Product Information

The new Instant Pot + Air Fryer is a little heavier than the previous model. The Pro Crisp weighs a little over 26 lbs. If you’re concerned about lifting that much weight, lift it in pieces instead. Move the lid separately from the base and remove the liner, especially if it’s full.

Overall the two models are very similar with a few updated features in the new Pro Crisp model. If you’re looking for an additional Instant Pot, there are a few interesting features in the new Pro Crisp that make a nice upgrade. These types of Instant Pots enable you to use one kitchen appliance for both pressure cooking and air frying. There are 11 cooking functions in total - with the standard lid fitted, the Instant Pot can pressure cook, sauté, slow cook, steam, sous vide, and keep warm - all of which Instant Pot dubs wet cooking method. Alternatively, switch to the air fryer lid to air fry, roast, bake, broil and dehydrate. It’s worth noting you can only select a cooking function if the corresponding lid is attached. You can manually adjust the temperature and cooking duration using the buttons on either side of the LCD display. The dry cook functions can be set to a temperature between 180 - 400oF /84C – 204oC and the wet cook functions offer Hi or Lo temperatures. The duo crisp with ultimate lid has 12 main functions: pressure cook, sauté, steam, slow cook, sous vide, yoghurt, air fry, roast, grill, bake, dehydrate and proofing. All of these can be selected at a touch of a button on the control panel. In addition, you can select delay start on some of the functions and use the keep warm feature, if you’re not quite ready to eat.

Instant Pot Duo Crisp Recipes Roundup

With the Instant Pot + Air Fryer models, they’re combining an electric pressure cooker and an air fryer. Both of these models have the core features but are not as vast as their other electric pressure cooker-only models.

During pressure cooking the handles all stay cool to touch and the sides only reach 111oF/ 44oC, but the metal section of the lid reaches 205oF/ 96 oC, so it’s worth wearing oven gloves when removing it. Some models and versions within a series are exclusive to certain stores. For example, the Duo Gourmet is exclusive to Costco. And the Star Wars-branded series was exclusive to Williams Sonoma when it was released. What other questions do you have about the differences between the Instant Pot Pro Crisp vs Duo Crisp?
