An Air Fryer is a small convection oven and there's no real magic. Air Fryers are another product that get overzealous marketing but are still very useful. The 8qt Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer adds in a new feature with the second included lid. Ignore the slow pressure setting and get the same results.Īnyway, back to the original question. It takes less time but comes out the same. Here's the trick though, pressure cookers do all the same cooking slow cookers do. The temperatures are different than a slow cooker and results are going to be different. Yes, the Instant Pot has a slow cook function but it's not actually a very good slow cooker. This is another area where I spend a lot of time resetting expectations. The marketing isn't a lie but it over complicates expectations.Ī lot of people come to Instant Pot products from slow cookers. Rice is easy to make, even easier with a rice maker, but if you've already got the Instant Pot it will do the same job without needing a second appliance.
That said, the Instant Pot is a really good, super easy to use, pressure cooker and pressure cookers have a lot of uses in a kitchen. Those features are side effects of being a pressure cooker but there's nothing more complicated to it.
Yes, it can make rice or sear meat but so can a stove top pressure cooker. Reality is a whole lot simpler than the Instant Pot marketing but no less useful. Every time I talk to someone about the Instant Pot I have to start by unraveling the marketing and setting realistic expectations. The marketing sounds like a late-night infomercial with a never-ending list of features and a promise to do everything. First up, we need to ask, 'what even is an Instant Pot?' It seems like a simple question but answering what the Instant Pot actually is can be a big conversation.
