I got an Instant Pot 8 Quart Duo model for Christmas. I had really wanted the Ultra model because I find the dial your own temperature feature intriguing. I've never done sous vide so this looked like a way to get into that plus get all the other Instant Pot capabilities. Unfortunately, the Ultra was out of stock so I ended up with the Duo. I imagine more Ultras will start showing up any day now, so I'm wondering if I should exchange the Duo for an Ultra. I know it will be 6 qt. vs 8 qt., but I don't think the extra capacity will really buy me all that much.
If any of you have experience with both, I could use some guidance. Should I exchange the Duo for the Ultra or am I likely to get just as much use from the Duo?
I should mention that I have no specific purpose in mind other than a vague notion of wanting to try sous vide. I was looking at something in the book section in Costco right before Christmas and there right in front of me was an Instant Pot cookbook that immediately jumped into my cart. I've not had much time to look at that yet, but at least I have a source for some ideas.
