Instant Pot Pro Crisp 11-in-1 Air Fryer and Pressure Cooker

In this review of the Instant Pot Pro Crisp, the bottom line is clear: this is a best-fit cooker for households that want one appliance to replace many. With an 8 quart capacity and two removable lids - a pressure-cooker lid and an air-fryer lid - it combines fast pressure cooking with an air frying finish that crisps with far less oil. The single biggest reason to buy is practical versatility: it effectively replaces 11 appliances while keeping a cookware-grade inner pot you can use on the stove for browning or finishing.

Key Features

• 11-in-1 functionality: Combines pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, saute pan, food warmer, sous vide, air fryer, roaster, mini oven, broiler and dehydrator so you can prepare a wide range of meals with one device.
• Two removable lids: Switch easily between the pressure-cooker lid for fast, sealed cooking and the air-fryer lid for EvenCrisp results without needing separate machines.
• Premium inner pot: A cookware-grade inner pot with stay-cool silicone handles lets you move the pot to the stove top to finish dishes or brown ingredients safely.
• EvenCrisp technology: The air fryer lid crisps with up to 95% less oil, producing crunchy textures while cutting fat compared with deep-frying.
• Customizable cooking programs: Built-in programs cover Pressure Cook, Saute, Slow Cook, Steam, Sous Vide, Warm, Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Broil and Dehydrate for flexible meal prep.
• Included accessories: Comes with a stainless-steel steam rack, non-stick multi-level air fryer basket with a dehydrating/broiling tray, plus a heat-resistant pad and storage cover for convenience.

Who It's For

The Instant Pot Pro Crisp is ideal for busy families and anyone who wants to consolidate countertop appliances; the 8 quart size easily serves up to eight people, making it practical for family dinners, batch cooking and meal prep. Home cooks who like trying different techniques will value the combination of pressure cooking speed and air frying crisp.

Those who should look elsewhere include cooks with extremely limited counter space who may find the unit large, and people who only need a simple slow cooker or toaster oven without the added features. If you rarely cook for more than one or two, a smaller multicooker might be a better fit.
