It's a pressure cooker, a steamer, a slow cooker, a dehydrator, an air fryer, a searer, a broiler, and a baker.

I've been busy pressuring, steaming, slow cooking, dehydrating, frying (air), broiling, and baking.

It's pretty useful.
 
Interesting. Im loayhe to buy any more big kitchen gadgets but if it could replace our slow cooker thatd be pretty sweet.
 
I have a crock pot and an air fryer. I've used the air fryer literally twice since Father's day. I got a rice cooker for Christmas that does all of that and I've used it a dozen times since Christmas.
I think my crock pot and air fryer are gonna get "Let Go" or dumped in the trash.
 
I use the crock pot at least once every other week. There is one evening a week I just don;t have time to cook diner before my step-daughter needs to get to dance lessons - so dinner is ready when I get home that way.

I just recently learned that the crock pot is an easy way to make stock. It's a small batch, but I don't have freezer space for big batches of stock anyway.

The Ninja thing would do that also I'm sure. Just all those buttons and stuff would get bored with nothing to do.
 
I have an Instant Pot that I only use as a pressure cooker. Not sure what I’d do with something this complex.

I've mostly been using the pressure cooker (does what a crockpot on 8 hours does in about an hour or less). But with the air fryer built in, I can pressure cook Chicken thighs for 10 minutes (whole process is around 45 minutes), then air fry them to get the outside nice and crispy. The dehydrator is fun if you want to make beef jerky that costs $15 for 8 ounces instead of the $10 you'd pay at the store.
 
Sounds really interesting.

Is it easy to clean? We bought a cheap air fryer a while back and apart frombeing huge, it got disgusting after every use and was a nightmare to clean so we binned it.

Made some amazing slow cooker pulled pork tonight that took 5 hours, I must admit the idea of putting something on, grabbing a few pints down the road then coming home to se great food sounds enticing.
 
Had a quick look online. Yeah im sold. As long as i can fit it in a cupboard its getting bought
 
So we're picking one up today and I've been googling recipes :eek:

I haven't tried the semen yet. But I'm using it almost every day. I was going to do a whole chicken, but a raw whole chicken is $6 to $8 and the roasted chickens at costco are $5. why would i do that?

Animal welfare. The way chickens are raised is deplorable. Cheap chickens are raised in battery cages where they can barely move. Costco is one of the worst, they actually started their own chicken production system so they could crank out hens for less than the big chicken brands to keep the cost of their chickens below what even the worst producers were doing.
 
No semen cooking yet.

I tried pulled pork in the pressure cooker on sunday. It was either too much fat left on it, using cheap appleade instead of the cherry coke the recipe called for or fucking up the pressure cooker settings but it wasn't anywhere near as good as when I do it in the slow cooker.

Been busy all week so only got round to trying the foodi again tonight and made AMAZING beef and lamb kebabs with corn on the cob in 15 bloody minutes from switching the plug on!!!

I've got bacon and sausages for breakfast to try out tomorrow :thu:
 
Costco had the Instant Pop Duo SV on sale for $70, so I took a gamble on it. Haven't used it yet, but it will replace the crockpot and (I'm hoping) the vegetable steamer as well.
 
We cancelled our dinner plans so i did sons ribeyes and fries with mushroons and vine tomatoes.

Was ok. Glad it was cheap ribeyes I used though. I just grilled them. Next time I might roast then broil.
 
Bacon this morning air fried.
Doesn't look great but its actually really nice.
