    Everything you can make in a 6 Qt, you can make in a 3 Qt. Most instant pot recipes can just be halved. (yes, larger joints, whole chickens etc. are the exception.) I live alone , and have a small kitchen. Kitchen space is a consideration too. I,m super happy with my 3 Qt Duo.

    Another reason to have the 3 qt is if you're living an RV or van where space is premium. There's also a program button you may want is sous vide. If your Instant Pot doesn't have the sous vide button or setting, you can't use it for sous vide or at least that's what I've read. If you live alone or just with someone else, I think the 3 qt will work as you won't be wasting food. You'll be buying food that will fit in a 3 qt Instant Pot. You can probably do a small prime rib in a 3 qt and most probably two or three single serving steaks for sous vide. If you're stuck with a large prime rib, you probably can cut it in into sections that will fit in a 3 qt and either freeze the uncooked sections long term dry age it in your fridge and cook it when it's matured.

    When deciding to try an Instant Pot, I was using Kohl’s Cash, so bought a 4 quart Zavor pot for a great sale price. There’s just my husband and me, and I’d been using a 4 quart slow cooker after giving away my 6 quart slow cooker as too large. The surprise is how much more I can do with an Instant Pot, so now I’m really thinking I need to add a 6 quart model, an extra inner pot, more seals, and one of those (or more) plastic lid covers for marinating meat. Finding your channel is such a wonderful blessing. Now I can make better choices about those purchases!! Thank you for all your knowledge and wisdom.

    Great job on the video, Lisa! We also decided on the 6 qt Duo, a Star Wars R2D2 special edition that Williams-Sonoma had on sale. We’ve been amazed at the quality of the foods that can be made in it, and the speed at which you can make them! You make a great point on having more than one... within a week we ordered a second 6 qt so we could do multiple meal items at the same time. The addition was a Darth Vader version, so now our Instant Pots can cover both sides of The Force at once. Balanced meals. :)

    Hi Lisa, I am LDS from Toronto, On, Canada.. I found myself needing cornea transplants in 2015 and unable to cook. I had used a stovetop pressure cooker, Lagostina, for many, many years but I needed to change so I bought the electrical kind that is so much easier to cook with. It turns out my husband had to take over the cooking. He loves the 6 quart duo instant Pot. I am glad for the purchase because he cooks vegetables. It’s really hard when you can’t see to cook. I received my transplants after about 1 year. I am ok now but 2 years ago I broke my left hip. My husband really had to learn to do everything. He is my assistant. He is 80. All our married life we have stuck to the traditional way so it was not easy to change things. On top of it all I was born in France so I am a fairly good cook and demanding of good tasting food. Thanks for helping people!

I live alone but things like a big batch of tamales freeze well and are great for a quick lunch or snack so that's when the big guy comes out to play. Also multiple racks of ribs and whole corn work better in the 8 . Thank you for what you do.

    Nice video, but I would recommend the 8 quart or now even the 10 quart. Why? Well you can only fill them about 2/3 of the way for one. If space isn't a factor you can do everything in the larger instant pots you can do in the smaller ones. Finally, I'm single but I make huge batches of food and then freeze many meals. This is super convenient. I have the 8 quart and have not regretted it at all. 10 quart was not available when I purchased mine or I would have bought the 10 quart.

It's my first time buying it and I'm torn which one to own first since I am also limited with kitchen storage with my small apartment. This video has really helped me decide. Thank you Lisa.❤️

    Nice video, Lisa -- well-done, informative, pleasant to watch. I've been loving my IP for several months, now, and often use it more than once-per-day, starting with steel cut oats, cooked in the bowl I eat them from, on the trivet. The versatility of use with it has moved my other counter-top assistant -- the air fryer -- to the utility closet, where I can fish it out when-needed, which is far less frequently than the IP! New users should especially appreciate your pointing out that the lid can be propped on the base unit's handles. I'm one who made the expensive mistake of absentmindedly setting my lid down on a hot stovetop, resulting in excessive meltage. I see that others have also learned this lesson the hard way. Perhaps your video will help them avoid this!

I generally leave the Mini out on counter, to cook rice, hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, Mac & cheese, rice pudding, and most of all, YOGURT. I have to say, the Duo is so much easier to operate than the Ultra; it is more user-friendly and the Duo is less expensive.

    I have the 3 Quart Instant Pot because I am a travel nurse and I live in a camper. The 3 quart is the right size to fit in my camper on my kitchen counter and it cooks smaller amounts for just me. I know you can cook smaller amounts in the 6 quart but it was really too big to fit on my small counter in my camper. Eventually when I stop traveling and move into a house I’ll probably get the 6 quart, but the 3 quart is really really nice, you just have to be careful with the recipes because most of the recipes are for 6 quarts and you have to downsize them for the 3 quart. Downsize does not always mean cut in half.

My intention was giving my son one because he does a lot of pressure cooking, me I am kind of petrified because I never used any type of pressure cooker. Someone once told me that their pressure cooker blew up and food was on their ceiling and so I'm watching you to make sure that I'm getting the right information so I don't make any mistakes as they have without a pressure cooker I'm sure the instant pot is definitely not like pressure cooker. I just wanted to contact you and say that I've watched a few of your videos on KZread and I'm slowly getting up enough courage to use the instant pot and not allowed to intimidate me over what happened kissed someone else with the regular pressure cooker. I look forward looking at your recipes and my intention my first intention I thought of making was yogurt do you think that's a good one to use for the first time? Thank you again for your good informational videos I look forward to seeing your recipes and trying new things with this instant pot💜 much love and respect, to you and your family.stay safe and healthy💙

    How have your instant pot cooking been? I just bought one last week and I've cooked SOOO many meals. An entire rack of ribs, a whole chicken, rice (the best rice I've ever had. Seriously, it tasted like a completely dif brand of rice), but yogurt has been my fav.

    My daughter is basically vegetarian, and my boys are young, so they don’t eat big portions yet, so I love my 6 quart, but always have too much leftovers, and have to try to make smaller batches of meals. That’s why I think the 3 quart will serve my needs better as I’m mostly cooking for myself, and occasionally my husband (I work day shift, and he usually works through dinner, and gets food while he’s out.) I’m sure the 6 quart will be more handy once my boys are teenagers. I’ve got two boys, one on the way, and a step-son who’s over every other weekend.

    I've had my pot several years and I too selected the 6 qt.pot. I wanted the yogurt setting and make my own yogurt all the time in it. I saved smallish jars,like olive jars to make my yogurt in and set the time for 10 1/2 hours.

    I started with an Instant Pot Lux. 6 qt. I wanted a basic to see if I liked it. I do. Next I bought a IP Duo Plus 6qt. Today I found a bargain on a IP Duo 3 qt. I really like my Instant Pots. My husband is the better cook in our house, but I’m getting pretty good with my IP’s. I got the 3qt mostly for side dishes. I didn’t want to use one of the other ones to do that. I really like your recommendation for proofing dough. T.Y. 😃

    Great to know that you have multiple Instant Pots! I got the 3 quart Instant Pot Duo Plus (can't recall what the "Plus" means, already!) because it's just my husband and me most of the time and I have very little space to put any appliance on a "non-combustible" surface. I ordered some silicone heat-protector pads for the counter, that I hope will make it so I do not have to put the pot on the stovetop between burners (obviously, when not using the stove!). However, I'm going to do that for the "test" run of the little 3 quart Instant Pot Duo Plus. Thank you!

    I went for the 3 because I am on my own but also one of the main things I bought it for was to cook rice. So I do not want a lot of leftover rice which I don't like warmed up and I thought if I put one cup in that it might get dry at the bottom because it could be a too-small a quantity. Now I am worried I should have got the 6. However, reading the reviews lots of people saying 3 is fine for one person.
