Instant Pot 3-Quart, Duo Nova Electric Pressure Cooker, 7-in-1 Programmable Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Vegetable Steamer, Yogurt Maker & Warmer

The latest high-tech Instant Pot model has the most functions of any Instant Pot on the market including air-frying capabilities. The new lid is called “the ultimate” because, unlike the lids on other Instant Pot models, this one has one lid that can be used for both pressure-cooking and air-frying. The the most recent version, released in late 2019, now offers a sous vide setting in place of the steam setting, as well as an updated auto-seal lid. It’s more convenient when making both the primary and side dishes in your pressure cooker. Instead of cleaning the same pot after cooking, you can prepare the next dish and cook it right away. If you’re a fan of the ‘set it and forget it’ style of cooking, the handy keep warm function means your food won’t go cold if you do actually forget about it.

It’s really great to be able to chuck all your raw ingredients into the cooker, knowing that there’ll be plenty of food to go around when it’s done. This is especially true if you’re cooking for a family and need something that is going to be big enough for all the hungry mouths in your house. Conversely, there’s no point buying a more moosoo air fryer expensive, larger capacity pressure cooker if it’s just for one or two people. After a rather undercooked release of the Instant Vortex and Vortex Plus, the Duo Crisp came out as Instant Pot’s first true pressure cooker and air fryer combination. The Pro Crisp shows it up function-wise, but for $100 less, the Duo Crisp covers a lot.

So it’s just a matter of how much cooking volume you’ll need and if you’re considering on getting the Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid later down the line. Although the inner pot is dishwasher safe, it didn’t quite fit snugly in my dishwasher, so I had to handwash it in soapy water. However, it doesn’t take too long to wash the pot and sealing ring, while the pot exterior can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Results seemed the same on a few tries, despite reducing the water content.

I recently added a second pressure cooker to my collection come along with me as I unbox my new Instant Pot Duo Nova in a video.

If a recipe doesn’t state whether to use high or low pressure, you can probably assume it’s high pressure. Under high pressure, the fiber in the food is tenderized and flavors develop in a very short time. Nutrient-rich steam condenses in the pot instead of evaporating and nutritional value is retained because of the speed of cooking. By pushing the pressure level, I’m able to adjust to low or high pressure.
