Instant Pot Viva Vs Ultra
As the former presenter in Instant Pot’s product videos, I’m often asked by readers which Instant Pot they should get. While most manufacturers retire an older model and only sell the newer one, Instant Pot still markets earlier models while introducing new ones. Plus, whenever they make a new batch they sneak in some enhancements. Minecraft mod zombie apocalypse. This gives you lots of options, but it can be confusing. There is a dizzying collection of Instant Pot model names, numbers, and versions so the first thing you should know is what all those letters and numbers mean. Then, I’ll explain the differences between the models.
Decoding Instant Pot Model Names & NumbersYou probably already figured out that “IP” stands for Instant Pot so let’s get to the good stuff.The next three letters in the name indicate the functions of the pressure cooker, which I will detail below. At the time of this writing, Instant Pot has five models for sale, the LUX, DUO, SMART, ULTRA and GEM. Their very first model (CSG) has been discontinued.The numbers indicate the size of the pressure cooker. So the number “50” stands for a 5L pressure cooker, while the number 60 is for 6L and 80 is for 8L – not all models come in all sizes.
My rule of thumb is generally 1L per person. So a 6L can cook for six people or less, and an 8L for 8 people or less. Don’t miss my detailed guide on how much you can fill the pressure cooker to see if the amount of food you feed your household matches to the size pressure cooker you need to buy.See Also:Sometimes, Instant Pot might tack on additional letters to the end of the model numbers to signify exclusive marketing relationships with retailers or version numbers. In 2018 Instant Pot decided not to just re-name existing models and two “unique” retail-specific models- NOVA for Costco and VIVA for QVC. Main Instant Pot ModelsI’m listing them in the order Instant Pot introduced them because each new model was an improvement over the preceding model (until GEM was introduced). In other words, the next Instant Pot has the same functionality as the previous ones with a few snazzy additions.The pressure multi cookers all pressure cook, slow cook and saute’. They all also have a “manual” program, this is important because it means you can tap in your own pressure cooking time and pressure, (if available).
All of the Instant Pots with pressure function come with a stainless-steel cooking surface and, most importantly, the same safety features. LUXThis is Instant Pot’s second model.
It’s now their “Economy” offering. It’s a basic 6-in-1 multi cooker that can: pressure cook, slow cook, steam, make rice, saute’ and keep warm.of this pressure cooker and even used the LUX to test recipe and ingredient timing for electric pressure cookers for.The LUX does not have a “low” pressure setting, it does not make yogurt, it does not work with the Programmable Instant Pot SMART app. DUOThis is Instant Pot’s third and most successful model so far. This is a 7-in-1 multi cooker and it can do everything the LUX can do plus make yogurt. Instant Pot listened to feedback from consumers and added a few nice touches such as two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.The DUO does not work with the Programmable Instant Pot SMART app. SMART + appI call this cooker is a million-in-1 multi cooker, it can do everything the LUX and DUO can plus, a more informative screen with larger numbers, and a programmable app that connects to the cooker via Bluetooth.
I bought one instant pot (DUO) last week, thinking it was a good buy. I had no idea there were so many models. I should have done my research first. I then went to Costco and purchased the Nova Plus.
It was $10 more than the DUO but I liked the look of the display better, even though it looked like it had the same features. When I got home, I found this sight, giving me a clear understanding of the differences between the two models. I decided to keep the Nova Plus and gave the Duo to my son for his birthday! It all worked out! The content and comments published on hip pressure cooking are for entertainment, educational and promotional purposes only.
