We dont need to tell you all the stuff this combo Instant Pot-air fryer can do for you, right? How it makes meal prep quicker, easier, healthier (less oilsometimes no oil!). How motivating it is because it simplifies dishes that might otherwise feel intimidating? How it can be a pressure-cooker, slow-cooker, rice-cooker, steamer, saut pan, yogurt-maker, warmer, and more? Yeah, we didnt think so.
This popular model is on sale for $50 off for Black Friday. With any Instant Pot you have access to more than 1,000 recipes by app or just asking Alexa.
Need backup? Heres what one of many five-star reviewers says: Cooks bacon to crispy perfection, broils steak, toasts bread, bakes biscuits, crisps hash browns...I could go on. The air fryer lid is my favorite cooking appliance ever. Plus, as it cooks, the mess stays in the pan and there is no splatter on the stove! I just wipe the inside of the lids after it cools. Love it!
