17-in-1 Instapot 6 Quart Electric Pressure Cooker and Air Fryer from COOCHEER

DerylH: Like all Chinese made items the instructions don’t translate well to English, and often leave out important information. The really strange operation is that the slow cook mode (while being a separate button versus one of the menu dial items) REQUIRES the use of the pressure lid in the fully locked state! There is also no setting for how long the slow cook is supposed to run. The pot seems to just run the “slow cook” at medium pressure for a longer cycle. This is NOT SLOW COOKING! It is pressure cooking. The pot also has a “sous vide” mode. Again no mention in the manual. This is a dial menu setting, and does allow operating without the pressure lid. There isn’t any swirling liquid in sous vide… and this seems more like slow cook than swirling boiling water I would expect. Perhaps the translations got the two functions reversed?

Officeronin: I had an instapot and an air fryer. They worked fine. What I didn't have was counter space for both. Instapots are life-changing, especially if you want to include more beans and plant based proteins in your diet, and air fryers are nice. This does both very well, and only takes about a square foot of space on the counter. I was concerned that it would not do as well a job in air frying as my purpose built air fryer, but it works just fine.

DNA: I’ve been staring at air fryers for months now debating on whether it’s worth the investment. I can finally say it definitely is!! This one is a great price for the large size. It comes with a little recipe book and tricks for use that I'd never heard before. It also has preset buttons for many common items. Awesome. Best fried wings I have ever had so far and all were crisp and perfect!! My only criticism is that I am unable to select a specific temperature for the pressure cooker - only preselects and that I paid much more than the one now going for less. Overall, great tool. Also highly recommend making cinnamon candied almonds!

Indira Govindarao: The pressure cooker was definitely a 5/5. Though it is a little difficult to navigate at first but once you get the nag of it, it’s really easy to manage. The cooker is also very big and sleek giving the perfect look and feel.

DeNadaAqui404: I've had this for about a month and finding uses for it has been a fun challenge.

Growing up I've been around the old stovetop pressure-cookers that had to be watched like a hawk and still stuff went wrong.

With not a lot of kitchen space, I was intrigued by the air fryer option this has as well.

After about a month's use of both the air fryer and the pressure cooker, I've come to like this handy appliance and wish I knew more that could be done with it.

The paperwork that came with did not help much when it comes to teaching or inspiring...

And I have issues with the air fryer top not staying down during use. I remedied this by using a rubber band around the handles. From what I've fried with it though, it does a swell job. Beats cleaning up oil splatter messes all over my stove later.

As for the pressure cooking option, it's taken some learning to properly utilize this. I do appreciate that it won't open unless the pressure has been sufficiently released, cuz I sometimes forget to do that first before trying to turn the lid.

Overall, as a spoonie, I find this very helpful in the kitchen. Would like to get...
