Can an Instant Pot that’s added air frying to its list of cooking methods replace an air fryer for making fries?
There are plenty of kitchen gadgets that can make life easier in the kitchen – the best air fryers not only produce crisp fries and chicken wings, they’re also healthier too, as they use far less oil than deep frying. For wider cooking though, it’s all about the best Instant Pots. They offer a multitude of cooking methods in one device; from slow cooking stews, soups and chillies, to pressure cooking everything from meat on the bone to vegetables, these multi-cookers can speed up creating different types of dishes ensuring you won’t get bored of the same meal every night. As Instant Pot was the first brand to launch a multi-cooker, it unsurprisingly dominates our list of the best multi-cookers, but the brand also produces some of the best air fryers on the market as well. So we were excited to get our hands on the Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer – a multi-cooker that adds air frying to its exhaustive list of cooking methods. Does this finally mean we could retire our air fryer and save even more space on our kitchen countertop? Unfortunately not. Here’s what happened when we attempted to make fries in an Instant Pot and compared them to fries cooked in our top air fryer, the Instant Vortex Plus. Read on to discover what happened when we made fries in an Instant Pot – or, if you’ve already decided you want to buy one of these kitchen appliances, check out the best prices right now: To ensure we could really compare the fries made in both kitchen appliances, we made sure we followed the same recipe from Instant Pot’s website ( Vortex Plus Skinny Fries if we’ve made your mouth water and now all you can think about is crisp fries).
