Pigeon Super Cooker 3.2-Quart
Score: 74/100
Instant Pot Duo Mini
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Instant Pot Duo Mini is a 3-quart electric pressure cooker that shines with its compact footprint and dual pressure settings for fast cooking. Its limited capacity and modest 700 W power make it less suitable for larger meals or bulk recipes. Ideal for singles, couples, or travelers needing a space-saving multi-cooker.
The Pigeon 3-liter All-In-One Super Cooker combines pressure cooking, steaming, deep-frying and more in a hard-anodized aluminum pot with three interchangeable lids. Although versatile and backed by a five-year warranty, it lacks independent performance testing and detailed specs. Suited for small-to-medium families wanting multi-functionality on gas or induction.

Professional reviewers describe the Duo Mini as a "cute little model" perfect for RVs and small households, praising its rapid cooking, dual pressure, and 11 smart programs while noting its limited capacity makes it less versatile than larger models.
Everyday users consistently appreciate the Mini's compact footprint, quick cooking of rice and side dishes, and easy-to-use interface, but they frequently lament the insufficient volume for family meals and the need to down-scale recipes originally written for larger pots.
