3qt is perfect for 1 or 2 people easy. Don't buy one too big if you don't need it. I'm glad I didn't.
I accidentally landed upon this product, as I always used the traditional cooker or electric rice cooker, and other products, ironically, I bumped into this, but not from Amazon, but youtube, while I was searching for some recipes, and there was something called as "instant pot", and Amazon helped to show this warehouse deal, which I took it. I did look into serious review online and heard from all sides on its usage and did not find really any negative review so far (except for someone who did not know how to cook it :-)), and I went with it. When I arrived, I was amazed by its quality product, beautiful finish, sturdy body, excellent color (stainless steel outer layer, and black shell combination, I liked the natural color), and of course it features, everything is designed to perfection. What also amazed me is the strong online community and its own apps for recipes, etc. which gave me enough knowledge in 1 day to get started with it and make amazing dishes, made 3 dishes, in my very first day, and all were cooked to perfection, without burning or overcooking it. Kept the flavor intact and since its all in 1 pot, cleaning was a breeze. Thanks to the designer.
I use it regularly and love its easy and quick cooking. I no longer slow cook after discovering pressure cooking. ( quicker, more flavourful, higher level of nutrients retained and easier for time management.
Proteins are fall off the bones tender even the cheapest cuts which have more flavour and cost less
Cooking dried beans is fast, waaay cheaper than canned and tastier.
The build quality is very high. I also have a cosori 2 quart which I love for its hinged lid but it’s build quality is inferior to the IP and at time of writing this review is considerably more expensive
Overall I LOVE my IP
I took one star off because I get frustrated with one design issue. The lid isn’t hinged and it also doesn’t line up when open with the slots to hold it open. As the lids are heavy ( reflects build quality ) and everything is hot after cooking an easy pivot of the lid into holding slots rather than rotating to try and line them up would be an very much liked improvement
Perfect size for a single student, honestly think anything bigger would be too big in my tiny kitchen.
Few words of advice:
- When you make anything, be prepared to experiment with time and amounts. Well, if you're an inexperienced cook like me anyway!
- Most online recipes for instant pot are for the 6qt model if they don't say outright. Finding out the best way to size them is fairly important, but again here I've really just experimented.
- Quick release is quick!!! My ceiling had a bit of spaghetti sauce on it the first time :P
If something needs to be quick released (Ie, pasta so it doesn't go soft) good idea to pulse it until you're confident it won't spatter.
Anyway, off to make breakfast in it :)

I live in a Sprinter van full-time and was using an induction burner for cooking, but since I've gotten this little gem, I haven't used the induction burner once!
This is so easy to use, and it's the perfect size for one or two people. I've been making a lot of stews, and I'll saute the onions, carrots, and meat (if I'm using meat) then add everything else, seal it, and set it for 7 minutes on high pressure. I let it release naturally and have a perfectly cooked, tasty meal every time. This gives me enough for 4 or 5 servings.
I also quick soaked beans the other day by covering them with water, hitting pressure for 5 min. then letting it release naturally and let it sit (not on keep warm) for a couple of hours.
I'll often make dinner right after I reheat my lunch, and make sure the keep warm function is on. I'm able to drive with it in my sink and have a hot, healthy, delicious meal waiting for me when I'm done driving.
I've even baked banana bread in it!!! So exciting, because I don't have an oven. It turned out SO good! I used one of the containers and the lid from my To-Go Ware stainless steel lunch container to bake it in on the rack.
Because this cooks so quickly, it is very easy on my solar system. I can reheat leftovers on saute in 4 minutes, and it's only drawing 67a while it's on.
I did have a VitaClay, that I absolutely loved for making beans, and especially bone broth, but it takes much longer to cook and is heavier. So, more battery drain, more storage space, and more weight as compared to the Instant Pot Mini and the Mini wins on each count!

To put the 3qt vs 6qt in perspective: the 3qt pot does not actually cook 3 quarts because you can't fill it all the way to the top. There's a line that's oh, an inch or two below the lip that's the Max Fill line, because the pressure cooker needs extra room to do its thing. Then, if you're adding the trivet, you're losing another inch of space. So really your cooking space is more like 2 quarts, like a small sauce pan.
Imagine you're cooking ALL of your meals with nothing bigger than a sauce pan.
Then you've got the 6qt pot, which is like the big pots you use to boil pasta. Or make soup.
Pasta pot vs sauce pan. You see what I'm saying?
Anyway, now my problem is that I have to stop cooking so often because I have no more room in my freezer... :)
********
ABOUT THE 3 QT DUO --- As Instant Pots go, I'll not reiterate what everyone else says but agree that it's a game changer, and totally revolutionizes your cooking. However, I have some regrets...
3QT Too Small for Lazy Cooks Like Me --- When I to move into my Airstream trailer full time, I decided to get an Instant Pot as I thought it would help minimize the amount of cooking appliances I needed. And of course, being solo (plus a dog and cat) I figured the 3Qt was the better choice. After 7 months with it, I am desperate to trade my 3Qt for the 6QT. I like cooking, but I'm lazy and would prefer to make a large batch once and have left overs, than have to cook for every meal. Reheating leftovers is far easier to clean up than cooking a fresh meal. I'm lazy at cleaning, too.
Instant Pot Learning Curve --- Instant Pot cooking takes some getting used to, and while there is a great abundance of tips and such online, which are fabulous, about 95% of them are for 6QT or larger. Finding good, appropriate recipes for the 3QT is frustrating and has led to lots of failed meals, as ingredients plus liquids, cooking time, etc are all out of proportion.
Where Are All The Accessories for 3QT? --- In the same vein as above, there are tons and tons of accessories for the Instant Pot, but... they're all for 6QT, not a lot for 3QT. I'm starting to see more 3QT-sized accessories (like steam baskets, gaskets, lids, egg bites silicone molds, etc), but only from, like, a single manufacturer. As opposed to stuff for the 6 qt, where you've got a dozen steam baskets to choose from.
Home Cooked Dog Food --- Finally, as I'm traveling a lot city to city, I've started making food for my dog (an 80lb Labrador) as we could never find the brand of dog kibble that she liked and that was good for her. In this situation, the Instant Pot has been my savior, as it's soooo easy to just plop a bunch of raw, frozen chicken or other meats into the pot, slap on lid, push a button and within the hour, I've got tons of fall-off-the-bone meat for my pup's next breakfast (because I inevitably forget to cook for her the night before, and have to do it right at her mealtime). But normal instances when making a batch of her food, again, because I have the 3QT, I could only cook a portion of the meat, take it out, do a quick scrub of the pot before cooking the other portion - whereas with a 6QT that could be done with just one cycle.
In short, if you're thinking about getting a 3Qt for your first and only Instant Pot, don't! Just go for the 6Qt and make your life much easier.
Amazon should not be selling this in India. Read ‘important’ info provided with warranty: Should not use in countries with 220V supply. Do not use Adapter. This product was recalled in USA. This is a fire hazard.
Su uso es super sencillo pero si hay que leer bien las instrucciones ya que tiene varias recomendaciones y advertencias muy importantes.
Hasta el dia de hoy solo la he usado para preparar arroz blanco y arroz integral, para el arroz blanco tiene un programa automatico, simplemente llenas de arroz, la misma cantidad de agua, sazonas, pones la tapa y presionas el boton que dice Arroz y listo, solo esperar alrededor de 20 min a que emita un sonido, liberas la valvula de presion y el arroz queda perfecto. (Eso de que tarda 12 min, no es en total, primero hay que esperar a que la olla se caliente y haya presion, esto tarda un buen rato, alrededor de 6-8 min antes de empezar la cuenta regresiva)
Viene con un recetario y una guia que te ayuda a saber tiempos de coccion, ademas de que en internet hay muchas recetas y consejos utiles, no dudo que se puedan preparar muchas cosas.
El tamano es perfecto para hasta 3 o 4 personas (pensando en porciones de arroz). En mi caso solo yo la uso y la verdad no siento que le falte nada. es super practica, se lava facil y la guardas en la alacena.
