But not really?
December 2018, my life changed when I was gifted an instapot from my dad for Christmas. At first I didn’t really use it too often. My job at the time provided dinners 5 days a week so I didn’t do a lot of cooking. Then when I switched to teaching, I was very anxious of using the device with the power outlets in my Toronto living spaces. I legit thought something would explode or catch on fire.
When I moved to Ottawa, I waited quite a while before testing my instapot out here. But I did! And now I use the slow cooker function a lot!
Over the holidays, I took the leap and got myself the air fryer lid for the pot and now I am in LOVE!
I tested it out on some french fries and they turned out amazing!

Now the new lid doesn’t just work as an air fryer; it does lots of things!! And the base pot does a ton, too! Here are all the buttons I get to choose from


In other words, I don’t think I will need another kitchen appliance ever haha
I sent my son & his wife an air fryer for Christmas last month. I have been looking at different installed on Amazon lately but can’t figure out the best one to buy for just myself.

I love mine so far!! And being able to just buy a lid for my instapot was sooooo much more efficient than a whole new device

Can you cook rice in it? Because I was also thinking of getting a rice cooker.

Yes! The newer machines (that include the air fry) have like 11 functions! My instapot has 6 and then the air fry has another 5 or 6. I think the pictures should show all the different buttons
