Regularly $75.23, you can get the 3-quart model today for $49.98 for a savings of $25.25. That’s a pretty great price for this adorable multi-cooker, which is the perfect size for whipping up a side dish or dinner for two.
While we haven’t tested this model specifically, we did include the nine-in-one Instant Pot 6-quart Duo Plus ($119.95), the eleven-in-one Duo Crisp ($179.95) and the seven-in-one Duo60 ($89), in our roundup of the best pressure cookers.
Of the three, the Duo60, which cooked decently and was simple to use, is the most similar to the Instant Pot Duo Nova that’s on sale here. QVC shoppers love the Nova, rating it with a solid 4.5 stars and noting that it was easy to use and clean. Some also raved over its compact size, which they say was perfect for use in their motorhomes.
Like the Duo 60, the Duo Nova has seven differing cooking functions: pressure cooker, sauté and keep warm, slow cook, steam, rice cook and even “yogurt,” which will allow you to experiment with making homemade yogurt. In short, pretty much anything you can cook on the stove or in the oven, you can make in this Instant Pot.
With an easy-seal lid (an upgrade over the regular Duo), a stainless-steel pot and a safety lock, the Duo Nova is the perfect addition to any kitchen.
I myself have been an Instant Pot user for years, and it’s easily the one kitchen appliance I use the most, with the exception of my coffee maker. In fact, it’s something I wouldn’t want to live without. While I use a larger 6-quart model, which is big enough to feed my family of three, this 3-quart model is perfect for making separate dishes that might require less cooking time or for those looking for smaller cooking portions. From beef stews to baked potatoes, steamed corn, mac and cheese and even dessert, there’s nothing I haven’t tried to make in my Instant Pot that hasn’t come out perfect.
We don’t know when this QVC sale price might disappear, however, so you’ll want to grab this model while it’s hot!
