6Qt is the right size for my 1 person family. 8Qt probably good for a family of 4 or more. I can't eat a whole chicken, so it's moot. I don't eat rice, so having no rice setting is moot. But also the price. 8Qt was $190CAD. 6Qt was $100CAD. Almost double for a bit more space but a lot more kitchen shelf space, which in my small kitchen is limited. Little enough room for storage as well. The 8 is HUGE. But looking forward to making some foods that I will enjoy with my 6 Qt. Thanks for the video...
Great comparison! You just stopped me from buying the 6QT one.
A little notice. You might wanna set manual exposure on the camera when shooting. The exposure jumps back and forth A LOT. It really affects watching experience >
I greatly appreciate you were to the point within the first 27 seconds. Seriously, thank you.
Great overview! I also bought a 6qt originally and just had to update to an 8qt... buying the 6qt was one of the only regrets I've had in trying to save money. Don't have a lot of time to cook, so I like to make large portions to last me a week or more... and 8 qt is just more accommodating. Would actually probably like a 10qt even better, but for some reason the price ramps waaay up for those.
We bought the 8 qt. from Kohl's Black Friday sale. When we opened it, we wondered if we should have bought the smaller 6q qt. since it is usually just me and my husband. After watching your video, we will keep the 8 qt. We definitely want to cook whole chickens and large roasts or pork loin in it, and it looks like the 8 qt. is the way to go! Thank you!
I've done a fair amount of watching videos and looking at reviews. "Cooking with Lori" pressure cooked a 5lb chicken in the 6 qt stainless steel insert and browned it using the air fryer lid after. Looked beautiful! You can use the air fryer lid on the stainless steel insert with a trivet or other device to raise the food up a bit and allow the air to circulate or just have enough sauce on the bottom to prevent burning. I'm single and have an instant pot already so I think the 6 qt. will be sufficient plus save money and space in my small kitchen. I don't intend to use the inner pot anyway as I like to stay away from non stick surfaces. Not a perfect product for sure but many seem to do just fine.
lol!
BTB: "Watch Me Resist Black Friday Deals"
also BTB: "6 Qt vs 8 Qt Instant Pot with Air Fryer"
Lol. In that previous video, you saw me buy the 6 qt Instant Pot. Turns out it was on sale for a reason. =(
You don't need to use the crisper basket for chickens, can use the trivet and utilise the full size
Whoa! I didn’t think of that thanks!
I have both the 6qt and the 8qt of the older version. They're one of the best investment I've made and save a lot of time cooking.
Excellent for beans and steel cut oats cooks very fast. Fast means less energy used.
Hi Francis!!!! 😀😀😀😀😀😀I really appreciated your detailed review of this product!!!! Please do more reviews of household products and gadgets!!!
More to come!
Excellent video. Very through. Very clear, easy to understand, and well paced.
I prefer the 500qt. It comes with Tesla inside. 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Lol... That's a stretch though.
🤣🤣🤣
@@plantbasedwell-being3309 it's like he's never listened to one speech by Peter Lynch... Instead he's trying to cut coupons and sell me deep fryers. 🤷♂️
@@AllYouWantAndMore Meh, I skipped past the coupons no good to me here in Scotland. 😆
He isn’t earning quite as much as Lynch on TH-cam royalties yet...🙄
Those giant instapots take up alot of counter top space. And if it's just you and your girlfriend, you might end up finding that the 6 qt is the perfect size for everyday use. I have a 3 qt and it's just me. I end up making frozen leftovers for a few days. They say the cooking time is identical for all size pots but i think my little 3 qt cooks much faster that the larger sizes. My friend and I made mashed potatoes last year for Thankgiving and hers took 3 times as long as mine. It's something to think about.
Did you cook the same amount of stuff in each? Was the cooking on high vs. low heat. Or high vs. low pressure? It probably takes more time to build pressure in the larger pot if you cook minimal amounts.
It does take longer for the larger pots, but if you put it on saute while you're prepping it'll be much faster
@@BeatTheBush "Was the cooking on high vs. low heat. Or high vs. low pressure?" High pressure is just more heat. (When you have water.) 😀 It doesn't actually control the pressure in any way. It can only control the heat and monitor the temperature. Which makes me wonder if you can cook at the higher magical "15 PSI" if you use just SLIGHTLY more heat and a heavier pressure release weight.
This was a very helpful review.
I think you can airfry whole chicken without fitting in that small basket for 6qt. Same like those old days turbo broiler where air is use for cooking.
Thank you so much for showing the difference between the 6 Qt and the 8 Qt. I was wondering which would cook a whole chicken better when the air fryer insert is in it. Now I know I will buy the 8 Qt instead of the 6 Qt.
I am trying to figure out how much more you can air fry in the 8qt vs the 6. Does anybody know? I know they both come with an insert so you could theoretically cook a portion of fries and a portion of wings, for example, but do the items on the insert cook as well as the items placed in the base of the air fryer basket?
40 dollars and Rakuten has permission to read all of your emails. Always a catch. Hmmm.
Not that I know of. Where are you getting this from?
@@BeatTheBush I went to sign up but then I read the pop-up box where it says you are giving them permission to read all of your emails. I believe I read it correctly, however, I don't understand how they could do this without an agreement with whoever is hosting your email server. Maybe some email companies allow this where Google would not. Or maybe even google would allow a third party to read your emails with your permission. I don't know.
Okay Billy I just bought the 8 QT. Instant pot with fryer through your link with MACY’S and I used my PayPal too! This is the first time I ever did that. Now I wait for my $40.00! Yup!!!
Nice! High five! =D
@@BeatTheBush just got a question for you . Where do I find the $40.00 rebate if I used PayPal?
@@BeatTheBush Billy I reached out to PayPal and they never heard of the $40.00 refund? Can you please let me know what the code is or where did you hear about the $40.00 refund? I’m so bummed out if this isn’t true! Please help me.
@@maryannsperlinga563 From what I understood from the video, thought I wasn't listening too hard, was that the 40 dollars was a limited special if you bought through the rakuten website, not the macy's... at 38 seconds in, if you pause the video, it says you have to purchase something through rakuten, then refer a friend who also buys something, then after they buy something, then you get $40 off on your next purchase (not on the instapot purchase). No idea if rakuten is still offering that deal, but often those deals are just to make you spend more and now your friend has to buy stuff too, I personally don't think it'd be worth it.
I already bought the duo crisp. Thank you for your content. Btw, if you like the old pot because of the calibration, can’t you use it on the duo crisp too? It looks like they are the same size
Yes. You can do exactly that and I intend to do so.
Watched the buy on previous video and decided against another instant pot. Found the Ninja Foodi Pro 11 in 1 while researching. Waiting for the 8qt since the 6qt is the latest. Thanks for the review!
Ninja is jumping on the bandwagon for pressure cooker too eh?
@@BeatTheBush The entire time. Started with blenders and now Ninja is extensive and well thought out with their 8 in 1 and now 11 in 1 setups. Instant pot is playing catchup. Have two instant pots 6qt and 8qt which is still a multifunctional , portable kitchen equipment. Watching to see if the air fryer is worth another kitchen appliance?
@@BeatTheBush You are returning it which should be easy at Walmart I think. However watch out that cashback may have the right to change the amount you receive on a straight return. Save it for something useful. Ciao
Great video!! I have been going back and forth, getting the 8qt after watching this. Thanks
Some said you can remove the inner air fry tray to roast a chicken and I have tried it since and it works great with the 8qt.
@@BeatTheBush great advice’
Just yesterday I thought of getting one. You're psychic
=D
Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!! This video really helped me to make my decision, going with the 8qt! Yay!
I think you can use the air fryer lid without the small basket.
Good point. I'll try that.
What’s wrong with the old one? Does it last long? Have you tried air fry? Does it come out much steam and make the house smoky? Many thanks.
This is a really good review. Thanks!
Thanks! Hope you show us how to roast a chicken soon!
Insta pot what is that? I have an instant pot. I do love ir
The best air fryer is a convection oven
Most can fit a whole chicken
Not everyone can run their full sized convection oven in the winter. (If you have sub-freezing temps and if it's a gas oven, which you'd want to open the windows to use.)
11/4/22- I just picked up an instant pot air fryer, I am excited to try it out. I suppose the old Instant Pot stainless steel pot (with the marking) could be used in the same 6Q of Instant Pot air fryer device? Thanks for the review!
Hi btb you should do a what I eat in a week video if you can
I could splice together a short clip every time I eat something from now until 7 days later. =D
I’ll join the peanut gallery, make a video about NIO and AMC theaters lol 😝
0:33 BTB, who as far as we know is single or maybe lives with one other person. "This 6 quart Instant Pot is not big enough!" 😆 Wow. I guess if you are saving a lot of leftovers, you'd want the bigger one. (Or, as you said, cooking a lot of chickens.)
Great to cook in large batches to save on cooking time.
How do these compare with the Ninja Foodi? I'm trying to decide between this or that
insta all day bby!
Thanks as always for your perspective
6qt will cook game hens 😂 thanks for the review! I’ll pick out the 8qt for convenience
You're welcome!
This is extremely helpful. Thank you!!
Nice review! I'm going to be roasting before I know it.
What referral link?
Opps. Sorry about that, I just added it. Get your $40 free to buy something. =D
The air fryer I had drew too much power and it tripped the circuit breaker multiple times. Not a safe device at all.
How much is too much? For ex I've just measured this thumble dryer I bought recently and it is happily using 2.6kW and that did not trip my circuit breaker. The fryer uses only 1 so either it has faulty wiring or your circuit breaker is faulty.
Was it an instapot air fryer or a different brand? Genuinely want to know. Thank you.
@@luvslyfe1 Dont recall the exact brand, but I do remember I got it from Costco.
I've been holding off on an Instant Pot and the air fryer might be the trigger that has me buying one finally. It will be the 8 qt for me. BTW... Will the old 8qt pot (with all the markings) fit into the new version? If so, problem solved. :)
Yes. You can just use the old marking container in the new one.
My wife and I bought the Ninja instant pot air fry combo. Ninja is best in industry, however if you can snag an instant pot at a super big discount itd totally be worth it!
@@MochaZilla - Thanks for the tip.
@@scottscriticalmass Anytime man!
@@MochaZilla I’ve had two Ninja blenders, both died within one year. Terribly noisy to boot. Got a Nutribullet which is quieter and has lasted beyond both Ninja products I purchased previously.
Excellent explanation
Does the air fryer uses more electricity then an oven, for cooking a comparable size chicken?
It would heat less space but it depends on how insulated both devices are. I would bet the pot uses less per chicken cooked.
good to find out that the frying basket is made of aluminium... I PREFER NOT TO USE ANYTHING of silicon or aluminium.
Kanga Foodie one says 8QT but the container shows 26 cups max LOL.
Everything is big in America! Big burgers, big cars, big pots, big people, big guns and big chickens
Darn straight! Go big or go home! Lol
It’s all the artificial additives and hormones in the food
I am glad I don't live in America
you can't use your previous pot with the graduation in the new one ? Seems to be the same size
Helpful video. Thanks.
Are you explaining about the discount or the instapot which one to buy?
I’ve been using a 6qt for about 6 years now and have a lot of accessories for that size. I bought the air fryer lid right before I moved to Europe but now I can see that this part just isn’t going to work with the power inverter. :(
So now I’m looking at getting a 220v duo crisp, but wondering if I should stay with the 6L or go for the larger model. Your video was informative. The point about the markings in the pot is key.
Decisions. Decisions.
which one did you go for? :)
At least it can do🤔
some kind of chicken🤣🤣🤣
I suppose the Air Fryer lid is not washable. So how do you clean it?
I would take it apart to clean.
Great video,The 6 quart will hold a whole chicken on air fryer mode just don’t use the air fryer pot ,just use the regular stainless steel pot with a trivet as long as the chicken is elevated off the bottom air will circulate around it by using the trivet. But I do see what the video is saying about that basket it is kind of small on the fifth Court but if you’re doing onion rings or fries that’s kind of what that basket is for or wings. However you cannot get too many wings in there on the 6 quart though .
I just bought the new version and it does NOT come with the top rack for the air fryer. Unit is way tooooo small. There is no way this unit can replace my old 4qt. air fryer or 6qt. pressure cooker. I too will be returning. It takes up way too much counter space for what little food it can do.
Someone mentioned not using the rack when air frying a whole chicken.
I have the one without the air fryer, how is it? please can you make a video cooking a chicken with the air fryer!
Sure, I plan to do so. =D
I sent you a link of a video I just watched of a woman cooking a chicken in an instant pot and a ninja foodi. It was super helpful!
excellent review thank U!!
never used one but I need one
Cooking at home. Save thousands.
And not get COVID.
Wow, you are everywhere!
Is the credit applicable for overseas customers?
I don't it'll work because you have to order through their sites which are US based.
is the 6QT one only available at Wal-Mart? That's the only place I see it
Try Target, if possible.
@@ninejing9999 From what I've gathered it seems that the 6QT Instant Pot Duo Crisp is exclusive to Walmart. Everywhere else only has the 8QT Duo Crisp. And the 5QT Ninja Foodi seems to be exclusive to Target.
I've been researching and comparing the two. I ended up just now ordering the 6QT IP Duo Crisp from WalMart because the Cyber-Monday $79 sale price today was too hard to pass up and I missed out on the $99 5QT Ninja from Target on Black Friday.
@@CaboWabotv You may be right about exclusive sizes for Wal-Mart & Target; although, I think you should be pretty good with the 6QT IP Duo Crisp vs the 5QT Ninja Foodi (even though the Ninja Foodi brand seems to be high esteemed on TH-cam lol, I believe Ninja Kitchen Customer Support is a nightmare).
Unfortunately, I just found out about the IP Duo Crisp Pro and now I am obsessing over getting the latest version.. Can't win out here, lmao.
@@ninejing9999 yeah I prefer the Instant Pot brand; glad that's what I ended up getting. The Ninja brand seems kind of shady and scammy to me. Seems like they pay TH-camrs and Influencers to push their products online, so you can never really find an unbiased review of them.
But which one work better?
Very helpful! Thank you
You're welcome!
Please, How to: broil, bake, sous vide, steam
How do I clean where the fan is.
normal lighting vs super bright lighting (with air fryer)
How many of these do you have? Looking forward to cooking tutorials with these!
Transition phase. I am looking to own only one once I know which one I want.
All stores have return policies!
Returns are considered used. Open box items are discounted. Depending upon the item, it may even be discarded, as opposed to auctioned.
@@simpletongeek for the customer with a receipt and original packaging who cares the store will give credit.
@@justinaacorn5721 Less money for the store. Won't you be considerate to the store?
There are times when I was unsure about the item, I'd ask the store if I can open the box to check things out, with the salesperson watching, of course. Buying then returning, is a drain to the store.
Do you think it’s good for dorm? And maybe you can make easy cheap meals? Honestly the college food is affecting my gums in a bad way.
If the dorm allows it, absolutely! But I think a good rice cooker will work as well, and more commonly used and therefore accepted. Not everyday you see sous vide machine out there.
This is soooo good for a dorm because it's so multifunctional. However, it will give off cooking steam which may make the whole place smell like cooking.
OMG BTB, my Instantpot has just been delivered today. 🤭
Nice! You mean the 6 qt one I bought before? If you don't like it you can return it to Walmart in person btw.
@@BeatTheBush 6 qt Instantpot. I'm from The Philippines so no Walmart here. I'm sure I'll enjoy it. 😄 Please share us your simple Instantpot meals.
Thank you. How do we clean the airfryer lid
Probably have to take it apart. I haven't used mine enough to have it dirty yet.
The difference is 2 quarts.
You could fit a cornish hen in it. They fit my 3 quart instant pot.
I thought you QUIT?????
Hello please for 8 q don’t have rice or yogurt bottom which one I. Have to use for them
These things are not too great a making rice. It's acceptable but makes rice like a cheap rice cooker. No idea about yogurt since I never made it in this before.
Instant Pot? Instant money!
Seems like a nightmare to clean with the fan and all the perforated plates
I suppose if it splatters upwards which it probably will with such high heat.
I see screws. It can likely be disassembled if necessary. Not too much of a nightmare. (Just imagine if it was all riveted together...)
Which one can you pressure can in a quart glass container? Prepping
Huh... didn't even know you can do that. I did canning once but just used a regular pot.
@@BeatTheBush yes. You can find the tolerances based on elevation and explain that too to make this next year lockdown a bit nicer.
You must love chicken
Can I get it for 6 easy payments of $29.99 and can you throw in the pasta and ice cream maker attachment too ?
Easy payments? Lol. You can probably do that on eBay but $40 off $40 is pretty good no?
does he ever give anything away?
Yeah sometimes. I've done this in the past but the mailing of items was a lot of hassle.
@@BeatTheBush lol aka cost money!! ;)
Don't buy it. You don't need it.
Technically yes. But then if you know the background, I'm combining two machine I have into one.
@@BeatTheBush Thank you. Just joking.. You are doing a great job on your channel.
in the 11 in 1 does the power cord detach?
No.
Does this have dual voltage?
I'd doubt it. There is no 120V/240V switch, and the AC practically feeds the resistive plate directly. (Which means the plate is at some known resistance, which would be too small for 240V. It would likely melt at 240V.)
Can you show us how you cook a chicken In there
Sure, let me give it a few test runs first to make sure it turns out well.
Glad you’re not bored and at McDonald’s
Work there for fun?
You have to make chicken nugget than. It will fit than. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

That's just typically a grill?

I do agree you have to wash many air fryer parts after using!
