New crisp lid users? Would love some reviews please

cozyseeker — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 17:03:43 GMT

I am so tempted to get one. I have put one in my cart twice and I just can't decide. The Youtube videos I have seen all seem to show the browning uneven and almost burned in spots. Also, somewhat browned but not looking great to me. I know this is a new "item" but I would love to hear from those who have tried it and hear what your honest reviews are. It also looks like the stainless basket is quite small and using it in my 8qt might not work. Would like to be able to do a whole chicken and brown in the IP without using the stainless basket.

I haven't heard of this item before. Is it something sold on QVC? If so, could you post an item #? IF there are no reviews yet, check on Amazon to see if it is sold there and if there are any reviews.

@cozyseeker Are you by any chance talking about the Ninja Foodi with the Crispy Lid?

Sorry, should have been more specific. It is the Mealthy Crisp Lid that you use with any IP 6 or 8 qt. It works like just the extra lid that browns that comes with the Ninja Foodie. I guess you could call it the poor mans answer to a Ninja. Reviews on Amazon are all good, but watching videos makes me wonder.

I ordered mine from AMZ and will get it tomorrow (Wed). It says it will work with most pc's with stainless steel pots, 6 or 8 qts. Been waiting for it to come to AMZ as I got an email in May about it. Was $49.99 with free shipping for me. Been looking at youtube about it and reading reviews--most are raving about it. Was thinking about an air fyer for a few years now, but really hate the shape of them and don't have the space to store it. I will try it and let you know. the basket may be more for french fries or onion rings that need browning on all sides. Maybe something like a tall chicken would do better on the very bottom---not sure of course, but will try that and report back. think like with everything, there is a learning curve.

I'm also considering the Mealthy crisper lid but waiting for more reviews before ordering. I'm not sure I cook the foods that need browning often enough to warrant the purchase so how people use it will be of interest to me.

@BeccaLou--not sure what you mean by removed--it seats on the steel pot snuggly; it fits the 6 and 8 qt pressure cookers, that have stainless steel inserts and there is a rim for both sizes for it to fit on top. has a handle that you push down to start it going. totally a separate piece. Got mine on Wedsnesday but haven't used it yet. I will tonight tho. will try chicken parm in it.

used mine last night for the first time---somewhat of a success. Was easy to operate and did crisp and brown but still need to work with it. Mostly operater errors not the machine.

@wagirl I am talking compared to the Foodi lid which stationary(.The New Crtisp Lid ).

Re: New crisp lid users? Would love some reviews please

wagirl — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 14:13:09 GMT

@BeccaLou---what is a foodi lid? the crisplid just turns your pressure cooker into an air fryer---you can't use it to pressure cook. Made home fries last night that were excellent.

Look up K-49354Re: New crisp lid users? Would love some reviews please

BeccaLou — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 03:40:45 GMT

@wagirl It's on the Foodi Machine. The Q sold them about a month ago. K-49354.

@wagirl Where can I find the crisp lid ? And what size air-fryer does it fit ?

Re: New crisp lid users? Would love some reviews please

wagirl — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 14:56:56 GMT

@BeccaLou----ok ---this lid fits any 6 or 8 qt pressure cooker that has a stainless steel insert--it doesn't fit any air fryers--it turns your pressure cooker into an airfryer but you can't use the pressure cooking with it on. It ts very small too. I bought mine on AMZ.

Re: New crisp lid users? Would love some reviews please

BeccaLou — Thu, 01 Aug 2019 03:30:40 GMT

@wagirl Can it be purchased through a home shopping club, or BB&B, or Target ?

Re: New crisp lid users? Would love some reviews please

wagirl — Thu, 01 Aug 2019 14:07:15 GMT

@BeccaLou-- don't think so--can get it on AMZ or the Mealthy website. Google it to check for sure.

Didn''t realize a gizmo like this existed! Thanks for the education and sharing your experiences.

Was wondering about a review on TheBigA about this lid not really being an air fryer because reviewer had unsatisfactory results cooking a chicken. Anybody want to disagree with that? Thanks for any input.

wagirl — Mon, 05 Aug 2019 14:37:05 GMT

@OooLaLa---I have this lid and have to say that if you want an airfryer than you should go that route. this lid browns and crisps things but it is very small. I have tried chick parm, not very successful, home fries, very successful and last night tried frozen sweet spud fries----medium success and brussels sprouts--pretty good too. . It has it's own cord so you don't plug the pressure cooker in at all. and the basket is on a trivet that goes half way up the p/c insert. So not really sure about it yet. I have to watch some youtube vids to see what else you can do with it. May end up sending it back, not sure.
