About this product
Cook a full meal in a fraction of the usual time with your countertop doing the hard work. The Instant Pot Duo 3 Mini Multi Cooker combines seven kitchen appliances in one compact 3l unit, perfect for small households or tight counter space. Its 700W power and pressure cooking prepare dishes up to 70% faster than traditional methods, while 11 one-touch smart programmes remove guesswork from soups, rice, yoghurt, slow cooking, steaming and braising. Select your programme and the cooker adjusts pressure, temperature and time automatically for consistent results, freeing you to do other things.
It's made for convenience, featuring a dishwasher-safe stainless steel inner pot that lifts out for quick cleaning, a keep-warm function to hold food at the perfect temperature, and a timer to plan ahead. The included steam rack lets you cook healthier meals without added fats, and the removable pot makes serving straight from the cooker simple. It weighs around 3.9kg and fits neatly on your worktop without dominating space. You'll get the steam rack, a getting-started guide, and a reassuring 1-year manufacturer's guarantee in the box.

Decent Cooker
I only bought this four days ago, and it is my first pressure cooker. I have used it a couple of times and it is fairly easy to use, just follow the Pressure Cooking 101 process in the user guide as a test first. I had to buy a basket for steaming vegetables, the one that comes with the cooker is just a rack with big gaps for vegetables to fall through. It's pretty energy efficient though, compared with other methods of cooking.

Best buy

An old favorite
This was to replace my old one which i used at least twice a week for ten years. It just makes life so much easier, especially coming home from work and can set the delay timer to get it cooking as i arrive home.

Great purchased
I bought this amazing instant pot and I am using on a regular basis, save me hours in the kitchen. Pressure cooking is a life changer, I was mortified to have one for safety reasons and I concept changed drastically. Very easy to use and there is a lot of tips in the app and leaflet. Easy to wash and nothing had burned. Even deserts become so easy to do it. I am very satisfied and 5* to Argos staff, I bought the wrong one and next day I returned and bought the bigger one, just paid the additional and they didn't have available in stock, they ordered and next day ready for collection, thanks for the amazing customer service! Very happy with my purchase highly recommended!

A game changer - clichéd but true
Very glad I purchased my Instant Pot. I use the Pressure Cook or Steam programme to cook whole grains and beans saving so much time compared to stove top cooking - worth it for that alone. Very easy to use, food retains more nutrients, no more saucepans boiling over or boiling dry!

Great features
I bought this and very happy
Bala, 25 - 34
Very useful addition to the kitchen
A wide range of functions with fairly intuitive controls. Capacity is fine for 1-2 people, and takes up little space on the kitchen counter. I use this nearly every day.

Makes cooking simple
Love it, makes cooking so much easier, and less washing up to do!!! Which is always a bonus. It's nice being able to bung everything in a pot and leave it.

Hello Moira,
The supplier has advised the following for the Instant Pot Duo 3 Mini Multi Cooker 3L:
"You can put pre-seared meat into the Instant Pot to slow cook. However, please note that this should be done in a separate pan and not in the stainless steel inner pot that comes with the Instant Pot. If you want to do everything in one pot, you can use the Saute setting to sear meat before turning to Slow Cook for the rest of the cooking process."
