| | ===== Instant Pot Duo Mini ===== |
| |
| | The Instant Pot Duo mini 3qt appears to hold greatest market share among the small "pots". It pulls 700w while actively heating.((or less, some report <600w on simple MSW inverters)) It is reported to run correctly off both 1000w inverters, both MSW and PSW.((PSW might be better for efficiency and longevity -- secessus)) |
| |
| | The HIGH pressure mode is 10.1psi, a little lower than the bigger models. The LOW pressure mode appears to be 5.8psi.((https://support.instantpot.com.sg/hc/en-us/articles/4404960766617-What-do-the-different-pressure-settings-mean-)) [better source needed] This may require [[https://www.hippressurecooking.com/mini-mania-shrink-pressure-cooker-recipes-for-the-instant-pots-mini/comment-page-1/|adjustment of cooking time]]. |

| | [[https://amzn.to/3LmlZMs|Instant Pots]] are becoming increasingly common as some [[electrical:12v:intro|vandweller power systems]] become beefier. While convenient, they are effectively electric [[food:cooking:cookware#pressure_cookers|pressure cookers]] + [[food:cooking:crockpot|crockpots]], both of which are much less demanding of power.((traditional pressure cookers are heated on the [[food:cooking:stoves|stove]])) |

| | ===== powering an Instant Pot ===== |
| | |
| | The IP will require: |
| | |
| | |
| | * sufficiently-large inverter, probably ≥1000w for the 700w mini. Pure Sine Wave preffered to protect the electronics, but it appears to run ok off MSW. Solar generators with capacities ≥1000Wh typically have internal PSW inverters capable of running 1000w but do check the specs. |
| | * sufficient wiring between inverter and bank |
| | * sufficient power available from battery bank and/or solar array (or other source) |
