This Instant Pot® Detachable Power Cord is compatible with all 3 & 6 quart models except the Instant Pot® Max™.
Instant Pot has become a regular in my kitchen, cooking, steaming, making yogurt at least 3-4 times a week. Even if I have my stove top pressure cooker, I don’t use it anymore unless I need 2 pressure cookers at the same time. With that said, I am not screaming “Hallelujah! Our savior in the kitchen is here” either.
I have the 8qt Instant Pot size for my family of four. I also do batch cooking. I can batch cook a meal, serve a 4-person portion for the day and store the rest in my deep freezer. It might sound too big but keep in mind that in pressure cookers (stove top or electric) you cannot fill up the inner pot to the brim. You can only fill 2/3 full with food and 1/2 full with beans and grains.
I read the manual end-to-end and decided to record a video of the unboxing and testing of my new instant pot to help anyone out there who purchased an instant pot and felt the same reluctance to take the first step into this new territory. The brief video below will show you how to get started with your new instant pot, do the initial test run and then also cook a recipe from the recipe book, which comes with the Instant Pot. Before you go ahead and watch the video, a little teaser, it’s not as scary and complicated as it looks.
Even though it is easy to clean the inner pot and the lid, the inner rubber seal ring holds the odor of the foods cooked. It is recommended that you get a second seal and use one for cooking meals with strong odor and spices and the other less odor for yogurt, rice to avoid flavor transfer.
I think Instant Pot is a great addition to kitchens where fresh meals are cooked at least 3 times a day and batch cooking happens at least every other week. If you love yogurt, that’s additional bonus points. If you keep your expectations medium and know what you are getting, you’ll get your investment’s return in a few months.

FAQ
Does Instant Pot have a cord?
Can you replace the cord on an Instant Pot?
Does Instant Pot have a power cord?
If your power cord has endured some wear and tear or has stopped working, this cord on Instant Pot’s site is compatible with most pots including the Duo, Nova Plus and Ultra. To reduce damage to your cord, Instant Pot recommends wrapping the cord around the base of the Instant Pot and placing the end in the back holder for proper storage.
Why is my Instant Pot power cord not working?
The Instant Pot power cord is detachable, so it can easily get lost or misplaced. Damage or water can also make the power cord stop working. The great thing about the power cord is that the replacement on Amazon is compatible with most Instant Pot models including the Duo, Duo Nova, Duo SV, Duo Plus, Duo gourmet, Ultra, and Smart WiFi models. 6.
How do you put a power cord in an Instant Pot?
Attach the power cord to the slot on the back of the base unit. This is a small flat plastic cup that comes with the instant pot. It collects any drippings from the food being cooked. I have seen liquid collect in it, when the pressure did not build properly. The slot to put it is at the back of the instant pot.
Does a Second Generation Instant Pot have a detachable cord?
Second generation Instant Pots come with a detachable cord. (They’re fixed on the first generation.) If your cord isn’t detachable, don’t worry about it. In fact, I don’t love the detachable cord. I’m always afraid I’m going to misplace it. The lid of a pressure cooker is an integral part of the machine.
