I really don't have space for 2 pots and don't need one most of the time. But this seems the best idea until I can replace my lid. I think I'm just going you grab the older 6 qt as who knows how long it will have to be my primary pot </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-instant-pot#post-2800549 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 13:01:44 +0000 peachykeen 2800549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an 8 qt and a 6 qt (both duos) and I think the mini would be fine as a 2nd pot most of the time. Other than the 1x per week I make yogurt (which ties up one of the pots for ~9 hrs), I mainly use the 2nd pot for rice, mashed potatoes, etc which I think I could probably accomplish in the 3 qt mini. Having 2 pots is so worth it though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-instant-pot#post-2800515 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 11:41:39 +0000 BadgerMom 2800515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have the mini, but I do have the 6qt. I find it to be a good size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-instant-pot#post-2800506 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 10:53:10 +0000 MamaBear87 2800506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have the mini instant pot? My fil melted my lid over the weekend and of course the 8qt replacement lid is out of stock. I'm looking to get a replacement until I can get the lid so I end up with 2. </p> <p>The mini has a nice price point but not sure if the size will make me crazy. </p> <p>I could also get the old discontinued 6qt for 75. Anyone have the older style one and love it? </p>
