The Instant Pot Pro Crisp 11-in-1 is a fantastic all-in-one appliance that has truly elevated my cooking experience. It combines the functionality of a pressure cooker, air fryer, and more into one sleek device, saving me counter space and effort. The pressure cooking is fast and reliable, delivering tender meats and perfectly cooked grains every time. The air fryer function is equally impressive, creating crispy and golden results without excessive oil. I especially love how easy it is to switch between the two functions with the interchangeable lids. Cleaning is a breeze, thanks to the non-stick and dishwasher-safe parts. The intuitive control panel and customizable settings make it user-friendly, even for beginners. This device has replaced several appliances in my kitchen and has quickly become a staple for everyday cooking. I highly recommend the Instant Pot Pro Crisp 11-in-1 to anyone looking for versatility, efficiency, and excellent cooking results! Read more

This is actually my second time owning this unit. I had it in 2022, but I replaced it at the very end of 2022 when I was given the ninja foodie OL 701 as a gift. The ninja foodie actually ended up going out on me in February of this year, I got another one, and that one went out less than two months later. Ninja is no longer selling it so I was like well, let’s get the instant pot version of this combo unit. It was called the ultimate lid or something. It was total garbage. I absolutely hated it. I used it for like a day. I went back to this one, and honestly, I don’t even know why I ever got rid of it in the first place. This thing is fantastic. It has tons of accessories it comes with, the handles on the pot itself truly set it apart, and it works brilliantly. I get that It’s a few years old, but it really is one of their absolute best that they have made. I highly recommend this instant pot - the air fryer works great, the pressure cooking is fast and works great, the little included broiler tray works really well, the steam rack is awesome. All in all, you cannot go wrong with this one. Definitely pick it up. You will love it. The only thing I will say that is unfortunate is that the air fryer lid is detachable and you have to have some kind of space in a cabinet or something to store it. Luckily I have enough cabinet space I was able to make it work, but that is the only thing I will call out is that the air fryer lid is very large. I even bought the slow cooker lid for it because I use it as a slow cooker a lot as well. All in all, if that doesn’t bother you, this is a 10 out of 10. Read more

Instant pot never disappoints. The "Sous Vide" function is pure genius even for an enthusiastic home cook (good taste -low budget). This is go to for every day meals. I hardly use anything else. Read more

Overall, I'm happy with this item. Took one star off because it seems heavier than other multicookers I have purchased and it's pretty bulky. Having said that, it is very versatile and does a great job. Pot roast was a breeze and done so quickly. It is easy to clean and comes with a separate fry basket and fry lid. Can't wait to use for a fish fry. Accompanying instructions are easy to follow. Definitely a great way to make meals easier and fast. Read more

Pretty cool and works well but a little expensive for an Instant Pot. It's probably better to get an air fryer separate but I wanted something we could take on the road. This works well. We can cook and air fry in a regular hotel room while on road trips. Read more

This was purchased as an upgrade from the 6qt Duo model. TOTALLY worth it and I've only used a single mode on each lid (Pressure Cook and Air Fry) so far. I didn't use other modes on the 6qt either including the pre-programmed settings. This is pretty much apples to apples comparison. Overall a complete win and would recommend it to others. Benefits: 1. Handles on the inner pot. This keeps the pot from spinning during saute mode and makes it easier and safer to remove the pot when it's full of food. I can do this even after a wrist injury. 2. Flat bottom on the pot. Makes any added oils spread evenly instead of running to the edge and enables #3 below. 3. Pot is stove-top safe. Even more versatility! I tried this today and the handles did get a bit too warm to touch from the gas heat flowing up the sides of the pot, but it enabled me to quickly control the temperature and still pressure cook the results in the same pot. 4. Air Fryer : I've not had an air fryer before and this definitely works well. The AirFry lid is simple to put on and take off, and doesn't require it's own cord. Results have been excellent for the chicken nuggets, fries and frozen battered fish I've tried. All in less time than the standard oven method 5. Replaced a 6qt slow cooker. I'm betting on this one a bit. My slow cooker use in the past years has primarily been to keep chili warm. Most recently, I used the 6qt duo since it travels more safely to the party/pot luck location with the pressure lid locked on. Now the Air Fry lid is stored where the slow cooker resided. And yes, the Duo also could do this, but I'd not done it based on the slow cooker function testing/reviews as not getting hot enough. The Pro test/reviews were better for slow cooking function. 6. It's a 2qt larger capacity while not that much bigger of a footprint. Yes it's bigger, but it's not as much larger than the 6 qt than I thought it may be. The Saute surface is larger by 2 chicken thighs from 4 to 6 (crowded). 7. Pressure lid doesn't build up water spots. The Duo lid has areas on top where the metal is exposed. That started getting calcium deposits around the edge starting after the 2nd washing and air drying. The 8qt pro is completely covered in plastic with a removable door over a cooling area. It's not built up the water deposits after ~20 uses even in there because it's curved. 8. The base lid lip is easier to clean: The area where the lid seals onto the base is wider on the Pro version making it easier to get a cloth and finger in there to clean the splatters from sauteing. 9. The drip catcher is easier to remove. The clear plastic cup under to back ledge that catches fluids from the lip is a drawer on the Pro. This is much easier to remove and insert than the squeeze and clip version on the Duo. 10. Auto Sealing/pressure switch: The lid automatically seals when it's turned so you don't end up wondering why the pressure hasn't built up after you forgot to turn the weight from the vent position. 11. Steam Diffusion and easy venting: The switch to vent is away from the steam so no risk of burns, but also doesn't complicate cleaning. And the the steam diffuser cap (which is called whisper quiet) contains any spitting of starches while is removable for cleaning. 12. The AirFry lid storage tray attaches and also works as a trivet while using it. 13. There are lines on the front of the Pro and pressure lid indicating the starting position for attaching it. No more fumbling to get the lid lined up. 14. Improved cord management: The cord isn't removable. This makes the connection to the base more streamlined allowing it to get closer to a wall. To compensate, there is a slot to hold the wrapped cord when it's not plugged in. It's also not at risk of getting lost. Suggested improvements: 1. The inside surface of the stainless pressure pot isn't as polished as the 6qt duo pot so it's a bit tougher to get fully clean. We use it to make rice and also saute chicken without oil as a step in broth making (then deglaze). Both of these stick to the pot a bit and require scrubbing. The new pot is less polished so it needs a cleanser step nearly every time to get all the bits off even after soaking. The 6qt pot didn't need this and the only thing that we can perceive as different is the pot internal texture. 2. The air fry pot also doesn't get fully clean with hand scrubbing. Seems to always take more than one hand wash cycle. It may be the texture or color or both, but inevitably, the thing still looks greasy after it's dried. We've not put it in the dishwasher which might do better. 3. The bottom ring for the air fry multipot arrived with a tab broke off so it doesn't stay attached to the pot. Customer service has responded in a timely manner (not yet finished the resolution). I mention it because it may be a weakness in the design. 4. The air fry lid and storage tray is always a challenge to line up for joining. If there's an indication like the pressure lid to base, I've not found it. 5. No pot lid accessory available for the 8qt pot which is sad since the pot can be used on the stovetop. This would make the item even more versatile. I never wanted one for the Duo. Read more
