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 don't think InstantPot understand what they've made here. Let me break it down for you:Minority households usually have both parents working full-time (due to the lower individual income). This almost always means that women are taking on both 8-hour shifts & the entire household responsibilities (including cooking).These women rarely cook meat despite it's affordability in the western world. Why you ask? It's because it takes way longer to cook, a simple stew would take 4 to 6 hours on the stove!Their families look upto them, they pull up the courage to try a pressure cooker ... ignoring their fear regarding something that could potentially explode on their faces ... so that they could provide their family with a tastier meal. These women are built different ... but they are mothers at the end of the day ... a small incident in the larger family of a pressure cooker exploding induces fear within them. Fear of harm to themselves, you ask? No, they fear it would explode when their children are playing around them (because remember they're working, cooking & rearing the children).This means they can only cook meat on rare occasions, when they're off-work. It also means they have to respond with an unfortunate "no" to "mommy, xxx had beef stew last night, could we pleaseeeeeee try it".Do you still not realise what you've made, InstantPot?!You've given minority women the ability to provide the very best for their families without risking the safety of their children (or themselves!), you've made an actual change in gender, racial & economic equity.----------------------------Why did I bother with such a long review, you ask? I come from a minority background. I had a working mother, aunt & grandma.Our family (my mom & us) were the only ones that had exotic dishes since my mom was experienced with pressure cookers.... unlike my aunt.Traditional pressure cookers are a safety risk (just Google "pressure cooker explodes..." & they're are scary (noisy & pressurised steam).This marvellous product cooks your food with a higher energy efficiency & without producing a single hint of noise or steam (slow release option).It's electronic, the sensors do a great job at preventing people from operating it incorrectly & dangerously.I've cooked all my adult life, never dared to use a pressure cooker (despite being an engineer from a Russell institution). Found it too scary & had too many family incidents of a pressure cooker exploding. The burn marks on my grandma (caused by a pressure cooker exploding) haunted me from trying one out.A close friend recommended this, it's an absolute life changer!Cheers to making real difference, InstantPot.

Love the instapot with all the functions, slow cooker, air fryer, pressure cooker, it's amazing.
