This lid has a special pressure cooking cover as well as an air fryer heating element with fan. This lid is unlike any Instant Pot we\u2019ve seen before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Comparisons to Other Combination Air Fryer \/ Pressure Cooker Models<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This Ultimate Lid model seems to be Instant Pot\u2019s answer to the all-in-one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/ninja-foodi-smart-xl-pressure-cooker-with-thermometer-review-how-to-guide\/\">Ninja Foodi with Smart Lid<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like that model, the Ultimate Lid Duo Crisp is able to pressure cook and air fry using the same, non-removable lid. It also features a 6.5 quart pot, like the Foodi Smart Lid, which comes with a 6.5 and 8-quart size. The Ninja Foodi lid hinges open on the left side while the Ultimate Lid hinges open at the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for how the Ultimate Lid compares to the older model of the Duo Crisp, the main difference is that the older models came with two removable lids, one for pressure cooking and another for air frying. In contrast, you cannot remove the lid from the Ultimate Lid model. In addition, the newer cooking pot is wider and shorter than the older models, which limits the amount you can air fry at one time. It also limits the accessories you can use with it.   <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0043-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"The Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid from the front with the lid open featuring the pressure cooking lid insert.\" class=\"wp-image-45029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0043-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0043-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0043-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0043-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0043.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>The Ultimate Lid with the pressure cooking cover in place. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ProsCons\">QUICK PROS AND CONS <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid incorporates some of my favorite features from other Instant Pot models, along with some brand-new features that I hope stick around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are my main pros and cons, listed briefly, then I&#8217;ll expand on these features in the sections below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\ud83d\udfe2 <strong>Pros<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The<strong> lid is really well-thought-out<\/strong>. The button and switches are intuitive, the pressure cooking cover makes for easier clean-up, and the cover releases and inserts easily.<\/li><li><strong>Easy-to-read button layout<\/strong> with pressure cooking buttons on the left and air fry functions on the right, as well as the knob\/button combination for making selections.<\/li><li><span style=\"color: initial;\">The <strong>dot matrix display<\/strong><\/span> makes it much easier to know what&#8217;s going on inside your pot.<\/li><li>Includes <strong>all of the basic cooking functions without the presets<\/strong>. (In our experience, the presets make the unit more intimidating without providing much value to the users.)<\/li><li>Integrated <strong>condensation cup is wider<\/strong> and easier to clean.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>\ud83d\udd34 <strong>Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Since the silicone sealing ring is screwed into the pressure cooking cover, there&#8217;s <strong>no way to use separate rings<\/strong> for savory and sweet foods.<\/li><li>The single lid makes the whole unit <strong>heavier to lift<\/strong> (18 pounds). This is our main issue with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/ninja-foodi-pressure-cooker-review\/\">Ninja<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/ninja-foodi-smart-xl-pressure-cooker-with-thermometer-review-how-to-guide\/\">Foodi<\/a> models, though their models range between 21 and 26 pounds.<\/li><li>The <strong>lid does not remove<\/strong>, which means it tilts at a 90-degree angle when you&#8217;re adding ingredients or saut\u00e9ing, so you need a good amount of space above and around it. <\/li><li>The single <strong>Air Frying \/ Cooking Rack accessory isn&#8217;t as useful<\/strong> as a the separate trivet and air frying basket that comes with the two-lid Duo Crisp model.<\/li><li>The <strong>shorter pot means that some accessories won&#8217;t fit<\/strong>, which makes pot-in-pot cooking more difficult.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#ToC\"><strong><em>Return to the Table of Contents<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0046-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"The front of the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid with the lid open showing the air frying lid.\" class=\"wp-image-45030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0046-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0046-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0046-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0046-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0046.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>And this is what the Ultimate Lid looks like with the pressure cooking cover removed and the air frying portion of the lid visible. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"FeatureBreakdown\">Detailed Feature Breakdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to create a single-lid version of their Crisp series, Instant Pot had to make a number of major design changes to the appliance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Redesigned, Single Lid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest, most-obvious design change is in the lid. On the outside, the lid requires a large switch to lock in place, instead of the twist-in-place method used in other Instant Pot models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the non-removable lid opens, it hinges toward the back at a near 90-degree angle. You can\u2019t open the lid when it&#8217;s building pressure or at pressure and the message bar reads \u201cDo not open.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"800\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0176-close-800x517.jpg\" alt=\"A close up of the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid showing the lid lock switch.\" class=\"wp-image-45042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0176-close-800x517.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0176-close-500x323.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0176-close-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0176-close-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0176-close.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\">\u26a0\ufe0f <strong>Note: <\/strong>To open the lid, you need to slide the switch toward the unlock icon, then press and hold a little bit past the icon for it to actually open.

On this side, you can also see the screws that hold the sealing ring in place.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3>Pressure Cooking Cover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\">\ud83d\udd34 <strong>Push the red button to release the pressure cooking cover<\/strong>. Once the button is pushed, the cover will release and fall, so be sure to have your finger in the loop provided to prevent it from clattering against the cooking pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>pressure cooking cover has everything from a traditional pressure cooking lid<\/strong>, including the steam release valve, float valve, and silicone gasket. However, these features are entirely embedded in this single interior piece, which is completely covered when you close the main lid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a huge change from being able to see them on the exterior. You cannot tell by sight when the float valve drops\u2014you have to rely on the message on the screen. And you also have to <strong>use the Steam Release button on the control panel to release the pressure<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can push the steam release button to switch release modes from quick release, pulse release, or natural release at any time; you don&#8217;t even need to press start, just change it and it flashes then selects in a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A major benefit to the inner pressure cooking cover is that <strong>the Ultimate Lid model completely blocks the air fryer heating element and fan<\/strong> while pressure cooking. In practice, this means you don\u2019t have to worry about cleaning the fan and heating element every time you pressure cook.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#dddddd\">\ud83d\udd10 The pressure cooking cover has a little black notch that fits easily into the lid housing. Simply <strong>line up the notch with the bottom of the housing<\/strong> so that the steam release valve can tuck up into the lid housing itself. Press gently until you hear the lid snap securely in place.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0151-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Picture showing the bottom side of the pressure cooking insert lid for the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid\" class=\"wp-image-45036\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0151-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0151-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0151-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0151-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0151.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>The underside of the Pressure Cooking Cover, which has the anti-block shield, the float valve, the holder loop, and the sealing ring.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3>Silicone Sealing Rings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The silicone gasket is attached to the plate itself and does not come out.<\/strong> If you wanted more than one gasket you would have to buy a replacement Pressure Cooking Cover piece, which is not currently available for sale. Hopefully, they\u2019ll address this in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this design<strong>, this model does not allow you to use separate sealing rings for different types of foods<\/strong>. (This can be a problem when cooking strong-smelling foods like onions or sauces and then trying to cook more delicate foods like cheesecakes.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#ToC\"><strong><em>Return to the Table of Contents<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Different Pot Dimensions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This 6.5 inch pot is wider and shorter than traditional Instant Pot cooking pots.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shorter pot fits 8-inch pans easily, and if you have a very narrow push-pan with no lip, you may even be able to make a standard 9-inch cheesecake in this model. However, a traditional springform pan will not fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, these pot dimensions make it impossible to use a 3-quart inner pot inside for pot-in-pot cooking, like you can with other Instant Pot models. It also makes it difficult to pot-in-pot cook with a tall trivet that has a side dish suspended above the main dish. (See our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/creamy-chicken-and-broccoli-over-rice\/\">Chicken and Broccoli over Rice<\/a> for an example.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe this wider cooking pot was created to help it air fry items better. For instance, it would easily fit a small chicken to roast and brown.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0170-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead shot of the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid with the lid open and the air frying basket in the inner pot.\" class=\"wp-image-45039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0170-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0170-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0170-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0170-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0170.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3>Air Fry \/ Cooking Rack<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The included <strong>air fry \/ cooking rack is meant to be reversible<\/strong>. Use the tall side up for air frying, pressure cooking, and steaming. The shorter side up is meant for broiling and dehydrating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, the single-level air fry\/cooking rack doesn&#8217;t hold as much as the crisper basket that comes with the two-lid Duo Crisp model. It also can be more difficult to clean if you&#8217;re cooking something drippy, simply because of all the small openings in the rack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trivet doesn\u2019t fit a 7&#215;3 cake pan, which is our workhorse for pot-in-pot cooking. However, it is wide enough to fit a 6-inch round pan. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img width=\"733\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_Button-Organization.jpg\" alt=\"a black and white rendering of the button layout on the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid\" class=\"wp-image-45061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_Button-Organization.jpg 733w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_Button-Organization-500x477.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_Button-Organization-150x143.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3>DISPLAY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The display is my favorite feature of this Duo Crisp model. <\/strong>First of all, the buttons are arranged in a really sensible way that groups all the functions that require the pressure cooking cover on the left and those that require it removed on the right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even better, beneath the traditional time and temperature LCD display, they have added a dot matrix display that talks to you with words. For example, it will tells you to remove the lid or lock the valve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: Unlike other Instant Pot models, this Ultimate Lid model does not have the ability to push the function button more than once to remember your favorite cook times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it switches to the release, the matrix display will read \u201cnatural release\u201d and then a counter counts UP from 0:00. (No L00:00 like older Instant Pot models).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(For how to use the buttons, continue reading in our <a href=\"#HowToButtons\">How to Cook section<\/a>, below.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>HOUSING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike most other Instant Pot models, the Ultimate Lid model is made of a durable plastic instead of stainless steel. (Our guess is to to help cut down on the weight of the unit and to bring down the cost.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it cleans easily. They have also slightly expanded the distance between the outer rim and the notches that surround the cooking pot, so it&#8217;s easier to clean. This space also clearly feeds in to an expanded condensation cup that actually collects the liquids from the lid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Condensation on the inner lid flows down into the condensation cup when you open the lid, so you need to wash it every time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#ToC\"><strong><em>Return to the Table of Contents<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0144-Close-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"The digital display for the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid featuring dot matrix.\" class=\"wp-image-45035\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0144-Close-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0144-Close-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0144-Close-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0144-Close-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0144-Close.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"HowToButtons\">HOW TO COOK WITH THE DUO CRISP WITH ULTIMATE LID<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mv-diy\"><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"HowTo\",\"name\":\"How to Pressure Cook and Air Fry in the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Pressure Cooking Today \\\/ Barbara Bakes LLC\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-06-11\",\"description\":\"Nearly all of our recipes here at Pressure Cooking Today cook at High Pressure.

Press the Temp button and use the dial to set your air frying temperature. (This unit goes to a max of 400&deg;F.)<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_448_14\">Press the <strong>Start <\/strong>button, and listen as the unit's heating element and fan kick on. (Again, remember that if you forget to press Start, your unit will revert to \"Ready\" and you'll need to repeat all of the steps.)<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_448_15\">As the unit cooks, it will remind you to turn your food if needed.

On my counters, I needed to turn the unit sideways to cook in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The manual for the Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid specifies that <strong>the minimum cooking liquids is 2 cups <\/strong>of liquid unless otherwise specified in the recipe. (However, in our testing so far, we have not had any issues making recipes with only 1 cup or less of liquids.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#ToC\"><strong><em>Return to the Table of Contents<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ComesWith\">WHAT COMES WITH THE DUO CRISP WITH ULTIMATE LID?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Ultimate Lid Duo Crisp comes with only one accessory<\/strong>: an Air Fry\/Cooking Rack. This rack is meant to be reversible. Use the tall side up for air frying, pressure cooking, and steaming. The shorter side up is meant for broiling and dehydrating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It does not come with a spare silicone ring, since the ring is non-removable. It also does not come with the air fry basket that is standard with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/instant-pot-duo-crisp-review\/\">traditional Duo Crisp<\/a>, which is too tall to use in this model. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, however, the single-level air fry\/cooking rack doesn&#8217;t hold as much as the crisper basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#ToC\"><em><strong>Return to the Table of Contents<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0173-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead shot of the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid showing the steam release slot on the top of the picture.\" class=\"wp-image-45040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0173-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0173-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0173-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0173-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Duo_Crisp_with_Ultimate_Lid_Instant_Pot_Review_by_Pressure_Cooking_Today_IMG_0173.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"BurnNotice\">WHY DID I GET A BURN NOTICE ON THE DUO CRISP WITH ULTIMATE LID?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"BurnNotice\">Since the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid cooks at 1500W, it runs hotter than the more traditional 1000W Instant Pot models. Since most Instant Pot recipes are developed for these more common, traditional models, in rare occasions the higher heat will trigger the Burn Notice. (The other 98% of the time, the difference in power doesn\u2019t make any difference with the recipes.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid reads FOOD BURN, the first things to check are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Does the inner pot have enough liquid?<\/li><li>Are any food deposits stuck to the bottom of the inner pot?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve gotten the burn notice, remove the inner cooking pot from the base. Check for debris inside the pressure cooker housing or on the outside of the stainless steel cooking pot. (Keep in mind that the cooker will be hot, so you may need to let it cool to thoroughly check.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then check the cooking pot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If just a little food has burned onto the bottom of the cooking pot, scoop the food into a separate bowl and scrape the burned parts away. Return the food to the cooking pot. At this point, you can add more liquid to the pressure cooking pot and try another pressure cooking cycle. Or you can transfer the pot to the stove or oven and stir while you finish cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a lot of food has burned on, you\u2019ll be able to taste the burnt taste throughout and, unfortunately, you may have to discard the meal. Soak and scrub off the burned foods. Barkeepers friend is a useful cleaner to help remove stubborn stains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future, be sure to add more liquid to the pot and avoid ingredients containing thickeners like canned soups or prepackaged spaghetti sauces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\">\u26a0\ufe0f For more details, check out our in-depth discussion on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/the-instant-pot-burn-message-what-to-do-and-how-to-avoid-it-in-the-future\/\">Instant Pot Burn Notice: What to Do and How to Avoid It in the Future<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#ToC\"><strong><em>Return to the Table of Contents<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Warranty\">WARRANTY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid has a <strong>1-year limited warranty<\/strong>.
