Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer 11-in-1 Multicooker, 5.7L - Pressure Cooker, Air Fryer, Slow Cooker, Steamer, Sous Vide Machine, Dehydrator with Grill, Food Warmer & Baking Functions

I love my cheap brand cookworks pressure cooker only £50 that I bought a few years ago. I wanted to upgrade to this instant pot pressure cooker with air fryer lid. After I did many research and waited for black Friday. I got this Instant pot with air fryer pro crisp because I like the inner pot has handles on both side, so I can use it as my stock pot.I tried making jasmine rice first because I used to just press rice button, this model has no rice button, after Google, I tried one cup of rice and one cup of water, used pressure cook method, turned on 3 minutes and warm for 10 minutes is done. Rice was perfectly cooked even though small amount in this big pot 7.6L.I tried air fryer for wedges, put the air fryer lid on, set for 14 minutes and 180C, pressed start, preheat only take less a minute, open the lid and added food, put the lid on, it started cooking, in half way would remind you to stir with message " food burn", I opened the lid and stir, put the lid on and continued cooking. Wedges were very good.The pot is big enough for the whole extra large chicken. I was so excited to try some roast chicken recipes. I pressure cooked the whole chicken for 20 minutes and air frying another 15-20 minutes to crisp the skins. I used the leftover juice from chicken in the pot to make gravy using sauté setting. Wow I can do a roast chicken in the weekday within one pot.I also tried baking an 8 inch tinned chocolate cake with bake button. Cake was as good as from the oven.Now I bought an extra pot and glass lid as well because I found them useful to have two pots while I made some casserole from using pressure cooker method, then take it out and I switch to use other pot for air fry something else for kids. Frozen French fries came out crispy from air fryer. Air fryer lid is so easy to use and you can open it anytime to check your food.Mash potato, omg its so quick and easy with pressure cooker method.All the pots and lids and accessories are dishwasher safe except air fryer lid. Although I hand washed my pressure cooker lid.The great thing is you can replace almost everything if anything broken, instant pot website sells lots of spare parts. I bought an extra pot and lid came next day free delivery.I also like that this machine is very clever and will show you the message like "add food" so you know its preheated, "food burn" to remind you that to stir, "too hot" to remind you to cancel or stir.Air fryer preheat less than a minute, so much quicker than preheating the oven while I have hungry children in the house, I can quickly to air fry some chicken nuggets and chips for them.

I've had my Instant Pot for over a year now and I'm very happy with it. I've not had an oven for the past two years, but the Instant Pot has made it possible for me to cook a wide variety of foods and not feel too deprived!PROS:* Easy to use* Easy to clean* A great size for a single person to cook food and have leftovers and would easily make stews/soups to serve multiple people* Both lids work well and it's easy to change between them* Cheaper to run than a full-size oven or a pan on the hob* If you are creative and not too worried about how your food looks when it comes out, you can fit things that would really prefer to go in an oven. For example, I've managed to fit full-sized pizzas into it, as long as I cut them into slices first and used two levels to cook them* Not too noisy for daytime use - I had mine in my living room for a while, and could watch something on my laptop (with headphones) at standard volumes with the Instant Pot distracting me. So probably ideal for bedsits or studio flatsCONS:* I'm not sure that all of the functions are truly needed as there's a lot of overlap between, for example, roast, bake and air fry. They all seem to result in much the same thing, so I suspect the "11-1" is more of a sales pitch than a true representation of what the Instant Pot actually does* While not very noisy, I felt it was still a bit too loud to run in my living room after my neighbours had gone to bed as I was worried it would disturb them. I'm quite concerned about such things though (e.g. only watch TV via my headphones) due to a fear of ever being considered That Neighbour!* It is quite big and you need extra space to store whichever lid isn't in use. I have a tiny kitchen (which is why it's currently being used elsewhere in my house) but even in a small to medium sized kitchen, this would probably have to be your main large worktop appliance. You'd struggle to have this AND a coffee maker AND a food processor AND an electric mixer.There are still some functions I haven't used (because my house is a bit of a building site right now) such as the yoghurt making setting or the sous vide setting. I may update my review once I've given all of the settings a whirl.
