It's coming! The big brother to my favorite pressure cooker, the 6 quart Instant Pot IP-Duo60, is now available for preorder. (I think I sprained my clicking finger rushing to get my order placed.)
[Update 2016-02-04: Sold out already! Amazon is reporting "not available at this time". It will be back; keep an eye on that Amazon page.]
The 8 quart IP-Duo80 is shipping in a May to June timeframe. 1 Thank you to Donna Haney at the Facebook Instant Pot Community Group for breaking the news.

I've been to the link for "pre ordering" the 8qt IP. It's a link to an Amazon listing that states it's currently unavailable, but there is no option to preorder that I can see.
Mike V says
Oh no. Sold out already? Keep an eye on that page on Amazon - I think they'll be back soon.

This new PC sounds wonderful,and it addresses some issues that have come up with older cookers (stainless steel inner pot...sweet!). But I'm curious. The timer goes up to 240 minutes - 4 hours. Not being a slow-cooker cooker myself (but considering it), I thought that slow cooker times are generally 6 to 8 hours on a low setting. So it seems that the slow cooker function on this Pot is only for the "high" slow cooker setting. If you reset it after 4 hours, the heat level would probably be too high for a 6- or 8-hour cook. I was wondering how this might impact some recipes that might call specifically for the low setting.
Mike V says
I haven't looked at the details, but I think that means 4 hours pressure cooking. My 6 quart instant pot - which this one looks like it is based on - can do at least 20 hours in slow cook mode.

Thanks, Mike. That answers my question very well. Those clever Canadians!
