Both were too expensive for me at that time. Thought of not being attending the pot seemed a time saver but I forgot all about it. But i was wanting an electric pressure cooker for some time. I have a 4 qt Fagor elite stove top which i used when i called company for dinner (no more than 8 at a time). So what is the weird cut out which is sort of rectangular with a kind of ‘uvula’ in the middle? What is it for, because all of the stuff online seems to say it doesn’t matter how you align the ring when you put it back in? It was putting it in after washing it that got me thinking! It must have a purpose, or why have it there? Just wondering, as don’t want to put it in wrong. I found a post on Reddit that showed a picture and same question, but no one really had an answer.

I noted there are different cut-outs on the edge with the mini. The ring for the 3 qt mini is different looking than the larger sizes. I have tried to find the answer online to no avail.

Also, the lower cost of the Mini makes it a more affordable option for gift giving or adding that second pressure cooker you’ve been wanting. If you have limited space, the Mini is a great option. I understand this is a safety mechanism on the 8 quart Duo as well. There’s a little button on the rim of the Mini that pushes down when the lid closes. The new sealing ring provides for better flow of the steam for the small sized Mini. The design of the sealing ring on the Mini is a little bit different due to the size and smaller curvature of the lid. For more information read the Instant Pot Duo Mini Manual.

I used the same time I would have used with my 6 quart, and all recipes came out perfectly. I used it to cook my breakfast farro several mornings, rice for dinner several nights, and corn on the cob for lunch one day. The Mini was the perfect size for most of my needs.
