As the lid is hinged, you don’t need to worry about setting it down somewhere heat-resistant during use either. In addition to being originally released in November 2019 as an 8 quart, Instant brands released a smaller 6 quart exclusive to Walmart later. The cooked rice was cooked through with some bite, although it was a little stickier than we’d have liked, there were very few grains sticking to the pot too.

While it doesn’t take up a huge amount of time to make the swap, it does add to the amount of storage space you need – and these are big, heavy lids.

I had planned to cook the chicken as directed with just a regular trivet, then put on the air fryer lid to crisp up the skin.Instead, you have a 10-page quick start guide with QR codes that you have to scan to find the manual. I've used and reviewed plenty of pressure cookers and air fryers before, so I was ready to use the Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer as soon as it arrived. The Instant Pot Duo Crisp and Air Fryer will certainly take up a lot of space on your countertop - it comes with two separate lids and when fitted with the air fry lid, it’s particularly large measuring 14. With the Instant Pot Duo Crisp or a Ninja Foodi, you get the best of both worlds because you can pressure cook and broil or air fry in the same pot. Admittedly, most people won’t use most functions – we mainly use sauté, pressure cook, air fry and grill – but the choice is there when you need it.

But what if there’s a gadget that can air fry but also pressure cook, slow cook, bake, grill and more? Aside from the peculiar spelling of "dehydrate," I like the cooking options on this model over cooking programs for specific foods. Just above it, an LED display shows you the cooking time, temperature, progress (pre-heating, cooking or keep warm), plus any cooking instructions such as “close the lid” or “turn food”. The lid attaches to the base via a hinge, and at the back there’s a discrete tank for collecting condensation. The Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer was added as a new model in November 2019 and a newer version as the Pro Crisp was released in November 2020.

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state or province to province. Because of the wider pot in the Ninja Foodi, I give it a slight edge for air frying since it offers more surface space.
