The Instant Pot Duo Nova is the last of the new pressure cookers unveiled in 2019. The Nova has the button layout of the Duo mixed with the auto-seal lid of the Ultra. You can buy the Nova in a 3, 6, 8, or 10-quart size!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Instant Pot company recently released the Instant Pot Duo Nova and sent me a 6-quart to review!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nova has all the functionality of the best-selling Instant Pot Duo, but with an improved display and button configuration on the housing. AND the push-button pressure release that I love from the Duo Plus. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, if you’re interested in cooking large batches, the Nova is the first Instant Pot to come in a 10-quart size. (It’s a giant!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking to Buy? <\/strong>The Instant Pot Duo Nova 6-quart is available now on Amazon<\/a> and is also available from many retail stores. (It’s often the Doorbuster in Black Friday ads\u2014Kohls has the 6-quart and Target has the 8-quart on sale.) If you’re looking for the 10-quart, however, I’ve only found it available online from Amazon<\/a> and Kohls<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Line<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I consider the Duo Nova a half-step up from the Duo, thanks to the improved sealing mechanism in the lid and improved button set-up. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been using the Nova 6-quart for two weeks and have yet to find anything I don\u2019t like about it. If you can snag it for a great price, definitely go for it!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the Instant Pot Duo Nova?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As implied by the name, the Duo Nova 7-in-1 is a new spin on the best-selling Instant Pot Duo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Duo Nova is the first Instant Pot to come in a 10 quart size. So you can now enjoy the larger sized pressure cooker with the functionality and familiarity of Instant Pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Comes with the Instant Pot Duo Nova?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Instapot Duo Nova comes with quick start guide, detachable power cord, and trivet that folds flat. Like most new Instant Pots for 2019, it also comes with an additional sealing ring. Now you can have one for savory foods and one for sweet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like other 2019 offerings, the Nova does not come with a ladle, rice paddle, or measuring cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instant Pot offers many accessories<\/a>, sold separately, that are compatible with the Duo Nova.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You’ll Love about the Instant Pot Duo Nova<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Duo Nova pressure cooker retains many of the best parts of the Duo<\/a> and adds in features found on its mid-range pressure cookers like the Duo Plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Updated Lid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This lid is one of my favorites! The quick release switch will automatically set to Seal when the lid is closed. Every time!! No more forgetting to set the release valve in the sealed position! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pressure release button is also easy to manually reset if you need to use an intermittent pressure release<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also has the lid fins that fit into the side of the base to hold the lid up when it is removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Updated Button Layout<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like the Duo, the pressure cooker automatically starts when selecting your cooking options and time (no start button)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The button layout is a cross between the Duo and the Duo Plus. The preset buttons are located along the sides but the plus and minus buttons incorporated below the screen. The buttons have also been slightly reorganized so that the Pressure Cook button is in the lower right. The Cancel button is now separate from the Keep Warm button. Also, the print on the buttons is much easier to read.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the buttons have been rearranged, all the same functionality is there. <\/span>All the larger sizes, 6-quart and up, have the same buttons along the sides (listed top-down, left-to-right):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
