Of late there has been another burst of people moving house in our neck of woods, you may have heard about it in the news.
So here one finds oneself with an Instant Pot "Duo" and Nijia "Foodi 6 in 1"
Need either or both like want pneumonia, but one doesn't like to be rude when people are giving "ahem" gifts.
Mind you already have two Magefesa pressure cookers, a vintage Cuisinart convection oven, two Maxim convection ovens and a Hamiliton Beach (or something, cannot recall) slow cooker (another gift from someone moving house three years ago), so am quite up to speed with "fast" cooking gadgets.
IIRC this Instant Pot is just an glorified pressure cooker that runs on electric. How well does it work compared to range top models. The thing is rather large as such occupies quite a bit of shelf or counter space. If it can't do anything better than the Magefesa pots, it will have to go.
From what one has read about these Ninja air fryers they make quite a bit of smoke, are not easy to clean, an in general aren't better than countertop convection ovens like Farberware of old. Again since have the Maxim and Cuisinart counter top convection ovens, is there really a difference worth bothering? [this post was last edited: 7/31/2022-14:10]
