    Introduction

    When Instant Brands first released the Instant Pot multi-cooker, there were just a couple of different models. Since then, many new models have been introduced. Some of them have stuck around and others have been discontinued.

    Inner Pot Dimensions

    Below you’ll find the Instant Pot diameter and height of each inner pot. All models with inner pots that don’t have handles have the same dimensions for each size. These inner pots can be used interchangeably (Lux, Duo, Viva, Ultra, Gourmet, Nova, Duo Plus, Duo Crisp).

    All models with inner pots that have silicone handles also have the same dimensions per size. These inner pots can be used interchangeably (e.g. Pro, Pro Plus, Duo Evo Plus, Pro Crisp).

    Please note that the inner pot is slightly tapered. Therefore, the inner diameter at the base will be narrower than the inner diameter at the lip. The measurements below are for the widest part.
