Let’s see what is the difference between Duo Evo Plus and Duo Nova.
Duo Evo Plus and Duo Nova are the latest Instant Pot pressure cookers.
The Duo Evo Plus lid has been moved back for added safety when stirring food or removing a hot inner pot.
Duo Evo Plus is available in 6 and 8 quarts with power of heating element 1200W / 1400W.
Duo Nova is available in 4 sizes – 3,6,8 and 10 quarts with power 700W / 1000W / 1200W / 1400W.
Both models have a short power cord (24 to 35 inches / 0.6 m to 0.9 m). Up to 6 quarts, power cord detachable on both models. For 8 and 10 quarts, base power socket is hardwired.
Both pressure cookers have passed the stringent UL & ULC certification and protect you with 10 proven safety mechanisms and patented technologies.

Duo Evo Plus vs Duo Nova the control panel comparison
The controls in these pressure cookers are different.
For Duo Evo Plus, you need to turn the dial to view smart programs, change status icons, set time, temperature and pressure levels. The control dial is also a button, so you just have to press the dial to confirm.
In Duo Nova, smart programs are selected and configured using buttons.
Duo Evo Plus vs Duo Nova the inner pot comparison
The Duo Evo Plus inner pot definitely has advantages over other Instant Pot models. A stove-friendly inner pot and convenient handles allow you to move between appliances as recipes demand. The handles make the inner pot easy and safe to remove. They also fix the inner pot while stirring.

Duo Evo Plus and Duo Nova Cooking Programs Overview
When we compare both models side by side, we can see that there are 12 smart soft buttons on the front of the Duo Nova, while the Duo Evo Plus has only 9 buttons. It may seem that Duo Nova has more cooking options, in fact, it is not. Choosing any smart Duo Evo Plus program button opens a selection of preset.
For example, after clicking the Bake button, you will be presented with the following presets: Custom, Cake, Cheesecake, Pudding, Proofing.
Duo Nova has no egg-boiling or cake-baking settings, but don’t worry, you can still boil eggs hard in steam mode and bake with pressure cook setting and time adjustment.
If you are planning to buy Duo Nova 3-quart, please keep in mind that it does not have programs for multigrain and poultry.

Duo Evo Plus or Duo Nova: conclusions
If you don’t need sous vide and you are not interested in the abundance of culinary programs, Instant Pot Duo Nova may be your favorite. 13 built-in programs are enough for most main dishes.
Planning to make sous vide or need a wide variety of presets, then Duo Evo Plus should be your choice, even if you’re a beginner. Don’t worry, you’ll learn how to cook just as quickly, and in terms of safety, the Duo Evo Plus is superior to the Duo Nova.
If you are looking for a 3-quart or 10-quart size, then the Duo Evo Plus is not for you.

In this article, I collected for you analogs of replacement stoneware for some models of slow cookers Crock-Pot. It’s can be useful for you because many people are faced with the fact that they cannot find the original model of stoneware for their favorite slow cooker. I will add models gradually. So, let’s start.
The first will be a bowl 156013-000-090. This is 6-Quart oval ceramic bowl.
DJI Innovations, as always in its innovative style, presented not one, but as many as two drones, the potential of which can be assessed both by amateurs and professionals of the photo and video industry. I’m glad to present you the top of the perfection of portable unmanned technology – Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom.

Make a video in one tap. Let the drone itself take professional shots for you, after which a 10-second video will be cut into automatic mode, which you can share as quickly as possible. QuickShots will help the user to shoot stunning shots with a cinematic composition in one tap.
Mavic 2 inherited 6 standard QuickShot smart shooting modes: Roket / Dronie / Circle / Helix / Boomerang / Asteroid. Also, was added a new mode which will be available for Mavic 2 Zoom – Dolly Zoom
Dronie – drone photographs the object, moving away from it gaining height diagonally. At the end of the shooting, the drone will return to its original position.
Circle – drone shoots an object, flying around
Rocket – the drone shoots an object, rocket up and away from the ground for a specified distance
Boomerang – to shoot an object, flying it along an oval trajectory with a rise at a distant point and then returning to the starting point
Asteroid – copter flies back and up, recording video and making a spherical panorama at the end of the flight. Then combines shooting and panorama in a short video
DollyZoom (only Mavic 2 Zoom) – drone moves away from the subject and zooms in at the same time
Active_Track_2.0
The second generation mode recognizes and tracks objects even more accurately, faster and smarter. The previous generation of ActiveTrack for tracking relied only on a two-dimensional image from the main camera. ActiveTrack 2.0 uses three-dimensional maps of the environment, coming both from the main camera and from the front sensors, which at the output provided a more accurate level of recognition.
This mode allows you to track the object even at the time of disappearance from view. Mavic 2 keep high-speed tracking of an object at speeds up to 72km / h. Aircraft creates a 3D flight route and in advance avoids obstacles in front and behind, without interrupting the process of video filming.
Activetrack 2.0 modes:
Trace – drone follows you from behind or in front of you at a constant distance.
Profile – aircraft moves in parallel, recording video of the object from the side and keeping a constant distance.
Spotlight – you can change the position and distance of the drone, but it continues to follow the object.
Panorama
Mavic 2 supports 4 panoramic shooting modes:
horizontal
vertical
180º
spherical
POI 2.0
The new version of Point of interest 2.0 adds the ability to track the object using the optical system. As a result of the copter, no needs to hover above the object before shooting.
Waypoint 2.0
Waypoint 2.0 is also enhanced by developers. Now you don’t need to fly to a specific location to mark waypoints. It is enough to specify points of the route and the point of interest in the application. Then save the flight for future reference.
Dolly Zoom
The effect is achieved by moving the drone(camera) forward or backward while changing the focal length. The result is a feeling that the subject remains unchanged, and all other objects around are visible from a different angle.
Hyperlapse
Hyperlapse mode allows you to shoot accelerated video. You can adjust the duration of the video, how often to take the next frame, the direction of flight (forward or backward) and one of the modes:
Free – you can control the position of the drone and the angle of the camera.
Circle – you select an object on the screen around which the airplane must rotate and the drone itself calculates the distance
Course Lock – allows your drone to move in a given direction while you control the yaw (left and right) and tilt of the gimbal.
WayPoint – you set points, and the aircraft automatically moves between them, making a hyperlapse. You can add up to 5 points.
