We’ve listed the features each has below. And what’s interesting about the Instant Pot Pressure Cookers + Air Fryers is it gives you two completely different types of cooking in one kitchen appliance. To do this, the Instant Pot comes with two different lids, one for each cooking method. In the box along with the two lids each Instant Pot + Air Fryer model comes with, the additional accessories include:Still, the quantity of nuggets I’d chosen was fairly small, so they could fit easily in a single layer in the air-fry basket. Wondering how the device would fare with several layers of ingredients, I dumped in a big bag of frozen curly fries. Once again, I was wowed: First, the machine helpfully alerted me at the halfway point, reminding me to toss the fries to ensure even crispness. Second, each fry came out perfectly cooked and super crispy. The bonus here was that they finished in just 10 minutes (not including the 3 minutes it took for the machine to preheat). That’s less than half the time they’d need to bake in the oven. 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.

Combining multiple kitchen appliances into one saves counter and storage space. You also save money by using one appliance for multiple cooking methods.
