Anyone have the 10 Quart Instant Pot Duo Nova?

Oh goody, a comrade in crime. Maybe we'll both end up with the 10 quart one before the week is out.

Since we have 2 houses, I could probably justify getting the 10qt for home and take the current 6qt to the vacay house.

I would love to be able to make a much larger pot of stock at a time. That way I could take half of it and reduce it to demi glace or glace de viande. With my 6qt pot I can only get 2qts of stock at a time. That's a decent amount of stock to have on hand, but not enough to reduce any down.

I have the new 8 Qt Instant Pot Duo & Crisper (air fryer lid with roasting/baking inserts). Made beef stew last night that would have served 6 with large bowls easily. Watch out for those BBAB coupons. They have started to disallow using them on certain items - we wanted a toaster oven, but all of them have "no discount coupons allowed". You need to check it carefully on the price.

The thing about pressure cookers is that you can only fill them 2/3 full. So a 6 quart Instant Pot is only capable of making 4 quarts of whatever. That's why the 10 quart one is so attractive to me. Between 6 and 7 quarts of volume means I can make nearly the amounts of soups, etc. that I normally do in my stock pot.

Polarbear777 , that 12 quart stovetop pressure cooker must be a beast. I'm impressed.

I have the 6 & 8 QT Ninja Foodi and they are awesome. I appreciate being able to use it as an air fryer as well as a pressure cooker. I even have the grill grates and have done some burgers, steaks, and chicken cutlets when I'm not feeling like battling the snow- Not sure if the one you're looking at has the dry heat capabilities but if you have the space these devices get my nod regardless.

I have a 12 qt stovetop pressure cooker for that reason. I don’t know there were electrics that big and cheap now.

Make a gift for HIM. ... then offer to use it so he doesn’t have to.

...Just remind Mr. fzxdoc of that time his daughter ran out of soup before everybody got served!

Sounds like a good rationalization, Steve R. . I may have to use it. Thanks.

I've been through similar decisions myself a few times, and I always come back to the realization that I have never wished that I had a smaller grill, utility trailer, deck, etc. Just remind Mr. fzxdoc of that time his daughter ran out of soup before everybody got served!
