and yogurt in it so far. The only thing that didn't work great was the asparagus. I cooked it for 1 minute and it was still overdone. It is a timesaver and uses much less energy than my gas stove.*

[@lostinhongkong]

Is the pot insert the same on both models? My Duo (reg) just died and thinking about getting the + but want to use the old inserts I've already had.

[@ilovephotography1254]

Thanks for sharing. I love your recipes as well as your reviews. Your content concise, yet rich in info. My only request if possible, please share some recipes that use healthy and less processed ingredients. Best Wishes to you in 2019

[@susandevoe6002]

Wow...lots to learn!!

[@Querty000]

Impressive presentation skills. 👏🏼

[@meowmi1130]

Great review! Very useful.

[@3bartboysplus]

can you please talk about the "Delay Start" function.

[@remingtonfrog3170]

Instant Pot is The Bomb or what🤔😃👍🏻 There’s one on eBay for 45.00 . Maybe I should grab it, Thanks for video !😁Classic!

[@sabbyn.1815]

Haha! Same reason for Duo Plus...looks nicer!

[@Aliwala69]

Very nice basic review, so simple.

[@dmarie517]

Great Tutorial! Can you make "Cake" in the Duo without the preset? Has anyone made a cake in the Duo setting the pressure level and time manually (without a cake preset)? It seems the prices of the unit is set on the presets.

[@cicicici42]

DMarie H yes you can

[@D3D587]

Duo plus looks like a good in between from the Duo and the Ultra.

[@trollgrgg2672]

Another great and informative video. I saw some dude in another video setting a specific time (not the pre-set time) on an instant pot. Is that possible?

[@taniam.1781]

I have the Duo with the blue letters. First time user. I tried plain water after watching your video and it steamed almost the entire time it was building pressure, is that what it should do? Finally after 20 minutes or so it started counting down. I messed with the valves and I did a quick release should i do quick release when I don’t want to overcook something? And just leave it alone for natural release? TIA! You seem to explain the best !

[@BeaDaNurse]

You have great videos. Thank you.

[@sylvia4425]

I've seen your review of the sexy Instant Pot ULTRA and now these two pots. If you could choose only one between the ULTRA vs. DUO PLUS...{both blue screened (knob vs. buttons)}...which would you choose? thanks for your reviews! I'm hooked. I just subbed.

[@donpayette7062]

In this review he answers your question. He likes the buttons over the knob to turn, so Duo Plus wins.

[@rebeccapinette8503]

Love these videos.

[@sascha6176]

which one would do the job if you want to set it for a certain temperature (say 48C for 24h)?

[@kymdisney11]

Super informative! Thank you, Jeff!

[@RCAVDH]

Great video, thank you for sharing!

[@Myeladagi]

can you do the same with airfryer do you have one and which one do you like the best and thanks for the tip i choose the due80 just bought one today and thanks for the instruction very very helpful oh by way you did not mention the delay buttin

[@BTbass]

I wasn't convinced that plus is worth $25 or 39% more so I went with the Duo. Thanks for the review!

[@franklinmimi]

Thank you so much . I’m a senior citizen and think I’ll get one and make a pot roast like yours. I didn’t know about putting your vegetables in foil packets . I’ll tell my daughters that tip.

[@oksills]

Stop! Don’t use aluminum foil to cook food ever! The Instant Pot is soo popular because it uses 304 grade 18/8 grade stainless steel on ALL areas that touch food. You paid extra for this healthy, nontoxic interior ( not aluminum not nonstick) now why stick that cheap aluminum in there? It is definitely a neurotoxin and carcinogen--according to every doctor, medical and research organization, scientist.... EXCEPT those that are selling it’s use (or are being educated by them)! The aluminum is most definitely transferred to the food and absorbed by the body!!

[@johnmarshall6975]

Great vid...thanks. Does the duo plus inner pot have a flat bottom like the evo plus or a domed one like the duo.

[@jokoenders]

and how long youve gath to wait before pressure cooking comes on.

[@cayleighmcclendon5433]

Does anyone know the difference between the duo evo plus and the duo plus? They are the same price right now and I do t know which one to buy!

[@Durplepurple94572]

How do you adjust the temperature?

[@kencox6166]

Hay great review can the colours be changed for the lcd (one on left) red is easier to see.

[@terryjoknowles2749]

I was able to purchase a Instant Pot Duo Plus Sous Vide (SV) at QVC yesterday was last day of sale Also Costco has them for very reasonable price I was wondering if you had any points of cookbooks videos which may be of help for me learning to sous vide??

[@1111atreides]

I've succumbed to "pressure" and I'm investigating. QUESTION: Why is this called "Duo"? Was the original Primo or something? Duo means "2" and I'm wondering to what they're referring. I don't want to buy this and find out I should've gotten the "Trio" or something. TIA!

[@dani71johnson]

Thank you, you made my decision much easier! 🥘

[@fir8550]

Please, where is the steam function on instant pot duo plus? Thanks!

[@primitiveseasons1]

Which model is the top of the line right now. I thought the Duo Nova Plus was? Can you help me with that?

[@luannehorne4848]

Great video!! Thanks!

[@BassetGirl]

Great review but please speaker a little slower. Thanks 😊

[@CC-tq3kw]

it seems not all upgrades the DUO plus has over DUO are mentioned in this video.

[@Scottylockheart]

Do you really not think we'll use the soup function, rice, porridge or stew & why not?

[@cathyjones793]

Jeff do you have a air fryer i kind of depending on you to look for a good one with no knobs all touch button

[@BellaSophia19]

Is the duo plus the same as the duo nova?

[@wesdaaawg]

When I plug mine in, all the button lights flash. Is this normal?

[@mitch374]

I started out with the 6 qt Lux (it was on sale at Kroger and I had no clue there were different models). Recently I added the Duo Plus 8 quart to my kitchen. How can I get the Pressure Luck stickers on the side of your pots???

[@elisabethlybarger6394]

The brand new model I just bought does not have either of these displays. when I try to use it as a slow cook I cant adjust the temp only the time. ARgghh

[@michelemoneywell5474]

Well done, thank you!

[@janyceimoto8750]

My steam release looks different. There are 2 knobs. One is a float valve and the other you would push to release steam. Can you tell me how to use this style?

[@jokoenders]

Why do you not give the Watt's they are useing?

[@zuzanaberankova1283]

This is my new favorite kitchen tool! Day 1 I was going to pressure cook a meat kzbin.infoUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and potato stew, decided I wouldn't eat it that night so I went with a slow cook so I could go to bed and put it away in the morning. I love that versatility! The sauté feature works great and adds tons of extra flavor to dishes, and I can easily sizzle meats in the bottom then deglaze for some restaurant worthy flavors.Big bonus - you can cook a whole frozen chicken in about 2 hours. Amazing! I've seen a couple videos, haven't tried it yet, but I will soon!

[@Rob_430]

I bake bread and understand dough can be proofed on the yogurt setting. Comment? TIA

[@MrDanbecker]

Can we do so that the display on instant pot duo plus stays on ?
