Instant Pot Duo Crisp Ultimate Lid
6.15L pressure cooker and air fryer
Editorial review Reviewed 25 October 2026 How we assess products
The Instant Pot Duo Crisp Ultimate Lid combines pressure cooking and air frying under one outer lid, avoiding a second bulky lid to store. It also offers slow cooking, steaming, sautéing, sous vide (sealed food cooked in temperature-controlled water) and dry-heat cooking in a stainless-steel pot. Automatic steam-release controls reduce handling at the valve. Switching from pressure cooking to air frying still means removing the internal pressure cover, which can be hot; follow the instructions and use protection. The lid, seal and pressure parts need proper cleaning after cooking. This is a substantial appliance that makes more sense left on a worktop than lifted in and out each day. Unlike a combi-steam cooker, it does not blend steam and crisping in one setting. This recommendation is for the current 6.15L UK package: a useful value choice if you want pressure cooking and air frying together and have room for it.
