Like most Instant Pot models, the Duo Evo Plus has several functions you will probably use on a regular basis, and few you might only use on occasion. The Duo Evo Plus acts as a pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, steamer, sous vide, sautéer, food warmer, cake maker, and stock pot.

20+ Enhancements From Duo

Many of the improvements on the Evo Duo Plus are obvious upon opening the box. For one, the display is much brighter and larger, and it seems bolder in some way. The inner pot has also been redesigned with a flat cooking bottom and a transferable tri-ply stainless steel that can be used on electric, gas, ceramic, and induction stovetops.

The handles on the inner pot have also been redesigned: They’re more ergonomic, feature a cool-touch coating, and they lock the cooking pot into place.

Other enhancements include the improved lid design with a steam release cover and a pressure release switch instead of a valve.

8 Preset Buttons

On the main display, you’ll find 8 one-touch buttons: pressure cook, slow cook, rice/grain, sous vide, steam, sauté, yogurt, and bake. The Duo Evo Plus also has delay start and keep warm buttons.

Perhaps one of the coolest things about the Duo Evo Plus is that you can dry bake in it. Yes, that means you can make baked goods without adding water to the bottom of the Instant Pot — just choose a temperature and time as if you’re using an oven.

10 Safety Features

Like all Instant Pots, the Duo Evo Plus has passed the stringent tests required to achieve UL and ULC safety certifications. The Duo Evo Plus has the usual safety features: thermal fuse and electric fuse, overheat protection, steam release, anti-block shield, safety lid lock, lid position detection, leaky lid detection, pressure control, and temperature control. 

48 Preset Cooking Functions

Yes, you read that right: The Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus features 48 easy cooking functions thanks to the eight preset buttons and the dial in the middle of the display. Don’t feel overwhelmed: It’s as simple as turning the dial and selecting a one-touch preset.
