This video was so helpful: clear, concise, and informative. I don’t know why the Instant Pot manufacturer didn’t produce a video like this. Their “How to Use” video is more of a commercial than an instructional video.
@Marco Kashton Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
It seems some people don't see the benefit but I like being able to cook by whatever method in one appliance. It saves me so much cleanup - stove top, baking sheet in the oven, etc. Plus in the summer here in Arizona it really helps tremendously in keeping the kitchen cool. I look forward to seeing you experiment so we can all learn with you. Thanks for another good video.
A few months ago I bought the Instant Pot that Costco sells. Using it more than my stove. I have a Mealthy Air Fryer and it does a pretty good job too. Then last month I bought a Tenergy Infrared Grill that I sit on top of my Induction glass cooktop directly under my range hood. Between the Instant Pot and the Tenergy I seldom use my stove and pots and pans. I also have an Anova Sous Vide immersion circulator but I'm finding I am using it less these days. We eat Keto at my house so its mostly meats and vegetables. I told my wife I wish I had bought the Instant Pot and an Infrared Grill long ago. The Duo Crisp would be more convenient than the Mealthy and the new design of the Instant Pot lid is pretty smart move.
You might consider pulling off the silverskin from the underside of the next rack of ribs before seasoning. Also, I've seen racks cut in half and tented against each other to cook in the air fryer basket. That should work nicely for you. 🙂
If you would see your book you would notice that the one with the two finger holes is for dehydrating. You do not need to use that for the simple air frying. Just the air frying basket is a must.
Really good video. Love this product because it really is a one stop station, no mess, no extra cleaning of conventional oven. And it feels is energy efficient. Thank you
I’ve had the Instant Pot since Christmas. Everything from wings(4 times) pot roast, pork tenderloin, boiled eggs, have turned out perfect. Exceeded my expectations expectations, and my family. When I showed my wife the “crisper lid” and then the cost, I got the usual- “You have a birthday coming up at the end of August.” That’s not a “no”, but to be on the safe side I’ll continue you to follow along and forward your... instant pot duality. (I’ll throw my in occasionally, “Oh. I can’t make that, I don’t have the crisper lid... Bummer...)
You explained every thing very well. Just discovered your videos today - 10/25/2020. Have my Duo for about a week. Told DH that I plan on using it every day for a month to test it out. After watching you take off the little pressure release thingies I not afraid to pull on them. Have not taken them off yet for cleaning because I was afraid of damaging them. Now I am subscribing to your channel! Thank you for your videos.
Thanks for the demo. After watching your crisp lid reviews I asked Santa for a crisp lid and he brought me one I did not want another countertop appliance when I could just get something that attaches to my instant pot counter space is very limited in my teny tiny kitchen
I don't even use the instapot airfryer basket anymore; the plastic feet smells when airfrying, and the basket eventually stains with oil which is impossible to get all of it off. I found just cooking straight in the Instapot works even better than using the basket. It seems to cook better, and it's way easier to clean the instapot than the basket. Stuff sticks way less on the Instapot than the basket when washing.
Got my IP do a crisp went Target had them on sale. Thanks for the heads up. Have pepper roasted a whole chicken, are fried chicken legs and ribs baked a cherry pie..
@@danboone5672 Sorry about the mistakes. I have to voice text because I don't see print i do the best that I can. Don't always have someone here to read for. me
Your explanation was of great help to me. I decided to buy it after hearing your explanation. I'm going to challenge myself. I subscribed to your channel. Thank you.
Thank you so much. Your video is so clear and thorough. I was not clear at all about the pressure release steps from the "Getting Started" manual that came with the pot.
Loved this video! We are so excited to receive our instant pot duo crisp in 2 weeks! I love that i'll be able to cook by any method in one single appliance. Making large meals with sides and a dessert usually takes 2 loads in the dishwasher and so much time. I'm so excited to make this process easier! I've found quite a few recipes on YT for the crisp lid so far 🙂
I wasn't clear either on the value of the air fryer but since purchasing, I'm absolutely in love with it. I use it nearly every meal for roasting the veges or potatoes: I do the prep, line the basket with parchment paper, toss in the veges, set the timer and get a perfectly done side dish every time, even if it has to sit for a bit until whatever else being made is ready to serve.
I found a much easier way of removing the top metal rack of the air fryer is by using a set of pliers in the two large center holes. Works like a charm with no tipping of the rack.
Thanks for the great review. Ribs look delicious! Not sold on the whole air fryer lid thing. Seems so much easier to throw them under the broiler for a few minutes like I do now. without having to go through all these extra steps and extra things to clean.
When using Airfry lid You could have put the full cooking time in.. Instead of 8.. Put 16 minutes then turn food.. As the pot does alarm to turn food... Much easier to also learn how long it takes to cook as you can lift the lid at anytime to check if it's done to your liking.
The top metal "rack" is clumsy when taking out to turn what's cooking on the bottom. I have tried some tools of sorts to lift it out when it's time to turn the items cooking, fingers aren't an option as the top rack gets hot. What do you recommend to use to remove that top metal rack (chrome with holes) . Bad design IMHO. Thank you
I just used my duo. Worked fine. I wanted to heat up a stuffed green pepper with extra rice and meat in an extra smaller pot I put on a trivet. I didn’t know if I needed to add water. So I did and set it on steam. I don’t know when to add water. I know steam needs water and pressure cook too. Not sure about other settings.
Thanks for a great review. So have subscribed 👍 Am new to the IP world, but this model appears to offer everything I would need. So am looking forward to you testing out the ‘sous-vide’ and ‘dehydrate’ functions in the near future - no pressure...
Great review, thank you! I got one recently and mostly love it. Only two complaints: as your review showed, the second-level tray of the air fryer basket is terribly designed. The trick is to lift the right edge with a fork, then use tongs to push the left side down, then grab the right side to pull up. Grrr. The other issue is that the "non-stick" basket is more like glue. Food literally melds to it. It is harder to clean than anything else I own. Soaking, dishwasher, even pure sodium percarbonate (active ingredient in Oxiclean) don't make a dent. Maybe mine is just defective and didn't get the teflon coating. Anyone else have this problem?
Same here. The tray sucks, the basket gets food glued to it, and the area of usage is very small. I cannot imagine cooking the whole chicken in the air fryer basket. Maybe in instapot basket instead? But then the chicken will be far away from the frying lid.
Thank you so much for tip to look for Ninji foodie recipes. Extremely disappointed with Instant Pot for not including something. Been searching every where online for help as burnt things trying to figure out temp and time to use for air fryer on my own with no recipes.
Absolutely yes! I got the 8L for the times I might need it.. But I have to tell you.. It The best buy of my life! Once you get used to it... You'll only use One pot! A must buy!
Very good and thorough demonstration. I would just cook the ribs and run them under the broiler however, so much easier and can do them all at once. I have an oven with a convection fan, what is the difference between just air frying using the convection feature of my oven over a small counter top air fryer ? Thanks for the video
I guess you have found other answers yet, since your question was posted 11 months ago. But PressureLuck Cooking channel (Jeff) has a review of the Crisp, where he mentions why he by far prefers the Instant Pot Duo Crisp, than the Mealthy crisp lid.
this looks like a great gadget... i do not see a follow up video re the crisping on 2 levels? - have you perhaps done that but not recorded..... and i'm curious as to that also... i might get this pot ... still want a verdict on sous vide capability
Thanks, Nili, for this video. I already have a 6 qt and 8 qt instant pot and wanted to get the Healthy crisp lid. Do you think the crisp lid is just as good as this new model?
is there a ceramic coated inner liner for this duo crisp instant pot? Every one i see online says "Not compatible with duo crisp instant pot" is there a reason i can't use the ceramic coated liner and switch it out to the stainless steal one b4 pressure cooking / air frying? please help
My husband was upset that I did not take the stickers off before using this. Do they have to be removed? I cooked ribs last night. The first time I used it and they turned out great.
Thanks for the unboxing and initial cook. The ribs looked delicious. I would also find that problem with the metal piece a problem. I also don’t like that you can’t see things cooking with the air fryer lid, unlike with the Mealthy CrispLid (which I have and adore). I would think that you can use any air fryer recipe with the AirCrisp air fryer lid. There are a ton of air fryer books out - I love Skinnytaste’s book. I don’t understand why they didn’t put recipes on their app for the AirCrisp when they knew they were putting the machine out. That isn’t fair to those customers who bought the machine. I think you can search Pinterest - there are probably recipes on there.
I have this unit. I'm not really into the air frying basket, I like to reverse the steamer rack and have more real estate for whatever I'm crisping....so, yeah, you can reverse that steamer rack, who knew!
Yes, I expect I'll be using it that way too! If I had put in a double layer of food in the basket it would have been nearly impossible to flip and rotate things throughout cooking with the way the basket is designed!
I think the tray may be upside down. Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like it might go the other way. I'd go ahead and try the two levels of cooking and reverse the pieces from bottom and top when flipping them over. Would save some time. Good video though.
I just purchased the duo evo plus. Haven’t used it. Wondering if I should exchange for this. I already have the cuisinart chef convention oven. Do you think this is necessary if I already have that oven?
If you have room in your kitchen it comes in handy to have both an airfryer/convection oven and an airfryer lid as they are useful for different things. The lid is nice for just adding a bit of browning on the top of something you just pressure cooked. It's a hassle to take it out of the pot into another pan to brown in an oven.
Hi I probably have a question that you don’t normally get asked every day I am totally blind and I was wondering if there’s any possible way that you could either write me reply to this comment or make a video of all the different buttons like where they’re located like for example so like bottom left is like a start or whatever just something similar if you could I would really appreciate it I just got this a couple days ago for my birthday and it would really be helpful
For me that’s way too many steps when I can just do them all in the traditional oven method... it’s not like I’d be frying them in oil anyway ...so not saving much in any respect by doing them in this. I get the impression that people are taking the purpose of air fryer way out of context which was suppose to initially be to deep fry without oil...so why cook something that isn’t normally oil fried in an air fryer?
R. Severn yup... I have them all... my microwave even doubles as a convection oven... but even if I just had the instant pot and an air fryer By the time the IP comes up to and releases from pressure and cooks it and one crisps it all in the crisper it just seems a bit cumbersome doing it this way... if you don’t have an oven altogether well then it might be an option... don’t get me wrong each one of these things has their specialty use but trying to make them into a catch all/do all is beyond me 😏
@@IndigoNili why is that? Everything that I have read is that this pot get above 240 degrees which is required for low acid vegetables and max psi is around 11 I think and all that's needed for green beans is 10.
It can do it but the temperature regulation isn't very good. The actual water temperature seems vary around 10 to 15 degrees (up or down) of the manual setting. Whereas an emersion circulator will be with a one degree varience.
pesto12601 I see you have never made yogurt in an instant pot. The yogurt button is one of the few that you actually need to perform the stated function. How would you go about making yogurt without it? I’ll be waiting for your step-by-step instructions. LOL 😐

Thanks for including your mishap with the fryer insert…When you first started having the problem, I was thinking fork…😉
If you would see your book you would notice that the one with the two finger holes is for dehydrating. You do not need to use that for the simple air frying. Just the air frying basket is a must.
You can actually use it as a 2nd layer and have done both halves of the ribs in one go. I do.
Thank you for keeping your struggle with the silver insert during air frying. I agree you found a flaw! Nice video, thanks!
There are recipe ebooks on Amazon available for the duo crisp already. I've found about 4 of them just in case anyone is interested.
Shannon Allen I generally just watch indigo Nili or John Sanders or pressure luck cooking. They explain everything and detail pitfalls.
How cool! I love both my IP and my air fryer...I love the idea of having one appliance that does both! And, yes, those ribs looked amazing.

I was thinking about maybe getting one of these for college. Does anyone know how difficult it is to clean the inside of the air frying lid?
I think you can reverse the wire trivet/ rack , bringing the meat higher up in the pot, so you could put two pieces of ribs at once.
Just watched a TH-cam video on the new instant pot crisp that is so similar to the Mealthy
Next time, pull the whole basket out, let it cool (60 seconds?) then adjust the tray.
Steve Tait also, the folded under side is the bottom, faces down.
Thank you for sharing

Yes! Rice comes out perfectly using the pressing cooking lid. This size is great for a family of four and allow enough for leftovers 🙂
You had the broil plate in upside down, that's way it moved around.

How well does the Sous Vide function work?
It can do it but the temperature regulation isn't very good. The actual water temperature seems vary around 10 to 15 degrees (up or down) of the manual setting. Whereas an emersion circulator will be with a one degree varience.
@@eferz1 Thanks Earl!! That's too bad. Sounds like the circulator is the way to go.
I'm confused do you get two lids??
Yes, 2 lids
@@IndigoNili yay thank you. Beginner here, trying to learn which is best fits my family needs😁 will be first instant ever🙏
needle nose pliers to lift steam plate.
Does it smells plastic when cooking?
The first couple of times I used it there was a smell but it dissipated after that
I have tried instapot 3 times now and I still think it makes the food mushy. I will never try it again.
It's all in the timing. You can always go longer if it's under cooked. It won't work the other way.
I threw the condenser out! Help!?
Many people use their pots without a condensation collector. Just wipe the back of the pot if you notice any water dripping down.
Have found you tube Scott Cooks a big help even though he uses the Ninja and I the IP

don't submerge the fryer lid in water
Very informative, however the presenter seemed bored
Oh boy, the looks of the airfryer lid just turned me off. So ugly. I ll stick w a duo and a typical airfryer, "double the space" be damn!
Never was interested in this I’ll continue doing ribs the method I use fit decades. Love my IPs this not so much.
it's not a fryer...it's just a mini convection oven
It's an air fryer which is it's own thing. Very similar to a convention oven, yes.
This video is way too long for the info provided :-(
I'm personally offended at the way you cooked those ribs
No yogurt button? I need my yogurt button!
pesto12601 I see you have never made yogurt in an instant pot. The yogurt button is one of the few that you actually need to perform the stated function. How would you go about making yogurt without it? I’ll be waiting for your step-by-step instructions. LOL 😐
@@Karen-se5jw I like to make yogurt in my IP too. Tastes so good. I do want to get a strainer though.
A strainer will make your already yummy yogurt thicker and creamier...so good!
Does the airfry lid get really dirty or? Nice video btw!
