I live alone and have an 8-quart! I much prefer cooking large amounts less often. Also, you can fit larger cuts of meat, like pork shoulders. But you have to like leftovers.
does anyone know what is the max short grain dry rice one can put in 6 qt vs 8 qt? i bought two 6 qt duo as that was the only available in the stores (kind of pricey before when i bought, no sales), now you can get them almost 1/2 off....i never use the yogurt function. i also bought 2 inner pots as i learned needed to cook multiple things sometimes. recently, i had to cook for big group to help the out frontliners....i used the 2 6qt and had both extra inner pots (4 batches)...i found that i may need to get an 8 qt one in the future if i cook for groups again. i cooked the rice and beans separately in the pots and the rice at the bottom end up being too mushy. so if you need to cook rice in it, i think perhaps the max may only be 5 cups dry? when i cooked 3 cups it came out well....i will experiment again in the future when i hvae to do a potluck
One thing I can suggest with IP cooking it’s not the amount food but rather its thickness. So as long as rice has enough room to double it should work. Good luck!
Hi, wondering do you like lid/handle on Lux? I think is annoying, can’t grab with whole hand and also lid can’t rest on those handles( which duo has). Thanks
The one thing i wanted to see is the very thing I didn’t see. I wanted to see a side by side comparison of the internal pots and the difference between 6&8 qrts.
My first time watching your video's. I like them and will watch more:-) If I may make a small suggestion, the background music is a little too high in the edit. I'd rather hear what you're saying and have your voice more prevalent, I like the music, just not that pronounced. Great video and it helped me make a decision, thank you!
*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.*
