For my last test, I opted for roasted potatoes. I cut fingerling potatoes in half; drizzled them with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper; then placed them into the air-fryer basket. Normally, baby potatoes take somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes to roast in an oven. Here, they took just 10 minutes, and the results were remarkable: The flesh was tender and creamy and the cut side of the spuds was crispy, as was the skin. Admittedly, the potatoes didn’t turn the same golden brown color that they would have if I’d roasted them in the oven, but a few extra minutes in the air fryer would have taken care of that. All in all, the Pro Crisp not only delivered consistently crispy food, but it did so in a fraction of the time compared to traditional cooking methods.

Our expert tester Helen says 'if you want a top-notch multi-cooker that can do it all, this is the best one you can get from Instant'. That's because this Instant Pot improves on other models by only using a single lid, halving the amount of space you need for storage.
