    Can anything comment on using this pot as an air fryer or rice cooker?
    Good, adequate or bad?

      Adequate to good as an air fryer. It's a relatively small capacity air fryer and it doesn't have the same amount of airflow so not as good as a dedicated air fryer but still gets the job done for 1-2 people. Wouldn't recommend trying to cook for a while family in it at once.

      As a rice cooker, probably just adequate. Rice is pretty good but not as good as a dedicated rice cooker. Granted I have only ever cooked rice under pressure so there might be another way that's better that I haven't tried.

        I love my instant pot as a rice cooker, you've just gotta get the recipe right.

        Way better than those cheap rice cookers from Kmart, but not as good as the fancy pressure cooker rice cookers from Asia like coockoo, tiger, etc.

    • try2bhelpful on 08/06/2023 - 23:19

      I’ve got this exact model.

      The Air Fryer is good for things like fish, chicken nuggets, etc. It is, probably, a bit smaller than the big Philips one in capacity. We use it to cook rice, and it works well for us, but we are not Asian so I don’t know how it would compare to a specialist rice cooker.

      We use ours a lot because it is very versatile and you don’t pfaff around with ensuring the pressure cooker is boiling properly; this is done via the programming you select. The manual is on the website so it would be worthwhile looking at it to see how it works.

      I have the duo crisp non pro and a Phillips XXL airfryer. After about 6 weeks, I sort of wish I'd just bought the non airfryer instantpot.

      As an airfryer it is a compromise. The distance from the heating element seems to be larger and it doesn't have a shaped container like the Phillips with fins on the bottom to redirect the air back up onto the food. Overall impact is that it takes longer to cook food, and doesn't brown food as well. I've gone back to using the Phillips as the primary.

      The Airfryer lid is also pretty large when not in use (smaller than a separate air fryer of course, but still a big hunk of kit to store).

      The 8L is also huge for pressure cooking, which increases the minimum amount of food you can make in it. Lisa Childs is a YouTuber and cookbook author who apparently has 8 instantpots and only uses the 8L when cooking for events, with the 5.7 being big enough for family meals.

      As always, YMMV and do your own research to come to a decision.

      • try2bhelpful on 09/06/2023 - 08:56

        Thanks for the input. I agree the airfryer is a bit of a compromise but we mainly use it for snacks like fish, chicken nuggets, etc and it works well for those. I haven’t tried to do anything like a roast chicken yet.

        Interestingly we have the 5.7l Duo, and this one, and we barely use the 5.7l now. The Pro version is quicker and the extra room is good for doing things like pot in pot for porridge. The 5.7L is a bit squeezy for things like corned beef, multiple lamb shanks etc. As you say YMMV but having used both I think the 8L is the best option if people are only buying one. However, they are a tad heavy and you will need the room. The 5.7L pro is on special as well. There is a link on the same page.

        I like the Pro version because the handles lock the pot in place for storing. I also like the knob fir the controls rather than, continually, pressing the button to modify time or temperature. Also the steam diffuser makes it easier for the range hood to suck up the steam.

    If you compare the size of this compact multipurpose machine, then it is sufficient and worth it. It has a massive 8L stainless steel pot that is hard to find in many of the other similar cookers around.

    I just wished the basket could have been stainless steel or even silicone made.

    Using it for 3 years for at least 3-5 times a week. Never cooked rice, but amazing curried dishes in the sauté mode.

  • chaosjester on 09/06/2023 - 06:30

    It's not the best rice cooker, but it does the job. I usually do 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water for 7 minutes on pressure then let it release naturally for 10-15 minutes. Works better the more rice you do though, 1 cup kinda sucks but 2+ cups works better.
    As a pressure cooker it is awesome, I use it several times a week.
    The sous vide is great too, been doing steaks and pork belly and its all turned out great.
    As an airfryer though, its not as good as a dedicated airfryer but its passable.
    We pretty much went back to the oven for anything baked, but the other functions are so good that we aren't even mad about it.

    I tried to post this deal when it first came up but the website thought it was a duplicate and wouldn't let me. I bought one of these and keen to try it out. I don't particularly want to use it as a standalone air fryer (I have an oven for that) but I do want to use it to brown dishes after pressure cooking. I also like to cook enough to freeze portions (we are a family of four) so I think the 8L will be good.

    • try2bhelpful on 09/06/2023 - 09:59

      The man cooked Macaroni Cheese in the InstantPot. He cooked the Pasta, left it to one side, then did the rest in Saute mode and finished off with the air fryer to brown the bread crumbs. You just need to keep an eye on it to make sure you don’t let it brown too much.

      Why would you brown something after pressure cooking? Generally you brown the meat in Saute mode before cooking.

      • Zenyatta on 09/06/2023 - 11:00

        if you're doing something like a roast chicken and vegetables, that all goes in raw, you pressure cook and then brown the chicken and potatoes at the end so it's more like a traditional roast.

        If it was a casserole or something you might want a bit of crispiness on top at the end.

    The parent company in the US has just gone into receivership. I wonder if we'll see some more bargains soon. https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/retail/cookware-com…
