What Instant Pot is Best?

There are so many Instant Pot models out there – it can be a little overwhelming.

The first Instant Pot I got was the DUO 60 6 quart, and it’s worked wonderfully for me over the years. I think that both the 6 and 8 quart are excellent options for beginners and advanced users.

I recently got the Ultra 8 quart, and I’ve been really liking it. It’s got a few more bells and whistles, but when it comes down to it – they both cook about the same!

For side dishes, you may even want to consider the Instant Pot Mini. It’s a smaller Instant Pot that is perfect for smaller portions.
