Product Information

On both models, the saute function allows you to pre-cook ingredients as needed for a recipe without pulling out a separate plan. And the warm function keeps your food hot after the cooking process is done. The Ninja Foodi 14-in-1 8-qt XL Multi Cooker cooks everything under one lid.This lid simply slides across to switch cooking mode, but you'll still have to make use of the pressure valve. Adjust temperature and time using the controls to the right and left of the main cooking panel. For how much it can cook, it's very straightforward to use. There are 14 cooking modes: Pressure Cook, Steam & Crisp, Steam & Bake, Air Fry, Broil, Bake/Roast, Dehydrate, Sear/Sauté, Steam, Sous Vide, Slow Cook, Yogurt, Keep Warm & Proof. That's right, proof — you can even proof and bake a loaf of bread in one cooking pot.

There are 11 smart programs included in each of the Instant Pot + Air Fryer models with 6 being “wet” cooking methods and 5 being air fryer related. The same set of programs are available in both of these models. These models have fewer “wet” cooking programs than the other Instant Pot models.In fact, the best multicooker can replace appliances like rice cookers, pressure cookers, slow cookers, and even air fryers so you only need one appliance that can do it all.

The Ninja Foodi 11-in-1 6.5 Qt Pro can air fry, slow cook, pressure cook, roast, bake, and a lot more. It's one of our favorite multi-cookers, and while it's not an Instant Pot, it is the best alternative to an Instant Pot you can buy. You’ll notice neither of these models is considered a yogurt maker or rice cooker because they don’t have the associated pre-programmed buttons. You can still make yogurt and rice in the Instant Pots. Look for a recipe that uses the pressure cook or other available buttons for these dishes instead. The Instant Pot Pro Crisp + Air Fryer is one of the electric pressure cooker models made by Instant Brands. They call it their “Instant Pot that air fries” model because it combines their pressure cooking features with an air fryer. The latest version of this pressure cooker + air fryer takes a few things from the Duo Evo Plus including the inner line design pressure cooking lid, and dial-based front panel. As of 2020, there are 12 Instant Pot models. The Duo and Duo Nova are two of the models currently available. There is also the Lux, Duo Plus, Ultra, Smart, Duo Crisp + Air Fryer, Pro Crisp + Air Fryer, Duo Evo Plus, Max, Viva, and Duo Gourmet. Instant and Ninja offer a large range of multi-cookers and some are more basic than others so we’ll focus again on the Instant Pot Duo Crisp and the Ninja Foodi 11-in-1 Pro Pressure Cooker. We’ve listed the features each has below.The major differences between the models include the inner lines, pressure cooker lid, extra temperature settings, and base prices. The other thing to note is the Duo Crisp is available in 2 sizes while the Pro Crisp is available in one size currently With the Duo Crisp, the button release is a little more difficult to do a controlled release of pressure. So the upgrade in the Pro Crisp is helpful. Duo Crisp 8 quart is a little taller and lighter It's not the cheapest option, but it is comparable in price to some Instant Pots that come without air fryer attachments. The cooker is also available in a variety of sizes.

Looking at the air fry lid smart programs side by side, you’ll notice the maximum temperature for the Pro Crisp has increased to 450 F. The Duo Crisp’s top temperature is 400 F. The handles on the new liner design really do make it easier to remove a hot pot from the base. Pro Crisp has the gentle steam release Our expert tester Helen says 'if you want a top-notch multi-cooker that can do it all, this is the best one you can get from Instant'. That's because this Instant Pot improves on other models by only using a single lid, halving the amount of space you need for storage.

Some models and versions within a series are exclusive to certain stores. For example, the Duo Gourmet is exclusive to Costco. And the Star Wars-branded series was exclusive to Williams Sonoma when it was released. What other questions do you have about the differences between the Instant Pot Pro Crisp vs Duo Crisp? And what’s interesting about the Instant Pot Pressure Cookers + Air Fryers is it gives you two completely different types of cooking in one kitchen appliance. To do this, the Instant Pot comes with two different lids, one for each cooking method. Typically when making an Instant Pot comparison, it also includes a side-by-side view of the kitchen appliances included in each mode. Combining multiple kitchen appliances into one saves counter and storage space. You also save money by using one appliance for multiple cooking methods. Both the Instant Pot and the Ninja Foodi offer the same functions with the exception of yogurt making and dehydrating. So, what else sets these appliances apart? Price will obviously be a key deciding factor for many and the Ninja Foodi model is more expensive, but aside from that, the capacity each cooker offers will also be worth keeping in mind. Instant Brands calls it an 11-in-1 Instant Pot because it has 11 smart programs. It replaces multiple kitchen appliances while also increasing the speed at which you can cook your meals.
