Review on Instant Pot Air Fryer One Touch by Marco Hubbard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quick and easy meals in the kitchen and dining room

The Duo Crisp Instant Pot is a lifesaver for quick and easy meals! I love it so much and am so happy I bought it during Prime Day. Here's a quick rundown of the pros and cons. Pros: 1) This air fryer cooks anything faster than my previous Ninja countertop model, and the food is a lot crispier than uncooked (especially foods like fried/dry-grated chicken, french fries, and Brussels sprouts). You have to worry that it might damage something in the kitchen due to its design. My old tabletop air fryer got so hot it deformed the phone jack on the back wall. The internal heat and the repetitive motions of pulling the basket in and out also warped the basket so it wouldn't close or stick together, making it very painful to turn the food halfway through cooking! Because of this, the Instant Pot Duo Crisp is a HUGE step forward as technology mitigates all of these issues. 3) It's MUCH easier to clean! If you can find them, get a silicone basket and skewer accessories to easily lift and sear the meat. pantry standard size). I would recommend getting a luggage stand and maybe a lid box. 2) The app is (surprisingly) not very good and requires *a lot* of work. You can find more helpful recipes and cooking tips for specific foods on blogger websites, but I wish the information was easily accessible and manufacturer verified without having to google and sift through different bloggers' recipes to find the best recipe for my needs . to need. plan to cook. 3) When trying to pressure cook, especially with grains, the release is heavy and can be a bit messy. For example, I did a load of farro and the natural secretion spat out a starchy, thick goo that was somewhat like a gooey volcanic blast that I hid from and then immediately put away so it didn't have time to harden on my surfaces . If, like me, you have wood or freshly painted cabinets, it's important to be careful not to let the steam depressurize underneath or next to it. It's like flushing closets in boiling water, so make sure the steam vent is pointing away from your closets and anything overhead.
