Heads up for anyone looking to buy an air fryer - get a square shaped one! You get more surface area for the same space the circular ones take up on the counter. Also mine cooks potatoes WAY faster than Derek’s. Like half the time. So look at different models and their power. I have the instant vortex and it’s awesome.
I'm an air fryer fan all the way. I've put literally every vegetable I eat in the air fryer and they roast in 10 minutes instead of the 30-45 in the oven. Brussels, asparagus, cauliflower, squash, zuchinni, broccoli, green beans, chickpeas, beans, anything. I'll put tofu, broccoli, and potatoes all in together at varying intervals and you get a whole meal in
hi do you put them in together or separately and do you put anything on them as i'm trying to avoid oil
@@mony3264 I put it all together but at different times. 400 degrees for 12-15 min. Potatoes first for 3-4 min, then add tofu, and then only do the broccoli the last 3-4 min. No oil necessary.
Would love to see a video!
Great idea! Thank you!
ok that is it. I am getting an airfryer!
"It's Friday night, we want to party" - Simnett 2021. 😂😂😂 looks yum.
i love it, thinks adding a teaspoon of oil makes it a party :)
@@imericcmade me laugh so much haha
All grown up now! Hit me with that air fry cooker shawty ;)
Lets have a sip of oil and digest it till the early morn !
Woohoo!! Strippers & Cocaine!!!
"It sings you a little song" - I love this channel! The mini-in-between comments always make me laugh and smile! Thank you & Crystal for being a positive source of inspiration and help for living a healthier life!
Instant Pot has a model with an Air Fryer lid. It's amazing.
Yes they do. I don't think it fits onto the larger 8 quart though. Maybe I am wrong though. Also I was wondering how it compares to an air fryer, because the air fryer has special channels that allow the air to go in through the sides and up from underneath.
@@Simnettnutrition my mom has the instant pot air fryer and it works really well! Love roasting brussel sprouts and other veggies in it!!
@@Simnettnutrition you’re right. Unfortunately, they do not make the air fryer lid for the 8 qt. one. I think there is actually some kind of technical reason for that, but I forgot what it is. I may contact the Instant Pot folks to ask.
@@calisongbird I have the instant pot crisp and it’s 8 quart
It sounds like snacks who offer guacamole and humus to vegan dishes buyers 😄
Lookup 'good vibes' in the dictionary. it's a picture of these 2 great content Derek and Crystal and way to rep chill, healthy, quality living, 0 ego, just lifting each other (and us) up every time. Thanks from Kentucky
Couldn't agree more with your assessment. I hope these two lovely humans never change from the down-to-earth kind-hearted folks they seem to be.
Totally agree, I love watching this channel
We love our Instant pot!! Thanks Derek another great video!!
We’ve had our instant pot last couple years and it’s been used A LOT. Just got an air fryer, I wasn’t excited but wife and kids were. Did potatoes and I was stoked. Both good to have.
Only had my instant pot for a few weeks and I'm totally loving it! It's never in the cupboard, I steam potatoes whole so they can be used for wedges or roasties. I cook beans, lentils, rice, soup, stews the list is endless. Just recently purchased the air fryer not used it yet but looking forward to making the wedges. Thank you for the video, the curry is on my list it looks yummy
Lately, I've been obsessing over the question of whether to get an air fryer or not...this is perfect timing! And high quality video as always 🙂
Nice! If you have the cupboard space it really is nice to have.
@@Simnettnutrition How could I cook this low carb.? Maybe green peas, cauliflower?
look into the instant pot duo crisp... has an 8qt pot and lid. That's how I got both in one gadget.
@@Simnettnutrition you didn't answer my 2 biggest questions. Does it heat up the house less than using the oven? Because 40 mind for wedges is about what a regular oven would require. Also does it really get things crispier than an oven? Because those are the only reasons I would invest in one. Oh yea..and how loud is it?
Instant pot all the way. Makes great oatmeal too! Use mine almost every day. Thank you for another fun video
ThanksI for the recipe! Just tried it tonight and it was VERY flavorful! 👍🏾👍🏾
I love when Crystal is in the videos! I have both the air fryer and the pressure cooker. The air fryer gets used more frequently because you don't have to wait for it to do its job like the pressure cooker. It's also good for warming up leftovers, and depending on what you cook in it, you don't have to clean it after every use, especially if you're not using oil. I do kind of wish I had went with one of those hybrid machines.
I love Crystal! I giggle alot too. So she makes me smile lol
I have 4 instant pots and 1 air fryer. It's safe to say I would definitely keep the instant pot. You can basically cool anything in the IP, which I do on many occasions. Thanks for the videos! Love ya both!
We have a rice cooker…it's kind of like your insta-pot, but without the steam.
Just throw in the ingredients for a lentil stew or curry and it's ready in around an hour. It also keeps it warm, so you can make it on the morning and then eat it at lunch.
It's so easy that we usually have at least one meal a day like this.
I have both and I love them!
The instant pot makes cooking super convenient and the air fryer helps reduce oil intake🙏
Thanks for the great video Derek!
Thank you for the advice on the Instant Pot. I'm going to purchase an 8 qt and get to making some of your amazing dishes. You two are the best.
You sold me on both! Thanks guys you are both awesome!
Such perfect timing I’ve been saving up to buy one or the other, I didn’t know which to buy first so thank you for making my decision 😊
Instant pot for me all the way! I've tried air fryer, its nice but for me the instant pot is a lot more practical, exactly like you said.
Much love for you guys as always ❤
You guys are such a positive force in the plant powered space
Great information and you really did answer some common questions others have had. You both make such a good team!
I have the big instant pot, a slow cooker, air fryer and a rice cooker. Love them all!!!
I made the curry today, and I just wanted to offer a big thanks for the recipe - It was excellent!!
YA'LL ARE THE BEST! This is such a sweet and thoughtful video. I have a rice cooker that also steams veggies. It takes up so much space and doesn't create one-pot meals so I've been thinking of getting an instant pot for the same reasons ya'll mention. I'd rather have an instant pot take-up space.
Hey you awesome guys! We’re yet to use/get an instant pot so I’ll watch this with interest. Thanks 🙏
Oh Hench you need to get into it man! Especially with the amount you must eat!
Worth every cent and every inch of counter space. Even if all you make is beans, rice, and soup, it will get a work out.
You guys can be so grateful to have each other!
I agree, I’d keep the instant pot over the air fryer just because I use it so much more and much of what you can do in the air fryer you can also do in the oven. I use the IP for whole baked potatoes, both kinds, one or twice a week, as well as for beans and one pot meals. As always, love and hugs to you both!
I use both almost exclusively. Now, having seen the pre cut parchment circles, I need to find some of those! I have the same air fryer as you. Thanks to both of you! Take care!
What a great review! You saved me tons of time!!!
Made the curry with Mung beans, dark brown French lentils and yellow split peas. Absolutely delish! Thank you. Xx
BOTH! We use the instant pot for many things and the Air fryer for some healthy fried foods without using oil. We love them both.
I just bought a vitamix, so excited!
you guys are awesome! thanks for the helpful, funny videos. you always put a smile on my face :) I have an instant pot and use at least once a week! best purchase ever. love making dried beans in there too - so cheap and easy!!
Thanks man. I'm going to get an instapot. Always amazing seeing Crystal in the videos.
I do frozen shoestring fries at 200C for 18-20 minutes (no oil necessary) and they are banging!
Thank you for sharing this! I love your channel! 🤩
Thank you for this video Derek and Crystal!
I have definitely thought about getting both at some point,but now you cleared things up for me.
I should get the instant pot once my budget allows.
It seems like a gamechanger,not having to soak anything beforehand or boiling my legumes for 2 hours before they are soft enough.
Or having to always be near the pan to not overflow while boiling.
And i can boil soybeans so quickly to make my tempeh.
Plus,it is way quicker and more economical!
Now i want more instant pot recipes and ideas!
Great video guys! Thank you both so much!!
Peace and love ☮️☮️☮️💜💜💜🌿🌿🌿
Thanks, Guys! Love you two!
Instapot is in my future for sure. I’ve been thinking on it for a while and I’m definitely gonna buy it. Thanks for the vid.
I got an instapot over a month ago as a gift and this makes me want to finally try it out this week lol.
Man thanks for making this video!! I actually never knew about the instant pot!! You saved me time my friend!!!
I recently got an Air fryer and I'm loving it! I don't feel the need for Insta pot because I have a slow cooker that I also love and use often.
Everything I've cooked in this unit has come out great ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB ! Everything tastes so good. Some of the recipes I've changed a little to improve the taste. For instance, for french fries which call for no oil, I spray them with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. They come out great! It makes the best toast I have ever eaten. The recipe I use calls for lightly buttering both sides of the bread. It calls for cooking at 400 degrees for 5 minutes on one side and then 2 minutes on the other side. This time has a lot to do with the kind of bread you are using...so keep an eye on it. Also, the fans in this Ninja are a lot stronger than other air fryers. So lay a metal spoon or something on the bread to keep it from flying around. It's a little extra work to use your Ninja as a toaster but it is worth it!
And now I want some curry... perfect motivation for post-run reward :)
Haha. It is suuuuch a good recipe! We have had it like 4 nights in a row now. Haha, gotta love recipe testing.
We love our instant pot......and got it after seeing it used so much for recipes. I still want to get an air fryer....but haven't done it yet. Crispy tofu always looks so good! We don't have a ton of storage space, but it is going to happen!
I love and use them both..great video
I’ve been afraid to use it bc I’m afraid of the steam burning me. But now after seeing you guys I’ll try it.
I own and love them both, but the Instant Pot makes so much food, so it would have to be my choice. I love making beans, potatoes, and chilli in mine. I wish I would have ordered the air fryer that has multiple racks so we cook more at one time. Love this video and when you guys do videos together. 🤗
Thanks for the IP recipe! I don't have a conventional stove, so I opted for an IP to complement my two induction hot plates. I chose a toaster oven that has an airfrying setting, and I like airfrying wedges when I have left over steamed potatoes from the IP. It's a nice way to add variety. :)
Instant Pot team over here. Just buy it! For fried veggies I use a convection oven, they are ready with or without oil in 20 min.
Really enjoy your vids. Love the car and workout vids.
You two are so great together! Love the video :D
Love them both
As random active vegan mom of 2 kids and 2 dogs I love love LOVE the instant pot! I really want an air fryer but we dont really have the space and it doesnt seem like it would be big enough to make servings for a family of 4 hungry people... I still use your no oil oven baked potato wedge recipe!!
We have both and I use the instant pot much more often, especially since I like to cook with dried beans and brown rice. Sometimes I wish I had 2! We just recently got an air fryer/toaster/countertop convection oven combination. We don't air fry THAT often so getting the appliance with multiple features to make it more useful was definitely the way to go (plus our old toaster had just died).
Love my instant pot for batch cooking all types of starches and stocks. Makes meal preparation so much easier. I also like the dump and go recipes.
I will be getting an air fryer for doing quick and seasoned veggies, tofu, and chickpeas.
These 2 appliances make being vegan so much more sustainable.
Thanks for the great video. ❤ from Vancouver. 😊
I have the instapot with air fryer ..... all in one. Its amazing ... all you do is to switch out the lid. I got mine on Amazon on at a special price of $200. Saves counter space too.
Always great to see you too together in the vids :) I have 2 instant pots (6 and 8 quart) and they are fantastic! I never did get into the air fryer game tho, but maybe I will in the future! Those wedges and crispy tofu sound delicious! :)
Sending love from Quebec!
Great video y’all! I love my instant pot! I use my air fryer in the summer so I don’t heat up my house!
You two are hilarious together, love these videos! I was SHOCKED at the 8qt pot, I have its baby the 3qt and end up with food for days 😂. My oven has air fry setting, I’m not sold except for tofu. It makes wicked tofu, I highly suggest pulling it apart by hand into random chunks then air frying. All the jagged edges get so crisp and delicious.
This curry recipe looks perfect. I’ll be making it ASAP! I don’t make enough complete meals with the IP.
This is a debate I’ve been having internally lately lol thanks for you opinions and the info! This was a helpful video for me to make a decision on which one I want to purchase.
I have air fryer,but will bay the instant pot too:)
Long time I try to make vegetable soft and crispy,and You sed some good ideas and tips!! Thanks You!!
For vegetables I found ,that I stem (include potatoes) in water +soda for 5-6 minutes,and than put it in air fryer,it come more soft inside and crispy outsides.
My basic I slow juicer and bender ,but in winter time (live in Latvia) use more warm vegetables
I hit like on your videos before you even start speaking and then sit back and enjoy. Fav channel!!!
Just bought an instapot, can’t wait to find some recipes
Fun video & looks amazing
Here's something else to try in your Air Fryer if you haven't already - Kale Chips! Tofu and potatoes are also great, I do concur.
Awesome! How long do you put the kale in for?
@@shazeedalindemann2337 You may need to experiment with your particular model, but I start mine at around 250 for 10 minutes then add time if needed, depending on how full the basket is. Also depends on how crispy you like them. Great with a little bit of salt and nutritional yeast (with a tablespoon of olive oil). I've also dressed them with a little cashew cream and herbs before they go in. The latter approaches some of the store bought varieties. So good.
@@monikadonnelly7105 thank you , I will try that 🙏😁
I've got a toaster oven/air fryer combo, I use it almost every day. I want an instant pot too! I have so many kitchen gadgets, and I use them all!!!!
Love the air fryer for zucchini with
paprika
garlic powder
onion powder
salt
pepper
vegan parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast
Yummmmmm
Both! One of each so they can be used at the same time.
I love them both.
What!??! Choose between my Instant Pot and my Air Fryer? No way! Must have BOTH!
Wow!!! that looks sooooo gooood!!!!!! ❤
I have neither unfortunately... but one day I'll buy the instint-pot!! 🏆
Great thank you so much guys
Have both love both🤗❤❤
I like my InstantPot/AirFryer Combo! Yes, a great thing! I have two more regular InstantPots also! I use the stovetop for tortillas and oatmeal...and hardly ever use the oven now.
for the air fry potatoes, you gotta try a Lebanese spice/herb mix called Za'atar! I think the distinctive components are thyme and sumac, a lemony spice (or herb; not really sure what it is). I rarely use anything else when I roast/air fry veggies.
Thank you so much!
I want one of both! Can’t wait to get them!!
Apparently you can get the Instant Pot with an air fryer lid now. Could be worth looking into. I have both but kind of wish I had gone with a hybrid instead.
@@DH-uw3us I’m definitely going to check into that!
Nice and fun 🤩 video💪🏻
Awesome video guys 👍🍽️👍
I'm in love with my air fryer
Great vid guys thanks a lot!! What’s difficult is that the instant pot saves time but you can do most of the functions if you have a stove top/normal kitchen, where as the air fryer is more of a gadget in the sense that it does something that nothing else does.. so tough to choose, both are on my list but deffo the instant pot first! I borrowed a pressure cooker for the weekend and it changes everything to cook beans so fast
This is what I'm thinking. Seems I can cook the same meals in my crockpot that I can in an Instant Pot, albeit slower. Looks like I'm getting an Air Fryer.
I am just here for the usual good vibes from you amazing people❤️🥺
Love the Crystal videos. Yay
I agree that the InstantPot is excellent. I never knew you could soak the raw potatoes in cold water and get that change in the resistant starches for a better crisp. Chef AJ always swears by cooking them whole in her InstantPot, then sticking them in the fridge overnight. I’ll have to try your method. I really like when Crystal is in your videos, too. Keep up the great videos, guys! And, thanks for the delicious recipe!✨👏🤩🌸
Thank you for the recipe. It looks delicious. I love my instant pot because I do a lot of meal prepping. My Kids love the air fryer 🤣
Yep, Instantpot is the winner for me as well. And your videos are instant mood-lifters!!! Thank you so much :-)
Great video! I would love to have both of these, but my kitchen is simply way too small. Maybe one day haha. It was nice to see Crystal making an appearance, the color red suits her so well!
Thanks! this convinced me to get a instapot :D
Omg looks sooo good!
Watching both of you together is tons of fun. I would choose insta pot.
Just made this and it was delicious! Subbed Better than Boulion for Marmite as we're here in the UK, and used Garam masala as mixed spices. Great video guys 👍
Great comparison!
I bought an Instant Pot with an Air Fryer attachment. Best of both worlds!
I totally need to try that curry! I also ordered an instant pot air fryer lid and its supposed to come tomorrow, all the tofu
Air fryer and instant pot ! My two loves 😄
Love my instapot for the essentials, quinoa and lentils 💯
I have found to get the crispiest oil free air fryer potatoes I steam them in the Instant Pot first then put in the fridge for at least a few hours. Then I slice them into wedges and season and they cook in the Instant Pot in about 15 to 20 minutes total and get super crispy! Plus then I can prepare a bunch at the start of the week and eat them throughout in only 20 minutes. ☺️ Also I agree with you, the Instant Pot wins for me. I use it for rice, potatoes, soups, beans, everything!! But the air fryer is so fun. I have the same one as you and love it!
Why am I watching this? I have neither.
Because it's a Simnett video, that's why.
HAHA Right!!!!
