Powerful!
This Instant Pot is a game-changer! It’s basically a kitchen appliance in itself. I love that it does everything from pressure cooking to air frying, and the results are always amazing. The recipes in the app are easy to follow and delicious. It’s definitely a splurge, but worth every penny if you love to cook.

Glad I bought it.
I decided to cheap out and bought one of these from the Amazon Warehouse. There are pros and cons to this which I will discuss at the bottom of this review.This is a great piece of cookware, that is capable of many cooking techniques. I am happy with my purchase and would buy it again. It is relatively easy to program but you have to remember to press the Start button. (Something I forgot to do a few times.)Saute – seems a little slow to get up to full temperature compared to stove top cooking, but it get there. The indicator is helpful to give you some idea of the current temp.Pressure – works well. Lid is easy to place. One feature that seems small, but I REALLY love is the little “lid” on the top that you can remove to open a spot to place ice. This feature is wonderful as it allows you to quickly cool the pressure cooker and eliminate the need to do a pressure release and blow steam all over your kitchen. In practice, I have found that a handful if ice will drop the pressure in under 3 minutes.Air Fry – this is a really nice feature to “finish” roasts. Pretty much a must have feature. It falls a little short in browning french fries, as you have to open the lid and shake the air fry basket to ensure even cooking. However, this is also true of most air fryers unless they have a tumble basket.Sous Vide – tried this several times with excellent results. The temperature control is not as exact as you could expect with a circulating type of Sous Vide appliance, but it gets the job done. You may have to experiment a bit to get the ideal temperature setting.Other settings? – haven’t tried them yet, so no comment.Caution when Buying from Amazon Warehouse (AzW):I had to return the first unit that I bought as the front control panel was dented. It seems that the AzW workers will repackage these units in a box lined with plastic bags filled with spray foam. In theory this should provide excellent protection from dings and dents, however this Instant Pot is sensitive to crushing forces. The outer shell is essentially a thin metal band. My first unit was packed on its side. Something must have been placed on that box in shipping which crushed the faceplate.The replacement unit I ordered was boxed upright. It arrived with the outer metal band pressed down into the base by a quarter inch or so. I was able to gently pry it back into position and the unit has worked perfectly since. In any event these warehouse purchases do not have the same warranty, so factor that into your purchase decision. I was able to save about $70. Not sure if it was worth it.

All the functions it has gets rid of a lot of other appliances, large size. Amazing unit.

For a long time I was against these gimmicky air fryers, because “why just not use the oven”? And sure you can, it will do pretty much the same thing, BUT…an air fryer is SO MUCH easier to cook with! It heats up in no time (as opposed to a giant oven), and food cooks quicker in it too, likely because of its smaller size compared to an oven. I consider myself an Instant Pot “pro”, and already had 2 in my kitchen, the Duo 6qt and 8qt…and finally decided to get this Pro Crisp and replace my existing 8qt Duo with it. Smart decision as this Pro Crisp gives me a new type of kitchen appliance without sacrificing any more counter space!I like the new pot with handles, much easier to take it out after cooking. It cleans very easily too. Just pour some water in it and clean it right away, or let the water sit and clean it later – don’t let the food weld itself into the pot!It comes with an additional inner pot for air frying, but I never use it…don’t see the point. All it does is reduce the internal volume of the main pot and it’s one more extra thing to clean. Instead I use a steam basket…or simply throw food right in the main pot. However, if you throw it straight in the pot, it will fry in its own juices and won’t come out as crispy (but will come out more juicy)..which might not be a bad thing, it really depends on what you’re going for. I enjoy doing it both ways.The new pressure cooking release valve is A LOT quieter than the one on the Duo. It doesn’t shoot up into the air like a raging locomotive anymore. That’s nice if you cook late at night and don’t want to wake anyone up in the house.Yes, you do need to mix food for more even frying, but you do that usually just once. Ideally, you don’t want to overload it with so much food that it stacks on top of itself. You can still do, but might need to mix it an extra time.It can also dehydrate, but I don’t care for this as I already have a dedicated, proper dehydrator. Keep in mind that when you dehydrate, you absolutely can’t stack food on top of itself, or else it will never fully dehydrate. With the Pro Crisp you can only dehydrate a tiny amount as you only get a single tray to lay your food on.This air fryer looks beautiful and modern. It’s seems to be the same size as the Duo 8qt, except that it’s quite a bit taller with the air fryer lid.It’s very easy to use, I just really wish they would have the 3 different time adjustments for each program, as they do on the Instant Pot Duo. If I’m pressure cooking beans, the time will depend on the type of bean it is. With this I need to constantly set the time manually, where with my Instant Pot Duo I can just cycle through 3 preset times I have set. I don’t feel it’s big enough of a problem to take down a star overall, but something to be aware of.Once you buy it, you will be experimenting a ton with all your regular meals. In the picture I have pressure cooked quinoa (in the 6qt Duo) and air fried (separately) mushrooms and tofu, topped with some greens. Barely use the stove/oven anymore. Even microwave sees less action as you can easily reheat food in the air fryer AND fry something fresh at the same time!
