Product Information

While it’s simple enough to look up recipes for either pressure cookers or air fryers, those don’t address the fact that this machine can do both for the same recipe, like when I pressure cooked potato wedges, then swapped the lid to air fry them.

On the lid itself, there’s also a lever to lock the lid during pressure cooking, or just secure it in place for general use. Instant Pots use smart programs to control heat intensity, temperature, pressure, and cooking duration at the push of a button. This Instant Pot Duo Crisp and Air Fryer has so many functions you’ll be able to ditch several other kitchen appliances, which is great because it’s bulky and you’ll need the storage space. The registration will enable us to keep you up to date with product developments, recipes and contact you in the unlikely event of a product safety notification.However, the ultimate lid is just a single lid that’s permanently attached to the body of the machine. There is also the Lux, Duo Plus, Ultra, Smart, Duo Crisp + Air Fryer, Pro Crisp + Air Fryer, Duo Evo Plus, Max, Viva, and Duo Gourmet. When a function is chosen by pressing a button, a tiny light above that button lights up, so it’s obvious what has been selected. It adds the sauce separately, but you could put the sauce in with the wings during cooking, or crisp it onto the wings when air frying. If a recipe does not give a manual pressure cooker time and instead uses a function, look for a similar function on the Instant Pot or look for similar Instant Pot recipes for a time and temperature suggestion.

The pressure cooker lid is relatively low-slung, while the air fryer lid is more of a pointy-hat style, with a handle on top that flips up for easy lifting. If we are unable to resolve the problem, you may be asked to send your appliance to the Service Department for quality inspection. One thing to keep in mind with both of these models is that aside from the air-fryer function being added to the control panel, each has an additional lid. 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.

While I’ve gotten used to that, at first I was punching the + and – buttons and wondering if there weren’t any pressure options.
