The Mealthy CrispLid turns your Instant Pot (or other 6 or 8 quart pressure cooker) into an air fryer. It is basically a heating unit and fan attached to a glass lid that fits on a 6 or 8 quart pressure cooker pot. It can broil, crisp, or air fry your food.
The CrispLid comes with a long-legged trivet, a fryer basket, silicone mat and tongs. Plus it has a small recipe booklet and instruction manual.
The CrispLid costs about $50. It is a good choice if you want an air fryer, already own an Instant Pot and don't have much space in your cupboards for another appliance.
The CrispLid seems to work best as an air fryer if the food is all in one layer. This will help the food crisp up a lot better. If you're looking to cook a lot of food then you may just want to use your oven. I would recommend the CrispLid for families up to 4 people. For example, you can only really "fry" one to two potatoes at a time.
The CrispLid comes in handy for melting cheese on your Instant Pot casseroles or crisping up chicken skin after it has pressure cooked.
I love that you can peek through the glass lid and check to see how the food is coming along.
It's easy to pause the air fryer by simply lifting the lid handle. Then resume cooking by clicking the handle in place.

I'm on the Mealthy people on facebook all the time and some even bake chicken etc. and some of this in the recipe book that comes with it. So far if you like chicken wings, chicken breasts flattened, and french fries that's what i did but some others have made much more. Really like mine for browning. Excellent comment by you Karen as always.. the tong fits well in the basket too but some don't like it in that hoop, so just have mitts on. Also there is parchment with holes made into them to place in basket and add spray to both.
Ive had mine for a week now and I love it! Just made two ingredient bagels for breakfast in my instant pot with the healthy lid, they came out wonderful! I think for a side dish I'm going to lightly steam some leaks salt and pepper them, then crisp them a bit and drizzle some balsamic vinegar on them.
My 35 YO microwave died. Hubby agreed if i bot an Ultra IP, (no microwave), everyone would be happy. DEAL! I LOVE MY IP. But, the crisp lid IP came out about a month later... what to do? I have a Nu-wave to do the melting, reheating , etc., If it gives up the ghost, I'll get the Mealthy lid! This way I have the Ultra and a way to broil. Yippee. And thanks for sharing your insights!
Thank you for the review Karen. In the recipe book that came with my lid it said to toss the fries in olive oil and add S&P before cooking. They were delicious. I will try bacon next.
Tried ours tonight. Made chicken wings. Hubby said they were the best wings I ever made. Not as dry as they tend to get in the oven. Cleanup was much easier than I expected.
I used our 6-quart IP. Add 1 cup water, place the trivet that comes with the CrispLid, add the basket (after spraying with nonstick cooking spray) add in seasoned wings (I used salt and pepper). High pressure cook for 7 minutes then QR. Remove water from bottom of IP liner. I crisped the wings for 16 minutes, turning in 4-minute increments, but I like them extra crispy. (8 minutes might be okay for some). Lastly, and this is optional, I removed the wings, placed them in a bowl and tossed them in our favorite sauce. Hope this helps. BTW... I love your channel and FB page!
Just got one... perfect addition for my instant Pot .....excellent review !
Dehydrates too. How ever one layer. I have a dehydrator, a convection oven with dehydration mode
In fact one can dehydrate in a regular oven.
Karen, at first I thought: SPLENDID! I WANT ONE. But then it seems quite limited in food volume, not a time saver, and what about clean-up (there's the bulky I.P. inner pot, utensils, the lid itself, the wire basket, silicone mat, and trivet). There must be ?some? 'powerful' selling point you can share so I can, indeed, purchase it for $50?? Thanks, and if I 'do' happen to get one, I'll be looking forward to your Air Fryer attachment recipes. : )
J Jo, for those of us who do a lot of instant pot (instead of big-oven hotness in the kitchen), this is perfect for browning/broiling etc [that’s only a couple small things to clean-sometimes only one]. Makes my meals quick and hassle-free.
The company upgraded to the larger basket
The product includes the larger basket
In addition, it dehydrates
thanks for the review, Karen. There's nothing wrong with the product, but you've made me realizie I don't really need one, LOL.
If you wipe the basket with a little cooking oil on a paper towel the fries don't stick to the basket so much. One of my favorite uses is to bake Pillsbury Grands frozen biscuits. The biscuits turn out golden brown and perfectly cooked.
I'm dying to try it, thanks for showing how to do it.
Demo the dehydration mode please
Thanks for the video. I just got a CrispLid for my 6qt Mealthy Instant Pot so I appreciate the tips. Why did you add water when you cooked bacon but not when you cooked the French fries? I'm guessing it's for easier cleaning?
I really needed this video. My air fryer lid is waiting for me at the Amazon locker. I got it with a gift cert at Christmas.
I would like to buy a mitt like the one you used here. I didn’t see a link. Do you have them in your Amazon store? Oh, my granddaughter got an air fryer as a gift. It seems to take more counter space than the lid.
Karen, sure wish I could receive your recipes when you put them out, I used to and then somehow it stopped coming about a month ago. I don't know why., I haven't made any rude remarks. I love your recipes!
@@karenbellessapeterse Yes, Karen. I haven't been notified of any of your video's. I used to get them and kept up with them.
Thank you for your review. Not much of a cook myself, but would I be wrong in saying that it sure takes a long time to cook stuff in small quantities?
The product now includes the larger basket
Instant Pot has an air fryer lid of its own for the 6-quart pot! Deep basket with broiling tray.
Terri S I’m frustrated IP doesn’t have one for the 8qt IP
@@ANNtique you are not alone with that frustration... IP has one for 8 quarts but you have to buy it as a combo with the ip.
THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEW, I DIDN'T KNOW THESE EVEN EXISTED. I AM NEW TO INSTANT POT, JUST GOT MINE, I HAVE COOKED WITH IT EVERY DAY, AND EVERY THING I HAVE MADE HAS TURNED OUT GREAT. LIKE YOUR CHANNEL AND FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
i would worry about the Instapot front control panel getting ruined over time due to the the heat from the Mealthy Crisplid. The Instapot control panel is designed to withstand heat while using the Instapot only. If the Mealthy is used frequently 7 - 10 times a week I think the high heat coming down into the Instapot would mess up the front control panel. Just using the Instant Pot insert with the Mealthy appears top heavy. For the price of the Mealthy I would get a family sized airfryer instead.
Good review.
Thank You! Is it possible to use this with a couple of fish fillets? TY!
Why did you add water when you made the bacon? I thought you're not suppose to add water with the air fryer lid?
How do you clean it?
Wow very cool.
Have you ever tried doing wings? Thanks!
Why do you need water with the air fryer?
have you tried making your churro bites recipe with this lid to make them crispy?
I've had mine for a while but I have never put water in the bottom. Is that because of the grease from the bacon?
I was wondering why water? I'd imagine the bacon grease would be there for collecting and using in other recipes, no?
@@Phewy she definitely didn't need the water
Karen, just a tidbit of info. No need for oven mitts, the spatula is also used to lift the wire basket out. It's in the directions.
Does this only cook one side at a time? What if I put something like a small pizza in it? Would only the top cook and leave the bottom uncooked?
So when do you put water in the pot? only for bacon?
Good for an rv or camper
It costs 3x as much as the IP? hmmmm I wonder if it'll work on an 8qt steel dutch oven?
i have a 3q
where can i get one for me?
Great demo! Can you air fry chicken wings or thighs?
That’s great! I think l’m going to purchase it as soon as l can. Thank you Karen!
Yes ask customer service if one can roast nuts etc
In fact one can use on stove top pressure cooker
Remove the pressure cooker from stove. Let cool a few minutes must be stainless steel not aluminum
No non stick
Anyway not decide yet
I have many kitchen appliances. Including the glass turbo oven and the nuwave. (Beware the plastic version) it cracked. Kohl's exchange it.
Good idea trying to add a new feature to the instant pot, but there needs to be a way to secure the top to the instant pot. I can see someone or kid accidentally tugging/tripping on the power cord.
Seems like it would be good to have, cook just for myself. BUT the price now is not $50, but $120. Can't see it at that price.
I'm hungry
The amazon link provided is showing the lid as available from only 3rd party sellers and is listed at anywhere from $96 to almost $150 dollars. Love the lid but at those prices I can't afford it. $50 as stated in the video would have been doable. Appears to have doubled in price. Bummer.
Kinda like a NuWave over
How about a steak?
Do they make one for the 10 QT??
My understanding is that the yen quart is a slow cooker only. Check before you buy.
Ignore if you have a 3 quart pot!
Why do you need water. You are not PC
I still prefer my Fry Daddy.
I've had mine for a few months now and I love it! I did find these Parchment paper rounds to help with cleanup afterwards and they work like a charm. smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075RJJXW8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
$129 now
That price includes the instant pot. The lid by itself is the lower price. Worst case wait until Black Friday Next year, I’m sure they will be a lower price.
Oh Karen, I love stuff but this is a total waste of time and money. 10 minutes for bacon, 18 minutes for fries, not good at all. Love your IP site!
This seems dumb - at this price, I'd just buy an air fryer. Thanks for the review though.
But the air fryer calls for oil, not a lot but still. Instant lot doesn't
Maetsack, air fryer too big and bulky....they also don’t allow checking as easily without taking the food away from the heat source....the crisp lid also goes to 500 degrees and air fryers do not get that hot (if you need the heat)....so yes, definitely worth it in my kitchen....oh, yeh and the oil thing💁🏻♀️
No, I will bake my bacon. Too much work with that gadget.
I Just read the instruction book and you are NOT supposed to put water in the main pot when using the Crispy lid. It tells you in a few place to remove any liquid that may be left in the pot if you just cooked something and now want to crisp it. Water splashing up if it boils can hit the coil and you will have a fire or short it out. Please correct this. No water or liquids
Probably add 1/2 inch of water to keep the bacon grease from congealing in you pot. Makes it easier to clean. Of course you would want the grease to harden, so you can fish it out before pouring the water down the drain. I'm guessing. It would be nice if Mealthy would explain why you put water in for bacon.
The added water somehow reduces any grease splatter when cooking bacon...or so i have been told.
Keeps it from smoking and helps the cleanup of the pot
Awesome review...Cool product and I am sure I will cave in and get it ! Thanks for sharing !
thank you for the review. new product to me.
May I know why you had to add water in the instant pot and used the crisp lid? Is water needed ? Thanks !
Added water for the bacon but not for the fries or was that just skipped?
That looks really cool BUT I don't understand why this thing needs a single layer to effectively air-fry BUT my Ninja Foodi Grill does perfectly with a 2 pound bag dumped in the basket. I need to find a solution to air-fry while I'm using my Foodi Grill. Thanks for the content. Subscribed!
Never heard of this, thanks for reviewing. I would ned to get a stainless steel liner.
I noticed with the bacon you put a cup of water in the liner but didn't see you do it with the potatoes.
Was it because of the bacon grease.......?
Mary
I wish I knew about this before I bought an air fryer which is taking space.
The Thumb up is because this is a good review. However you could simply buy a Halogen Oven for a little less money. For the same reason the daft Ninja Thingy is not worth the money. You mention the even layer which has to be to cook chip (you would say fries). I have an Air Fryer which stirs as it cooks. I bought it a long time ago so my idea of cost will not be accurate but the BEST way to cook Chips has ALWAYs been the deep fryer.
Fail product.. how about cleaning that thing?!?!
WoW, all that for bacon....waist of money in my opinion and mostly time, it takes 5 min on the stove....thanks for showing us though
I microwave bacon. In fact it's healthier.
Have an old 500 watt Toshiba microwave. Still going strong.
Included many recipes
Robin Robin - Yes I make my bacon in the microwave all the time, my 20 year old GE convection/microwave still going strong.
Years ago there was a Turbo Oven and now they sell a convection countertop oven. You can cook up to a six pound turkey in one. They cost between 50-60 dollars. One can cook an entire meal and get browning. The unit in this video seems very limited in abilities and volume.
Jack JKantrowitz50 Kantrowitz, smaller...real estate is at a premium and when you already have all the other appliances, this is perfect for multi-use....plus this goes to 500, higher than other air fryers.🤷🏻♀️
Now that's an overpriced gadget that nobody needs.
I have a instant pot 8 quart Duo Nova will the air fryer lid fit?
There's easier and quicker ways to cook these foods.
The square and triangle on its side I believe is the "stop" and "play"=begin, symbols. Great video, thanks.
It's going to take you three minutes to fry tons of potatoes in hot oil deep fryer. The only hint is, you will not eat it too often.
It also fits both 6 and 8 qt. IPs. Quite handy if you own both sizes as I do.
It might be healthier to cook small batches this way, but is it energy efficient?
Can you use different baskets with it?
I did not know you needed to put water in the bottom.
How does air fry chicken work with it?
Mine came in and I cooked a veggie burger and french fries same time. Then toasted my bun. I used ghee on my potatoes. 👍 Its a keeper. I did this in the 6qrt. I think the results will be better in the 8qrt because of air flow.
Holy smokes!
Super Info thanx
You used water in the pot when cooking the bacon but none when cooking the French fries. What determines when you use water and when you don't?
I'm thinking the water mainly keeps the bacon greese from smoking and helps the cleanup of the pot.
I read somewhere that if you use this lid it makes your warranty null and void ! Is this true ?
@@karenbellessapeterse Why would using the lid void its warranty? Are you supposed to just leave it unopened in the original box and use something else to cook with ? What might that something else be ?
DId you have water in the IP when you made the fries? I have one and I dont remember using water with it. I will have to check my instructions I do love it.
@@karenbellessapeterse read the instruction book and the recipe book that comes with it. Not water in any recipe and no water in the pot
The website has the bacon with water recipe.
mealthy.com/recipes/2293/crisplid-bacon
The water probably keeps the bacon greese from smoking and helps the cleanup of the pot.
Instead of moving things around to fit in the view of the video, why not just raise it up about a foot to get the entire counter in the shot??? There's no need to have such a narrow view of everything.
Can it fry an egg?
