HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Instant Pot Duo Crisp® is a pressure cooker

and air fryer in one. Its 11-in-1 functionality does

everything a regular Instant Pot® does, but

swapping out the pressure cooking lid for the air

fryer lid adds five new programs: air fry, bake,

broil, roast, and dehydrate. Instead of submerging

food in oil, tossor coat it with a small amount of

oil (see page 14 for recommendations) to create

crispy, golden brown dishes such as French

fries,chicken wings, buttermilk fried chicken, fish

tacos, doughnuts, and churros. The machine also

cooks a variety of foods that are not typically

fried but benefit from high heat and rapid air

circulation, such as ribs, marinated steak, corn

on the cob, brussels sprouts, pork chops, and

fish. The stand-alone Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid®

transforms your regular 6-quart (6-L) Instant

Pot® into a powerful air fryer with the same

functionality of the Duo Crisp. Both the Duo Crisp

and the Air Fryer Lid can be used to create the

recipes in this book.

When pressure cooking, the tightly sealed pot

boils liquid quickly, then traps the steam and

generates pressure. With this method, heat is

evenly, deeply, and quickly distributed. The Duo

Crisp features two pressure levels: Lo is best for

fish, seafood, eggs, and soft vegetables, while Hi

is most effective for meat, poultry, root and other

hard vegetables, grains, beans, oats, chili, stock,

and broth.

Like pressure cooking, air frying helps you save

time and cook healthy meals—without using a

lot of energy or heating up your kitchen.The air

fryer lid relies on the Instant Pot® proprietary

EvenCrisp technology to produce tender, juicy

dishes with a crisp, golden finish with little or no

oil. It relies on very hot, fast-blowing air to cook

and crisp food, similar to the way a convection

oven works. You can use it to cook food from

fresh or frozen, or to crisp up a dish after it’s

been cooked on a pressure-cooking setting.

Compared to a full-size oven, the Air Fryer Lid

is also a fast, easy, and energy-efficient way to

reheat and recrisp leftovers.

PARTS & ACCESSORIES

The Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid® attaches to your

existing Instant Pot® and is compatible with the

following models: Duo 60, Duo Plus 60, Ultra 60,

Viva 60, Nova Plus 60, and Duo Nova 60. Each

model has slightly different features, with more

than a dozen distinct cooking programs from

which to choose, depending on the model. Using

the pressure cooking lid, you can sauté, sear,

steam, simmer, slow cook, pressure cook, and

braise in the machine, while the air fryer lid lets

you air fry, broil, bake, roast, and dehydrate. Only

use the air fryer lid with stainless-steel inner pots,

not ceramic inner pots.

Pressure Cooking Lid: Allows you to sauté, pressure

cook, slow cook, steam, sous vide, delay start, and

keep food warm. These programs do not air fry.
