Yes they do. I don't think it fits onto the larger 8 quart though. Maybe I am wrong though. Also I was wondering how it compares to an air fryer, because the air fryer has special channels that allow the air to go in through the sides and up from underneath.
@@Simnettnutrition you’re right. Unfortunately, they do not make the air fryer lid for the 8 qt. one. I think there is actually some kind of technical reason for that, but I forgot what it is. I may contact the Instant Pot folks to ask.
I'm an air fryer fan all the way. I've put literally every vegetable I eat in the air fryer and they roast in 10 minutes instead of the 30-45 in the oven. Brussels, asparagus, cauliflower, squash, zuchinni, broccoli, green beans, chickpeas, beans, anything. I'll put tofu, broccoli, and potatoes all in together at varying intervals and you get a whole meal in
@@mony3264 I put it all together but at different times. 400 degrees for 12-15 min. Potatoes first for 3-4 min, then add tofu, and then only do the broccoli the last 3-4 min. No oil necessary.
Lookup 'good vibes' in the dictionary. it's a picture of these 2 great content Derek and Crystal and way to rep chill, healthy, quality living, 0 ego, just lifting each other (and us) up every time. Thanks from Kentucky
Heads up for anyone looking to buy an air fryer - get a square shaped one! You get more surface area for the same space the circular ones take up on the counter. Also mine cooks potatoes WAY faster than Derek’s. Like half the time. So look at different models and their power. I have the instant vortex and it’s awesome.
"It sings you a little song" - I love this channel! The mini-in-between comments always make me laugh and smile! Thank you & Crystal for being a positive source of inspiration and help for living a healthier life!
@@Simnettnutrition you didn't answer my 2 biggest questions. Does it heat up the house less than using the oven? Because 40 mind for wedges is about what a regular oven would require. Also does it really get things crispier than an oven? Because those are the only reasons I would invest in one. Oh yea..and how loud is it?
I have both and I love them! The instant pot makes cooking super convenient and the air fryer helps reduce oil intake🙏 Thanks for the great video Derek!
Everything I've cooked in this unit has come out great ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB ! Everything tastes so good. Some of the recipes I've changed a little to improve the taste. For instance, for french fries which call for no oil, I spray them with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. They come out great! It makes the best toast I have ever eaten. The recipe I use calls for lightly buttering both sides of the bread. It calls for cooking at 400 degrees for 5 minutes on one side and then 2 minutes on the other side. This time has a lot to do with the kind of bread you are using...so keep an eye on it. Also, the fans in this Ninja are a lot stronger than other air fryers. So lay a metal spoon or something on the bread to keep it from flying around. It's a little extra work to use your Ninja as a toaster but it is worth it!
We have a rice cooker…it's kind of like your insta-pot, but without the steam. Just throw in the ingredients for a lentil stew or curry and it's ready in around an hour. It also keeps it warm, so you can make it on the morning and then eat it at lunch. It's so easy that we usually have at least one meal a day like this.
We’ve had our instant pot last couple years and it’s been used A LOT. Just got an air fryer, I wasn’t excited but wife and kids were. Did potatoes and I was stoked. Both good to have.
Apparently you can get the Instant Pot with an air fryer lid now. Could be worth looking into. I have both but kind of wish I had gone with a hybrid instead.
@@shazeedalindemann2337 You may need to experiment with your particular model, but I start mine at around 250 for 10 minutes then add time if needed, depending on how full the basket is. Also depends on how crispy you like them. Great with a little bit of salt and nutritional yeast (with a tablespoon of olive oil). I've also dressed them with a little cashew cream and herbs before they go in. The latter approaches some of the store bought varieties. So good.
I love when Crystal is in the videos! I have both the air fryer and the pressure cooker. The air fryer gets used more frequently because you don't have to wait for it to do its job like the pressure cooker. It's also good for warming up leftovers, and depending on what you cook in it, you don't have to clean it after every use, especially if you're not using oil. I do kind of wish I had went with one of those hybrid machines.
YA'LL ARE THE BEST! This is such a sweet and thoughtful video. I have a rice cooker that also steams veggies. It takes up so much space and doesn't create one-pot meals so I've been thinking of getting an instant pot for the same reasons ya'll mention. I'd rather have an instant pot take-up space.
Instant pot for me all the way! I've tried air fryer, its nice but for me the instant pot is a lot more practical, exactly like you said. Much love for you guys as always ❤
I have 4 instant pots and 1 air fryer. It's safe to say I would definitely keep the instant pot. You can basically cool anything in the IP, which I do on many occasions. Thanks for the videos! Love ya both!
I use both almost exclusively. Now, having seen the pre cut parchment circles, I need to find some of those! I have the same air fryer as you. Thanks to both of you! Take care!
Only had my instant pot for a few weeks and I'm totally loving it! It's never in the cupboard, I steam potatoes whole so they can be used for wedges or roasties. I cook beans, lentils, rice, soup, stews the list is endless. Just recently purchased the air fryer not used it yet but looking forward to making the wedges. Thank you for the video, the curry is on my list it looks yummy
My kitchen doesn’t have a stove or oven so I use my instant pot and air fryer exclusively and honestly I don’t even mind it. My air fryer has totally replaced an oven for me. I can make brownies, cookies, banana bread, etc. Everything cooks in half the time compared to an oven which is magical lol. The instant pot cooks all my beans and lentils, rice, soups, etc. And I use the sauté setting for stir fries and stuff.
for the air fry potatoes, you gotta try a Lebanese spice/herb mix called Za'atar! I think the distinctive components are thyme and sumac, a lemony spice (or herb; not really sure what it is). I rarely use anything else when I roast/air fry veggies.
I have air fryer,but will bay the instant pot too:) Long time I try to make vegetable soft and crispy,and You sed some good ideas and tips!! Thanks You!! For vegetables I found ,that I stem (include potatoes) in water +soda for 5-6 minutes,and than put it in air fryer,it come more soft inside and crispy outsides. My basic I slow juicer and bender ,but in winter time (live in Latvia) use more warm vegetables
I agree, I’d keep the instant pot over the air fryer just because I use it so much more and much of what you can do in the air fryer you can also do in the oven. I use the IP for whole baked potatoes, both kinds, one or twice a week, as well as for beans and one pot meals. As always, love and hugs to you both!
I have found to get the crispiest oil free air fryer potatoes I steam them in the Instant Pot first then put in the fridge for at least a few hours. Then I slice them into wedges and season and they cook in the Instant Pot in about 15 to 20 minutes total and get super crispy! Plus then I can prepare a bunch at the start of the week and eat them throughout in only 20 minutes. ☺️ Also I agree with you, the Instant Pot wins for me. I use it for rice, potatoes, soups, beans, everything!! But the air fryer is so fun. I have the same one as you and love it!
Thanks man. I'm going to get an instapot. Always amazing seeing Crystal in the videos. I do frozen shoestring fries at 200C for 18-20 minutes (no oil necessary) and they are banging!
Great vid guys thanks a lot!! What’s difficult is that the instant pot saves time but you can do most of the functions if you have a stove top/normal kitchen, where as the air fryer is more of a gadget in the sense that it does something that nothing else does.. so tough to choose, both are on my list but deffo the instant pot first! I borrowed a pressure cooker for the weekend and it changes everything to cook beans so fast
This is what I'm thinking. Seems I can cook the same meals in my crockpot that I can in an Instant Pot, albeit slower. Looks like I'm getting an Air Fryer.
You need to get a Ninja Foodi guys! It has so many settings ( pressure cook, air fry, slow cooker, sear/saute, bake/roast, broil, dehydrate!) It's very cool! one of my best purchases!
My Mum used to swear by the Pressure Cooker she had. She used it for meal prep for us as kids and generally as we grew up. I had a pressure cooker and now have an Instant Pot/Crock Pot and use it a lot. I mainly used it for fast cooking dried beans but will do a lot of other large meal preps in it and then freeze them. Well worth the investment. Haven't personally needed a dry frier and I don't really miss fried foods anyway.
Love my instant pot for batch cooking all types of starches and stocks. Makes meal preparation so much easier. I also like the dump and go recipes. I will be getting an air fryer for doing quick and seasoned veggies, tofu, and chickpeas. These 2 appliances make being vegan so much more sustainable. Thanks for the great video. ❤ from Vancouver. 😊
Thanks for the IP recipe! I don't have a conventional stove, so I opted for an IP to complement my two induction hot plates. I chose a toaster oven that has an airfrying setting, and I like airfrying wedges when I have left over steamed potatoes from the IP. It's a nice way to add variety. :)
We love our instant pot......and got it after seeing it used so much for recipes. I still want to get an air fryer....but haven't done it yet. Crispy tofu always looks so good! We don't have a ton of storage space, but it is going to happen!
As random active vegan mom of 2 kids and 2 dogs I love love LOVE the instant pot! I really want an air fryer but we dont really have the space and it doesnt seem like it would be big enough to make servings for a family of 4 hungry people... I still use your no oil oven baked potato wedge recipe!!
I'm definitely trying that curry tonight! I love the interaction between the two of you, so much fun. Can you give us the recipe for that crispy tofu, it looks amazing
Thank you for this video Derek and Crystal! I have definitely thought about getting both at some point,but now you cleared things up for me. I should get the instant pot once my budget allows. It seems like a gamechanger,not having to soak anything beforehand or boiling my legumes for 2 hours before they are soft enough. Or having to always be near the pan to not overflow while boiling. And i can boil soybeans so quickly to make my tempeh. Plus,it is way quicker and more economical! Now i want more instant pot recipes and ideas!
I am sold onto insta pot already. I had to make a choice between buying one or the other, your video helped me bigtime 🙏. PS: Call me a tree hugger but loved how you didn't use paper towel to dry the potatoes 10:41.
yes!! i dont have to buy canned chickpeas anymore. More sustainable that way coz now i dont have to go out to recycle the cans anymore. Now, i need to find a recipe for baked beans for the Instant Pot.
I have the instapot with air fryer ..... all in one. Its amazing ... all you do is to switch out the lid. I got mine on Amazon on at a special price of $200. Saves counter space too.
I have both and I love them !!!!!!! When I just want to steam veggies then I set the pressure time for 0 minutes because the heat up time will it alright :) I like to cut potatoes in thin chips and coat them with salt, paprika powder and onion powder - makes them taste like onion rings. Sometimes I like to make a "fishy" stew with zucchini, aubergine, nori sheets, tomato sauce and herbs ... omg, that was sooo good. IF I had to keep one, then the Instant Pot, George. I would not want to give him away. My airfryer (named her Eve, because her shape looks like Eve in Wall-E). I already baked bread and dough balls in the airfryer and I made lasagne in the instant pot with a spring tin !!
I agree that the InstantPot is excellent. I never knew you could soak the raw potatoes in cold water and get that change in the resistant starches for a better crisp. Chef AJ always swears by cooking them whole in her InstantPot, then sticking them in the fridge overnight. I’ll have to try your method. I really like when Crystal is in your videos, too. Keep up the great videos, guys! And, thanks for the delicious recipe!✨👏🤩🌸
you guys are awesome! thanks for the helpful, funny videos. you always put a smile on my face :) I have an instant pot and use at least once a week! best purchase ever. love making dried beans in there too - so cheap and easy!!
I think Crystal is just about the most beautiful woman in the world. Her joyful, gracious spirit shines thru her physical beauty.....from one woman to another. Now I'll finish your vid.
Another great advantage of the InstaPot is it does not heat up your kitchen like cooking in a conventional oven. If you live in a warm climate this is a big plus in the summer months! The IP also uses a lot less energy as compared to a larger oven.
We have both and I use the instant pot much more often, especially since I like to cook with dried beans and brown rice. Sometimes I wish I had 2! We just recently got an air fryer/toaster/countertop convection oven combination. We don't air fry THAT often so getting the appliance with multiple features to make it more useful was definitely the way to go (plus our old toaster had just died).
I own and love them both, but the Instant Pot makes so much food, so it would have to be my choice. I love making beans, potatoes, and chilli in mine. I wish I would have ordered the air fryer that has multiple racks so we cook more at one time. Love this video and when you guys do videos together. 🤗
I like my InstantPot/AirFryer Combo! Yes, a great thing! I have two more regular InstantPots also! I use the stovetop for tortillas and oatmeal...and hardly ever use the oven now.
Yes! The two of you make the funniest videos... her laugh and Dereks sense of humour makes me wanna click and watch! What about more on the Amazing Food series you made? Ok, you cannot travel or visit, but theorethical ones? Anyway, i gotta contemplate an airfryer purchase now...
Great video! I would love to have both of these, but my kitchen is simply way too small. Maybe one day haha. It was nice to see Crystal making an appearance, the color red suits her so well!
Always great to see you too together in the vids :) I have 2 instant pots (6 and 8 quart) and they are fantastic! I never did get into the air fryer game tho, but maybe I will in the future! Those wedges and crispy tofu sound delicious! :) Sending love from Quebec!
I just recently got an air fryer and it is a Vortex 10 quart made by the Instant Pot people. It has a rotating basket that slowly spins my potatoes so that they're evenly cooked. I got it really cheap from Amazon as a 'Used -- acceptable" item for $83.30 and it was perfect except for the box it came in. So last week I went looking for a real instant pot but ended up getting a real stovetop pressure cooker instead! I'm glad I did because I really don't have any counter space left for another appliance. It is a 5.5 liter Prestige Svachh and sells for $77.99 but I played the "Used -- Acceptable" game again and it arrived in perfect condition except for the box and I only paid $34.65. It is heavy stainless steel. I've already made beans and brown rice. I can do anything an Instant Pot can do with it.
Instant Pot has a model with an Air Fryer lid. It's amazing.
Yes they do. I don't think it fits onto the larger 8 quart though. Maybe I am wrong though. Also I was wondering how it compares to an air fryer, because the air fryer has special channels that allow the air to go in through the sides and up from underneath.

hi do you put them in together or separately and do you put anything on them as i'm trying to avoid oil

Great idea! Thank you!

Nice! If you have the cupboard space it really is nice to have.
@@Simnettnutrition How could I cook this low carb.? Maybe green peas, cauliflower?
look into the instant pot duo crisp... has an 8qt pot and lid. That's how I got both in one gadget.

Instant pot all the way. Makes great oatmeal too! Use mine almost every day. Thank you for another fun video
Hey you awesome guys! We’re yet to use/get an instant pot so I’ll watch this with interest. Thanks 🙏
Oh Hench you need to get into it man! Especially with the amount you must eat!
Worth every cent and every inch of counter space. Even if all you make is beans, rice, and soup, it will get a work out.
I love Crystal! I giggle alot too. So she makes me smile lol
I have both and I love them!

Plus,it is way quicker and more economical!
Now i want more instant pot recipes and ideas!
I am sold onto insta pot already. I had to make a choice between buying one or the other, your video helped me bigtime 🙏.
PS: Call me a tree hugger but loved how you didn't use paper towel to dry the potatoes 10:41.
I JUST finished making a red Thai coconut curry and am eating as I am watching. Cool to see these two items in action!
The instant pot is essential for making the creamiest, dreamiest chickpeas imo 🤤
yes!! i dont have to buy canned chickpeas anymore. More sustainable that way coz now i dont have to go out to recycle the cans anymore. Now, i need to find a recipe for baked beans for the Instant Pot.
I have the instapot with air fryer ..... all in one. Its amazing ... all you do is to switch out the lid. I got mine on Amazon on at a special price of $200. Saves counter space too.
I bought an Instant Pot with an Air Fryer attachment. Best of both worlds!
I have both and I love them !!!!!!! When I just want to steam veggies then I set the pressure time for 0 minutes because the heat up time will it alright :) I like to cut potatoes in thin chips and coat them with salt, paprika powder and onion powder - makes them taste like onion rings.
Sometimes I like to make a "fishy" stew with zucchini, aubergine, nori sheets, tomato sauce and herbs ... omg, that was sooo good. IF I had to keep one, then the Instant Pot, George. I would not want to give him away. My airfryer (named her Eve, because her shape looks like Eve in Wall-E). I already baked bread and dough balls in the airfryer and I made lasagne in the instant pot with a spring tin !!
I love them both.
Watching both of you together is tons of fun. I would choose insta pot.
Thanks, Guys! Love you two!
I agree that the InstantPot is excellent. I never knew you could soak the raw potatoes in cold water and get that change in the resistant starches for a better crisp. Chef AJ always swears by cooking them whole in her InstantPot, then sticking them in the fridge overnight. I’ll have to try your method. I really like when Crystal is in your videos, too. Keep up the great videos, guys! And, thanks for the delicious recipe!✨👏🤩🌸
you guys are awesome! thanks for the helpful, funny videos. you always put a smile on my face :) I have an instant pot and use at least once a week! best purchase ever. love making dried beans in there too - so cheap and easy!!
I think Crystal is just about the most beautiful woman in the world. Her joyful, gracious spirit shines thru her physical beauty.....from one woman to another. Now I'll finish your vid.
She’s stunning inside and out
Another great advantage of the InstaPot is it does not heat up your kitchen like cooking in a conventional oven. If you live in a warm climate this is a big plus in the summer months! The IP also uses a lot less energy as compared to a larger oven.
We have both and I use the instant pot much more often, especially since I like to cook with dried beans and brown rice. Sometimes I wish I had 2! We just recently got an air fryer/toaster/countertop convection oven combination. We don't air fry THAT often so getting the appliance with multiple features to make it more useful was definitely the way to go (plus our old toaster had just died).
Great video guys! Thank you both so much!!
Peace and love ☮️☮️☮️💜💜💜🌿🌿🌿
Wow!!! that looks sooooo gooood!!!!!! ❤
I have neither unfortunately... but one day I'll buy the instint-pot!! 🏆
Gonna buy a instant pot soon at Costco. Excited.
That curry looks amazing a really gotta get instant pot. My toaster oven is also an air fryer but I haven't tried it out yet.
Oh yes I have seen those! I was curious too. It's probably like a convection oven.
Both! One of each so they can be used at the same time.
I own and love them both, but the Instant Pot makes so much food, so it would have to be my choice. I love making beans, potatoes, and chilli in mine. I wish I would have ordered the air fryer that has multiple racks so we cook more at one time. Love this video and when you guys do videos together. 🤗
I will buy both when I get a bigger kitchen one day :)
Bake your potato first then cut into wedges, season and air fry on full power approx. 10 minutes. Crispy and delicious.
I like my InstantPot/AirFryer Combo! Yes, a great thing! I have two more regular InstantPots also! I use the stovetop for tortillas and oatmeal...and hardly ever use the oven now.
Just bought an instapot, can’t wait to find some recipes
Love my instapot for the essentials, quinoa and lentils 💯
Linty potatoes look delicious!
Yes! The two of you make the funniest videos... her laugh and Dereks sense of humour makes me wanna click and watch! What about more on the Amazing Food series you made? Ok, you cannot travel or visit, but theorethical ones? Anyway, i gotta contemplate an airfryer purchase now...
Great video! I would love to have both of these, but my kitchen is simply way too small. Maybe one day haha. It was nice to see Crystal making an appearance, the color red suits her so well!
Love them both
What a great review! You saved me tons of time!!!
Always great to see you too together in the vids :) I have 2 instant pots (6 and 8 quart) and they are fantastic! I never did get into the air fryer game tho, but maybe I will in the future! Those wedges and crispy tofu sound delicious! :)
Sending love from Quebec!
Great video y’all! I love my instant pot! I use my air fryer in the summer so I don’t heat up my house!
I only clicked to complement the work on the thumbnail. It looks like it took a long time. 👍🏽
Yep, Instantpot is the winner for me as well. And your videos are instant mood-lifters!!! Thank you so much :-)
I just recently got an air fryer and it is a Vortex 10 quart made by the Instant Pot people. It has a rotating basket that slowly spins my potatoes so that they're evenly cooked. I got it really cheap from Amazon as a 'Used -- acceptable" item for $83.30 and it was perfect except for the box it came in.
So last week I went looking for a real instant pot but ended up getting a real stovetop pressure cooker instead! I'm glad I did because I really don't have any counter space left for another appliance. It is a 5.5 liter Prestige Svachh and sells for $77.99 but I played the "Used -- Acceptable" game again and it arrived in perfect condition except for the box and I only paid $34.65. It is heavy stainless steel. I've already made beans and brown rice. I can do anything an Instant Pot can do with it.
How you go to the used/acceptable option?
@@zachcolgrove5660 There's a link that says, "New & Used from" and then it gives a price, "+ FREE Shipping." You'll see it if you look hard enough.
I love my air fryer Miami is in the house again awesome thanks
Another Simnett Nutrition video let’s gooooooooooooo‼️
