Review on 🍲 Instant Pot Pro Crisp 11-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker with Air Fryer Combo, 8 Quart - Ultimate Kitchen Appliance for Roasting, Baking, Dehydrating, Slow Cooking, Rice Cooking, and More! by Rachel King

When I was offered the free Instant Pot, I was reluctant to take it because I have very little kitchen space and was concerned about pressure cooking. I accepted it because it was free and didn't open it for months because I wasn't sure about its usefulness or safety. One day I wanted to cook two dishes at the same time in the pressure cooker, and my manual pressure cooker was already in use, so I finally unpacked it. After 5 years of almost continuous use I switched from a still running, perfectly normal 6L IP Duo to an 8L IP Pro Crisp because IP had become my main cooking method and I wanted the extra features available in the newer models. I've been experimenting with the new cooking modes available and they're even healthier than the ones I've had. The Airfryer lid is not only used for hot air frying, but also in other modes, such as B. as a dehydrator. I've successfully cooked my first batch of Beef Jerky, which I'm really looking forward to as it's one of my favorite savory snacks that I can't buy in the store due to a food intolerance to peppers. Now I can make my own flavors that won't make me sick! The air fry mode is great for small portions. I used the same cooking time for mozzarella sticks in the IP Air Fryer and the Panasonic HomeChef Air Fryer after looking up the recommended cooking times. I have 2 min one way and 3 min the other side is for 2 mozza sticks. IP cooked it well enough in the short time that warm cheese was already oozing out of a stick. With HomeChef, the chopsticks still felt hard and weren't warm enough to eat. HomeChef suggested that the cooking time for Mozza was much longer than IP, so it's not as hot but has more surface area to air fry than IP. In the near future I see IP Putin, fried in the air! The grill/dehydrator tray that comes with the tiered fry basket is very flimsy and started warping after only 5 minutes. use. As far as I can tell I inserted the tray with the correct orientation (smooth side up in the air fryer basket) so it really should only take 5 minutes. air toasting. Instead, I bought a third-party 5-tier dehydrator/fryer bowl. Unless I'm missing something, by "level fryer" they really only mean two tiers, which isn't really a lot of tiers and would really be a limitation for dehydrating purposes. I haven't tried the sous vide mode. However, the temperature range differs from stick sou vide in particular. For example, my Anova runs colder than IP. Anova Temperature Range: 32 - 197 F. IP Pro Crisp Temperature Range: 77 - 203 F. This means that some of their temperature ranges do not overlap and neither device completely replaces the other as each covers the higher and lower range than the rest . . The IP can only be set to whole degrees (e.g. 78, 201), but Anova can set the temperature to tenths of a decimal place (e.g. 44.2, 194.6 - with an accuracy of 0.2 F ), which may be more useful for those who are sensitive to temperature ingredients such as eggs. I'm glad I finally reluctantly tried the free IP I was given because now I swear by IP cooking. It's worth it.
