Anyone have the 10 Quart Instant Pot Duo Nova?

[fzxdoc]

I almost got the 8 quart IP when it came out, but then read that most recipes on the interwebs are written for 6 quart pots. So I deferred. I'm glad I did because the 10 quart is a gamechanger. You have to want to make large quantities to use it, which is right up my particular alley.

It was for that reason that I purchased an 8-quart. It gives me the volume of my Dutch ovens.
If I was cooking for a "crowd" I would definitely look at the 10-quart.

Resistance is futile.

ofelles - I also have the 10 qt and like it a lot. I can make 1 gallon of stock at a time in it. For smaller quantities of stuff, I just do pot-in-pot technique. Works great.

[ofelles]

Thanks. Yes I'm a firm believer in "Bigger is Better". And I make large batches of everything. Might not be able to resist much longer.

I did get one, ofelles and I really like it. It's a monster, though, compared to the 6qt. one I have. Nothing wrong with owning a monster IP.

fzxdoc did you get the 10qt? Are you still liking it? Damn mcs is kicking in. I'm thinking it would help when making stocks.

Been there, done that, Bkhuna .

fzxdoc I shouldn't drink and post

Yup!

fzxdoc , Kathryn, I mis-spoke. I had everything but the two drumstick bones in there,. But still, it was a lot of bones. I got around 3quarts of stock out of it. The water level was 2/3, but some of the bones were above that. Not by much.

[fzxdoc]

When you take up so much volume with that carcass, Thunder77 , in the 8 quart model, how much stock do you get?

It’s probably smaller than the 10qt instant pot because it’s just a pot with a gasket lid. No insulation no electronics. Of course you do have to baby sit it while using.

I have 2 8-quart models now after I won a second one. I wish I had a 3-quart.

I don’t have the 10 qt, but I do have the 8 qt and I’m really glad I bought it vs the 6 qt. Great for large batches of soup and stew.
