The Largest Instant Pot Available: Meet the 10 Quart Duo Nova (2020)

Instant Pot sells various options of their electric pressure cookers in sizes ranging from 3 quarts to 6 quarts to 8 quarts. In 2019, they added a 10-quart model to the lineup as part of the Duo Nova model series.

A quick look at 10 Quart Instant Pot Duo Nova

The Duo Nova 10 quart is the largest Instant Pot available and only model available at this size currently. It was released in early September 2019 and is available to buy online.

If you didn’t realize the 10 quart is now an option, it’s completely understandable. It was also released separately from the rest of the Duo Nova model line. And it was originally listed separately the 3, 6, and 8 quart pots. You needed to know to look for it.

What accessories included in the box

When you buy the 10 quart Duo Nova, you’ll also receive 2 silicone sealing rings along with the trivet/steam rack.

If you’re new to Instant Pots, having extra sealing rings is really helpful to prevent your desserts from accidentally picking up tastes from the other meals you cook.

If you need additional liners or sealing rings, try reaching out to their support team as these are not currently available for sale directly on their site.

Over to you, what do you think about the largest Instant Pot?

In September 2019, the 8 quart Instant Pot was no longer the largest option available from this brand. They released a new 10 quart as part of the Duo Nova model series.

    I have a 6 qt Instant Pot which I LOVE, but need a second, larger one to do our 7 lb chickens that we raise ourselves and are now in our freezer. I’m guessing I’d need the 10 qt size, but am having a hard time finding it for sale. Where are you finding it available for purchase? Thanks.

      Hey Amy –

      Thanks for stopping by. It looks like the 10 quart Instant Pot sold out in the last day or so with the deals they were running on Amazon. So either you may need to sit tight or a bit or I’m wondering if the 8 quart will work as it’s reasonably sizable as well. Here’s a list of the Instant Pot dimensions if you haven’t looked at that yet.

    I got the 10qt Duo Nova off Amazon for 89.99. I think that is a great value. I am interested in finding cookbooks that utilize this size pot. Any recommendations?

      Hey David.

      Thanks for stopping by and congrats on your purchase! That price was definitely a good one. I haven’t seen any specific cookbooks yet on this and I reached out to recipe writer as well to mention your question. Typically the suggestion is to scale up the ingredients and keep the cooking time the same. Since most recipes are based on the 6 quart model (unless otherwise mentioned), you could either increase the ingredients by half to get to “9 quarts” or by 2/3 to get to a 10 quart sized recipe.

      My friend that I reached out to mentioned her Instant Pot course was created using an 8 quart model, but most recipes are probably geared to the 6 quart ingredient size.

    My family loves my Baby back ribs. In my 6 QT I can cook 1 and 1/2 racks. In my 8 QT I can cook 2 and 1/2 racks and my 10 QT I can cook 3 full racks(no cutting).
    6 QT recipe…4 cups apple juice
    1/2 cup apple vinegar
    2 Table spoons of liquid smoke.
    Cook 20 to 25 mins Fast release. Put on cookie sheet cover with Bar-b-que sauce into the broiler for five mins….serve.
