Instant Pot Duo Plus 8-Quart Review: a big, quiet workhorse for batch cooking

β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

After using the Instant Pot Duo Plus 8-Quart regularly, my take is pretty straightforward: it’s a big, quiet, reliable workhorse.

β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

Overall, the Ninja MC1001 Foodi PossibleCooker PRO is a practical, no-drama workhorse. It’s not magic, but it does make everyday cooking easier if you like big-batch, one-pot style meals.
