Soon, you’ll hear and see small amounts of steam coming from the top of the lid. Just keep your hands and face away from the steam. Don’t worry – it should go away and it shouldn’t happen again after the first use.
Hi Emily – I have a separate air fryer, so I don’t use the air fryer lid very often. The Duo Crisp does not have the Yogurt function nor some of the other shortcut buttons like rice, brown rice, etc. The Instant Pot Duo Gourmet offers some of the newer, in-demand cooking features buttons at an affordable price point. It has a similar button layout to the Duo Plus, the auto-seal lid I love, and comes with accessories like the mini mitts, the ladle, and rice paddle.
However, if you like leftovers, cooking pot-in-pot , or two-fer meals (e.g., cooking roast one night then cutting it into beef tips and gravy the next night), I’d recommend the 6-quart. In what we’ve found to be the most differentiating of our cooking tests, the saute test; the DUO Nova performed wonderfully. It got hot enough to easily brown eve hearty veggies like carrots and made quick work of diced onions.
What is the operating psi level for the Duo Nova for the low pressure and the high pressure? Also what is the psi levels for the Instant Pot Pro. I am trying to decide which one I will purchase and it depends of the psi levels.
The Instant Pot Duo is the most popular, best-selling Instant Pot of all time. It’s a step up from the base model Lux because it cooks at High and Low Pressure. Williams Sonoma moosoo air fryer has a limited edition line of Star Wars themed Instant Pot Duos. I’m particularly fond of R2D2, though to my disappointment, it doesn’t beep like R2 when you’re cooking.
It’s easy to forget to move it to Sealing.The Steam Release Button is pushed down to lock into venting mode and turned counter-clockwise to seal again. Press the Cancel button to end any selected function. The float valve will go from the Down position to the Up position.
During slow cooking the handles and sides all stayed cool, the lid reached 113 F/ 45 C which isn’t too warm to touch. This gully almost inevitably gathers some crumbs or condensation or whatnot during the stirring and serving process and can be a bit difficult to clean. However, the Duo Nova has an upgraded lid and a better-looking control panel, which is why many beginners would rather choose it for their first pressure cooking experience.
Insert either lid fin into either slot to prop the lid open. If you feel a slight resistance, wiggle the lid back and moosoo air fryer forth and the suction should release. The arrow on the lid will be lined up with the open lock icon on the base unit.
My first IP was an IP Duo and wasn’t even tempted to upgrade until the Duo Evo Plus. If you don’t yet have an Instant Pot and can possibly swing the extra bucks, the Duo Evo Plus is the one to choose. Supposedly the Duo Evo Plus was designed after collecting user comments and suggestions about what features a new model should have. The SV stands for sous vide, and the newest version replaces the Sterilize button with a Sous Vide button.
