Mealthy CrispLid 220v - Air Fry, Crisp or Broil on Your Electric Pressure Cooker with SS Liner, fits 6 & 8 Quart. Has Air Frying Basket, Trivet, Mat, Tongs, UK & EU power chord plus Free Recipe App.

I was tempted to buy the Instant Pot Duo Crisp but since I already had an instant pot I didn't want to ditch the old 6 quart one just for the sake of it. Instant Pot do their own crisp lid but so far it's only available in the US and only 110V versions. After a bit of research I found that Meathy do their own crisp lid but could only see US versions again.I then noticed 220v versions so bought quickly before all the stock ran out. I'm not disappointed by my purchase at all. If you are a family you could probably do with a bigger air fryer but for the 3 of us its absolutely fine. There's no dehydrator on this one but I can't really me using this function that often. So far I've cooked all the bad stuff ie chip, sausages, bacon and they have turned out really well. I did a roast chicken last week by pressure cooking then crisping off and although I need to tweak the times a bit the chicken came out lovely and moist. I see the US now have a new version with dehydrate functions on so if they ever make a 220V one then I would recommend this for a small family.

It fits nicely on top of my Instant Pot. It is easy to use the timer and temperature control. It is also easy to clean the glass area but after first use, brownish spots have started to appear on the heating element. It's not easy to clean this part. I supposed this is unavoidable as the food is quite near to the heating element when the Mealthy lid is used.I have cooked chicken drumsticks and chicken wings, a whole baby chicken, chips, brown top side of pork shoulder all without added oil. So for this reason alone, the Mealthy is good to have especially if you already own an Instant Pot.

Can't say I had too high expectations, mainly bought it to be able to brown food off (like a lasagne) after pressure cooked it...and for that it works just great... Also got addicted to grilled sandwiches after getting the CrispLid! :) Doing fish has worked fine too, both frozen ready breaded fish and own made breaded fish.The negatives this far on my part would be that making own fries has been a real disappointment (might be picky since I had a Actifry for several years), frozen fries does get better but still not really pleased.But in general I think it's worth it's money and a good compliment to an pressure cooker especially if you usually just cook for one or two persons.

NB at the time of writing (April, 2020) Mealthy are still selling the original CrispyLid in the UK. Check Amazon USA or the Mealthy website for changes made in the newer version which, in summary, has 5 dehydrate settings and a deeper basket.I use this for browning hams, beef joints, kebabs etc, cooked in the Instant Pot, which it does to perfection. It's what I bought it for. It is superb!For general airfrying I use my Philips Airfryer, which I personally prefer for cooking chips or even fish and chips together, burgers, sausages, bacon etc.Why two tools to do seemingly the same job? Because I feel that airfying fries and bundles of food that need rotating, are best done in a dedicated appliance with a basket you can shake.But this if you want to brown off or heat up items within an Instant pot, this is a great addition.

Since the Mealthy crispy lid arrived I have used it every day. I cooked a chicken in my electric pressure cooker and used the crispy lid for crisping it up, I also did jacked potatoes on the pressure cooker which I have not done before as I like a crispy skin. The crispy lid made them nice and crispy. Some nice recipes in the book that comes with it and very easy instructions on how to use the lid. The lid fits very good on my pressure cooker. The crispy lid works like the lid on a halogen cooker ( I have one which will now not be used) but is so much easier to use as you can cook in the pressure cooker and then crisp or brown in the same pot and no heavy bowls to lift.I am so pleased that I got the Mealthy crispy lid...

This thing is amazing. I already have an Air Fryer so I might not be using this lid as much as I would otherwise. I have to say that it's very pretty when it's working and it crisps just as nicely as my main Air Fryer. There are a handful of helpful videos on YouTube (which I am sure will grow) as well as Mealthy's website for ideas on what to do with this.The accessories included are actually quite high quality, so I am impressed with those as well.One thing I've realised is that the minimum temperature on this is 150C which means that I still need my main Air Fryer to make my slow 'fried' sausages which need a lower temperature. I might need to experiment by lowering the basket by using a shorter trivet...However, that aside, I would recommend this Crisping Lid.

A surprisingly effective little device that effectively makes your instant pot a little counter top oven. Functions as a grill, an air fryer and even a fan assisted oven and all using a fraction of the electricity of a standard oven, so excellent environmental credentials also. I’m surprised that they don’t push the low energy use more in their marketing. There are literally thousands of recipes online but two of my favourite uses are for browning and crisping Instant Pot Faux Rotisserie Chicken and finishing off an Instant Pot lasagne. Also makes very convincing “oven” chops be they fresh or frozen and you can cook crispy roast potatoes by pressure cooker and then Mealthy Lid in about 20 minutes. Worth every penny so just buy one!

I love that this lid is very light and has a glass rim so you can see what you are cooking. It turns your pressure cooker into an air fryer so now you can pressure cook a chicken in less than half an hour and then crisp up the skin. Also works as an air fryer on its own and is easy to store in a cupboard if you are short of work top space as it is quite compact.
