– There are tons of Instant Pot recipes all over the internet, so finding quick meal ideas is easy. – It’s less bulky then the Ninja Foodi. – The Instant Pot costs less money, there are different models so you can tailor your needs and not pay for the extra features you won’t use. – There are a ton of models to choose from, and they even have one that you can use to can.
– It’s one more small appliance to take up room in your cabinet. – The slow cooker mode is awful, it doesn’t work well at all (at least on the model I had). I had a roast slow cooking all day, and it was still raw at dinner. After a Google search and talking to an Instant Pot blogger, turns out it was a common issue. If this has improved, please let me know in the comments. – Doesn’t have a built in air fryer, but you can buy the Instant Pot Air Fryer lid for an additional $90. – There are a lot to choose from, and it can get confusing.
– It replaces so many small appliances. I sold my slow cooker, rice cooker, and air friers. – All the functions work well. – You can use both functions with one recipe. A great example is how you can pressure cooker a roast chicken, and then air fry it so the skin crisps up. Like I did with this Ninja Foodi Pesto Whole Roast Chicken Recipe. – You cook more with the air frier (bigger batches) then with the Instant Pot.
