I bought this because I wanted a duplicate of the stainless steel Instant Pot insert I got when I bought my Duo, and this is exactly it! Same markings, same weight. If it performs as well as the original, I will be very satisfied. I will update the review if it disappoints!Edit: I've had it for months and it really is indistinguishable from the original insert I got. I've been so happy to be able to make a pot of something, remove the insert, and make other pot of something right after with my other insert! (I like making batched meals for the week). I also highly recommend the silicone lids they sell for these pots, makes storage a breeze.

I delayed buying the extra pot, pleased l bought it as can save me time when using the duo pot. I have tried most of the functions and adjusted my own recipes to use the appliance. Saving time and fuel. The second inner pot was for this reason. As it is stainless steel washes easily and is of a good quality .

Very happy with my inner pot. Now I can cook multiple dishes without scooping out and cleaning the pot as I can just swap it out with the other inner pot and put a lid on it. I also ordered the float valve with silicone cap which seemed to have been delayed or lost with delivery but after contacting customer services they immediately sorted that out plus sent an extra one. Great product and customer services which seems to become rarer these days. I love my Instant Pro Crisp pot and will not be able to live without it, it makes life so much easier/simpler.

Instant Pot is my pandemic buddy... I've been using it more than ever now that there isn't much to do but answer email and zoom and cook. So I got tired of wanting to cook something only to realize that I hadn't washed the inner pot from the last time. It seemed like it might be a good idea to have an extra pot on hand, and it was! It's really handy. I'm not sure what else to say... the new pot seems every bit as good as the original so I presume it will last for many years. I think the shape might be ever-so-slightly different but both fit equally well, and I haven't bothered to set them side-by-side and intensely scrutinize them for subtle variations. Maybe tomorrow. (We have to keep ourselves entertained somehow.)
I purchased my 6 qt duo 7 two years ago and consider it a good purchase. The Instantpot is really nice for many reasons, two big ones, especially for the not so strong young and old are that it is not heavy cooking with it and cleaning it afterward and is quiet in operation. Before the Instantpot I used a 6 qt Presto stainless steel pressure cooker for about 40 years, it is quite heavy to use and clean after cooking and is very noisy in use. People that never used a stove top pressure cooker can't relate to a noisy pressure cooker experience and the unjustified fear some people had to not use one. I used mine for 40 years and it never blew up!This inner pot is a twin to the original in fit and finish so I consider it a good purchase also.My experience learned the ... MoreI purchased my 6 qt duo 7 two years ago and consider it a good purchase.

I used mine for 40 years and it never blew up!This inner pot is a twin to the original in fit and finish so I consider it a good purchase also.My experience learned the hard way is to use at least 3 cups of liquid when pressure cooking, no liquid obviously results in a smelly mess and ruined food.I bought a glass lid lid to use with my 6 qt duo 7 for when not pressure cooking food, I use the glass lid often. The Bellemain Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Steamer Steamer Basket for 6 Quart Instant Pot is an excellent partner to the 6 qt duo pot. One last item, purchase extra silicon gaskets, after cooking meat they will retain the meat smell and smell will not wash off. Vinegar or lemon juice will remove the smell but is a chore clean it so it may be wise to have a few spare gaskets on hand anyway, one for vegetables and other for meat.I cooked rice in my Instantpot once or twice, not a good experience for me. I prefer Lundberg wild rice mix cooked with low sodium chicken broth, not water using my Sanyo fuzzy logic rice cooker instead. Cooking this rice I use 8 oz cup rice to 8 oz chicken broth, yields a crunchy nutty texture rice, for softer rice increase the liquid.
Heavy bottomed and well made, but I use the nonstick pot from my older Aldi's PC because I've never burned anything in it yet I've burned food in the stainless one. Sister convinced me stainless was the way to go but it's just not for me. Harder to clean too. Couldn't contain my joy when I found the nonstick worked. Just sharing, hope it helps.
I bought a genuine Instapot 8qt replacement which I'd hoped might be able to go into my Crockpot Express (which only has non stick inner pots which I don't want). I knew I was rolling the dice but some other reviewers suggested it would work.I have compared the two and they are not close enough for me to feel comfortable using it and risking an explosion. It doesn't take but a couple millimeters for the pressure to not seal properly. The instapot has a slightly smaller circumference than the Crockpot inner pot and the lip is just slightly different. I did try it with the lid on and it seems like it *could* work. But, I'm not taking the risk.
My Instant Pot came with a ceramic coated inner pot. Wanted a stainless and I bought one. I also bought the silicone lid and glass lid with vent used for steaming.I have not thrown out any leftovers since cooking meals on the instant Pot.YouTube videos helped me a lot to learn about what and how to fix food in the pot.Mother in law was stuck with us the last week in the Texas FREEZE OUT with no power or water at her house so she stayed with us. I fixed chicken, veggie soup, stew and a big pot of white beans with ham seasoning.I look for new recipes to fix. Groceries cost more now I am cooking for us and her mother more. Trying to replace junk food for us snacking and eat a real meal. Texas Chili is great in it too. Texas Chili Has No BEANS in IT!
I absolutely love my Instant Pots. When I opened my fist pot (the Ultra 8qt) I pulledmout the inner pot & showed it to my husband. He loves good food but is totally uninterested in cooking. He couldn't care less how it's cooked. However, being a welder, he is up on the quality of metals. When I showed him the beautiful inner stainless pot he said, "Wow! That is impressive. That is a nice pot." So, the inner pot impressed a person with mo interest is cooking. Of course I love it because when I make a large meal I can pull the liner out, snap on the silicone lid, put the pot in the fridge & put another clean liner in the Instant Pot so I can still use my Instant Pot.
I first want to state, that I love my instant pot. However when I used the pot the first time. We discovered flaws in the stainless steel inner pot that become increasingly evident the more you use it. My husband who works with metals felt it was in manufacturing of this steel that was the problem. Returning the entire instant pot would likely get another one with the same issue. So I contacted the company directly and explained the issue. They were very responsive and I just received a new inner pot. Sadly this one also has the same issue. Whoever is manufacturing the steel for the company is not doing quality work. Another friend had the same thing with her 8 quart pot.
