One advantage of a pressure cooker combined with an air fryer is the fact that it can create tender and juicy meals with a crisp golden finish. Pressure cooking is a much better alternative to conventional cooking as the natural flavours are retained better. It comes with accessories. These are a pressure cooker lid, an inner pot, a steam rack with handles, an air fryer basket, a dehydrating tray and a protective pad storage lid. Cleaning up afterwards is easy due to the parts that can easily be wiped and also the dishwasher safe components.
