I don’t have an instant pot, yet. I’m waiting for the prices to come down. I don’t have an air fryer, either, but I make homemade fries via the America’s Test Kitchen method of starting with cold oil, and as long as I thoroughly rinse my potato strips before I fry them, they come out really crispy and not greasy, even if I reuse oil and make a bunch instead of a single layer. Works best in a deep skillet, rather than a deep saucepan.
We’ve run out of space for ‘gadgets’, so haven’t tried the air-fryer. What is it really good for? (We’re not concerned about ‘low fat’, so I’ve wondered if it would be of use to us.)
