Review: How To Use Your Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer

presets helps a lot and like many of you other models, it also comes with a trivet, you can keep it like this so it sits lower to the bottom of the pot. with some really tall handles or you can just reverse it by putting the handles on the bottom and then putting the trivet higher so you can also air fry if you want it to be a little closer to the grill, it's a cool, cool, cool, Versatile trivet here, the double

crisp

er will also come with a condensation cup here that catches any drips and you basically put it right on the back and it pops right out and then once you've collected any drips or condensation you just take it out and You'll be able to empty it and then clean it as you see fit, we don't get rice paddles with this one, however, like we do on the duo and most other models we don't get rice paddles with this one, you know?

I never use them anyway. Same thing with a little measuring cup he gives you. I never use that little plastic thing, so for me it's a blessing to have clutter, especially if you already have several Instant Pots and the Chris plus dual air

fryer

also comes with an air

fryer

basket with a removable bottom here, which is good to have because it will rest on the pot itself, it always works for the pot line. here when you air fry or

crisp

and it always has to be here at all times unless you are washing it and you are not using the pot it is fine otherwise if you do something and pour some liquid or put food directly on the heating element is not going to be good, it will go through it and it will be difficult for you, don't do that, so online I have often heard in horror story scenes that people pour things into the

instant

pot without the line. or a pot in there, the lined pot always has to be inside the pot at all times for cooking, otherwise you'll like I said ruin the heating element, we don't want that to happen and pots with holes will just go to the pot. pot, but The good thing here is that let's say the pot liner is not in the pot and I decided to press sauté and get going, guess what guys, the whole pot is going to act crazy, it tells me to put the pot on everything se turns on and flashes it makes a new sound i never heard before in the

instant

pot it's completely crazy business here it's warning you so always make sure the pot is there before it does anything look now it will do it it's surprising it actually doesn't works unless the pot is there, I've never seen that on any other model before so that's a nice touch;

However, the pot still has to be on for that to happen, so if you're brewing and dumping and you don't have buttons on yet it won't alert you, but if the pot is already on in the pot over there, it will alert you. I love it so it comes with this nice deep airflow. You see it's perfect. It also comes with this separator here and you can use this for grilling or dehydrating if you're making jerky or if you have something that's even closer to the lid you would put this in and it goes up about halfway up the basket so it stops at about half, like you were basically like putting something on top of a rack if that makes sense, then you put this in and by the way, you don't have to use it every time you air fry, like you're making Brussels sprouts.

So, let's say you just finished making my Maple Balsamic Brussels Sprouts and Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. You remove the pressure cooking lid once it is released to full speed and then you can drop the Brussels sprouts right into the pot, you don't have to transfer them. This basket is not necessary, I would simply place it later. I have it upside down, the crispy air cap right on top, okay, and guys, this thing is so fun, it looks like a Jiffy Pop fan, like I know when you like to make popcorn. the stovetop and it has that aluminum foil from that spread, it looks like this with the little grooves here, it's fun anyway, you would leave it on top and then just press bake or air fry at 400 degrees for about five minutes until crispy right into the pot and then when they are ready you take them out and that's it, ready to eat with a nice crunch.

You can also do that to add an extra crust of bubbly cheese on top of a dish, you're done, let's say you're making a pasta dish like my no bake CD after you finish pressure cooking and the lid comes off and you scare the mixes , so you can sprinkle a little more cheese on top and then put the crispy top on top and give it a little bubble, okay, it's very convenient that you can do the same with my apple crumble if you want it to be a little crunchy when Finally, put the crispy lid on. cover and then brown for a few minutes.

You can actually use airfryer to grill whatever you want to bake, it doesn't matter, about 400 degrees should work for a few minutes, just keep an eye on it now, let's try it with some wings. I want to lower my basket into the pot and just because I want to boil my wings I want to put this little roasting pan on top because I want it to be closer to the top of my crispy width to give it a good cook. and a little nice like I don't know crisp edge let me put my wings on top of a little thing here you can really put as many as will fit.

I'll only make 6 at the moment these are just a few The wings I bought at Costco are very simple I put the lid on the top so now that I have the wings in the pot and I put the grill rack on because I want to cook them on the grill I want them They are very crispy and really perfect. Remember that you are raw right now. I need them to be well cooked and juicy. I'm going to roast them and I think that's going to be the best method here, so when you're going to roast people who can't really control the temperature, it's always going to be 400 degrees. but you can control the time, but I want it in 10 minutes.

What I'm going to do is go for 10 minutes. I'm going to press the start button. It's probably going to take me a few moments to get started here and if you want halfway, you can take off the cap and then make sure you put it on this plastic wrestling device. You don't want to put it directly on

your

counter and you can give all the wings a little bit of a twist if you want if you want to have the mobile a little bit sharper along that little beep means it's telling me to put the lid back on in case that I forget it.

I guess they look pretty good so far, it's been halfway there. about five minutes now let's finish browning them just put the lid back on and it will resume exactly where it was and by the way once it hits the one minute mark it will start counting down in the second from the last minute and when is ending, it will say end and leave it on for a few more moments blowing the air I think while you turn off the heating element and then look at those wings and they look like some crispy wings, don't forget that. to put

your

crispy lid on the plastic sure that comes with the little round disco now let's take our tongs here and check that they look great, they look great and put them on a plate, okay, look it's nice and all the extra grease already It's, you know it's going to drain and go well into the pot to clean up later, but whatever you know, it can't be a perfect world anyway, guys, let's try this, okay, guys, it's game day. , so this is very appropriate to make some wings, look at the tests. is down to see if we can make them this way instead of in the oven and here they are and Richard tries one on someone Oh, what do you think?

I'll do it at the same time and he has a drumstick and I got up. wink Oh the banjo guys are amazing, they're actually great, although it seems to burn now, really hot, juicy, they're really juicy mmmmm, delicious, they're hot, I should have waited a few more minutes. Banjo, I feel so bad, I mean, look how beautiful this wing is. It's look how juicy, guys, it's super juicy, it's so hot, look, I feel so bad that my daughter is begging for these wings, that's how good these wings are. Rock, I mean, I don't have to explain what I just did.

There it is, that's how good you guys are. I'm definitely amazing in terms of crunchiness. I feel like if I can take some raw chicken wings and then make them perfect, you can do anything right in the air fryer, crisper drawer, or Baker. from the toaster or whatever you want to call him he does all those things what is it baby do you want a wing is that what you want you want a wing you want a wing well he will just listen to it nicely so it's good almost Now he looks a little like a cat, a little true , dude, yeah, he loves chicken, it might just be okay, it's okay.

I said I wasn't going to show you how to pressure cook this at first because I know we already know how to do it. in the end, but then I realize that not everyone watching this might have used one before, so I'm going to show you how to pressure cook and finish a dish by making it crispy in the same pot, but amazing, all in the same pot, OK? This is literally the quickest, easiest, most delicious macaroni and cheese you'll ever make. Forget about the stove ever again. I'm going to take 1 pound or 1 box of any noodle of your choice instead of using elbow macaroni.

I like to use cell phones and small ones. or cavatappi, the same thing just different names, they look like little people, you know, pigtails, little curls, come back in. I'm going to add 4 cups of chicken or garlic broth. You can add garlic sauce to make it vegetarian and this is a lot. By the way, it's tastier than just using water because it infuses the pasta with flavor as it cooks and I just want to soften the pasta so it's nice and mostly submerged in the broth, it's okay if some of it peaks above and now I want to add four tablespoons or half a stick of salted butter while I'm first going to add my pressure cooking lid, okay, pressure cooking lid, make sure it's in the sealing position, which is automatically with this model as well as the ultra low, I'm a control panel and I'm going to press pressure cook and I want to cook again for six minutes on high pressure if I want to change the pressure to low, which I would never do, I would press pressure. cook again but it will always be on high to set the time just press the plus and minus buttons like this six minutes on high pressure then I have to press start on this model now once it starts the pressure cooking process on a instant pot, it's I'm going to say for a few moments at the beginning that it won't immediately start at the cooking time that I set and it will start counting down because it has to put pressure on first, so what's going to happen now when a ton of steam will build up into the pot with all the liquid there and then it will push the pin on the top of the lid up and in a few moments after that pin appears on the lid, that's what will start the countdown for the time we've made it. configured. pressure cooking, see what I mean and now that the pressure cooking is done, we're going to do a quick release, speaking of which, whenever you do some pressure cooking, it's going to go to this L and then 3-0 on the screen, the L means elapsed time.

It will now count how much time has passed since the pressure cooking cycle was completed and then go into keep warm mode by default unless you choose not to keep warm before pressure cooking, but I always suggest leaving it on keep warm. Because why not keep the pot warm after you've made it? That's also helpful to know if you're doing it naturally. So if something says allow a five minute natural release, wait until five minutes have passed, that would be L zero two points zero. five four five minutes and then you end up with a quick release, we don't worry about that, in this circumstance we're going to allow a quick release right away and I'll do it by pressing this button here and the pen just drops now.

We can open the lid and that is our pasta to cook and then once we stir everything, you will see that it will have been cooked perfectly and there will be some liquid left in the pot, but that is normal, we want it there because it will serve as a base for our sauce, now let's add our cheese. I'm going to add two 8 ounce or 16 ounce packages or 4 cups of grated cheddar cheese and a quarter cup of grated parmesan. I will also optionally add a tablespoon of hot sauce and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. I love both, so I'll add both.

You don't really know much about either, they just add great flavor to everything, so I suggest adding them, you won't make it. spicy and now let's stir everything until everything melts the heat of the pasta will melt the cheese basically immediately none of that weird scary sauce in a packet that you get with other things this is the real mmm mmm nice and gooey gooey and creamy look this macaroni and cheese, amazing, now if you want, you can make it extra decadent and even thicker by adding about 2 or 4 ounces of a block of cream cheese or a 5.2 ounce package of Boursin or if you want. to be crazy you can add both but it will be super thick but I'm just going to add a little bit of Boursin because that's what I have now and here it ismy package of Boursin which I just cut into pieces so when I start on my mac and cheese it will disperse more evenly and this should also melt relatively quickly and there you have it, some really delicious and outrageously delicious mac and cheese but since I'm making this on the double crispy, let's make the most of it and make a Ritz cracker crust and cover it in there and bake it well, let's take a Ritz cracker roll and I just crushed it and half a stick of salted butter that I melted in the microwave for about 40 seconds and now I'm going to pour this over my crushed Ritz crackers and then just mix it with a fork, great, and now I'm going to take my crumbs here, I micro the Ritz cracker and I just added on top, how did it evenly disperse?

It doesn't have to be perfect, we're going to do this right in the pot, we're not going to transfer it to a saucepan and put it in the oven, we're just going to do it right as we're going to be Kristen, let's remove the pressure cooking lid and add. on our crispy top now what I want to do is use the air fryer for this because I want to give it a nice crunchy touch and I want to spend five minutes at 375 degrees again. I adjust my temperature to the left using the plus and minus buttons. 375 is great and the time right I wonder for five minutes started.

This is that simple, once it reaches the temperature of 375, which would be in a matter of moments, it will display the temperature here and start counting down. This takes a lot faster than building pressure a fraction of the time because of the way it just counts down and seconds later there's only one minute left with just the crispy lid on, it won't do that with pressure cooking for some reason, well, I'm not sure why but whatever it's not a big deal and now that we're done it says it will finish and take a few moments to cool down and then once it stops I'll take the lid off, it's gone silent let's check it out, Let's remove the cover.

I'll rest it securely on the little plastic thing here. and guys, look at that, a beautiful golden brown crust. I mean, it looks great, let's dig in here and we saw some creamy, gooey macaroni and cheese under that crust. It's perfect to do it like this, you could do the same thing if I'm making, like I said, my own baked ziti and you want to sprinkle some cheese instead of a crust on top and then melt the cheese, we'll get a shiny bubbly, do whatever you want, it works perfectly that way. Just try it guys, here's my macaroni and cheese and oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, there we go, it's ridiculous, it's amazing.

I mean, macaroni and cheese alone is amazing, but once you add that little crust to it just switching gears. with different tapas it's nirvana, that's incredible. I easily placed under this bowl very quickly, so the dual fries pass the pressure cooking and crisping test with flying colors, well done my friend, well done, there you have it boy, it's the duo of instant pots. Crisp Plus Airfryer I feel like it's just going to be called Dual Crisp, although obviously if a Christmas is an Airfryer, that's just my opinion, you know, funnel thoughts, it's very, very, very simple to use.

I mean, the buttons are very basic as is the screen. I mean we're talking about going back to retro LED instead of a nice LCD screen. That said, with the recent release of the dual evil plus and how amazing the screen is on there, it's a bit shocking to see such a small screen. screen on a new probably flagship device, this is probably the most innovative instant pop from instant brands released to date, so I'm a little surprised that the screen doesn't match that glory. I just wish the instant pot had double sharpness. the future has a little more innovation in terms of screen for me, it's a little strange going back being so small and you don't know this like bells and whistles like the Evo plus or even the dual plus or the Nova duo when the dual crisp on Yes it is much more in terms of innovation and what it can do.

I feel like the control panel should match that, but then again you know what is sometimes simpler, so my final thought is that I love the dual crisp. I think it's great. I think it has an advantage for foodies and the fact that this lid comes off, whereas the foodie ninja is always on and you always have to put it down, so when pressure cooking you have to have it upright, since it always is. attached and then you have the pressure cooking lid on top, it looks incredibly strange and very cumbersome here, is this lid if it's crispy or this lifts the pressure cooking and connects directly to the instant pot and gets power from it . unlike some third party models where you have to plug it into the wall and you know a brand I don't really know or trust.

I know I can trust the Instant Pot, okay guys, and this in general, I think if I'm looking for an air fryer and Instant Pot all in one, these are the things again as of now. I think it only comes in the 8 quart but it might come in the 6 quart but honestly if you're crunchy a quart is the best size I mean you really need it to get the most out of everything you need more diameter you need more depth to really get great crunchy action. I personally say you will have a tough decision between this and the duo evo plus. because the Eva plus dual features a beautiful display, a beautiful new lid design and it also has those amazing and convenient handles on our pot so you can place it right under the instant pot and you can transfer places without having to carry the whole pot , you could even put it. put it on the stove and reheat it there, this model unfortunately does not have those capabilities, it takes you right up to the other stainless steel pots which are just great and very reliable, but it can let fresh air in here, so if you are looking for the new pot this season the choice is yours, do you want the air to be fresh or do you want to be able to have a new pot more innovative in terms of being able to lift it with the handles, that nice or new lid, it's totally up to you, but I love both so it's difficult for me to choose so as if they were both my children, how do I choose my child?

That's it guys, that's all I have for you, so if you enjoy these
