HOW DOES CRISPLID ACTUALLY WORK
The main housing of Crisplid has a heating unit, control panel, handle, vents, heating elements, fan and stainless steel cover over the heating element and fan. The heating unit and control panel is situated on a glass lid. Just like any Air Fryer, Crisplid cooks food by circulating hot air around the food to make it
Here's how Mealthy Crisplid works in pressure cooker to cook food.
- Air Frying without using a pressure cooker: Place trivet and the cooking basket with food in the pressure cooker inner stainless steel pot.
- Cooking food using Crisplid after pressure cooking: Once the food is cooked after completing the pressure cooker cycle, you can use Crisplid to make the food crispier or for melting the cheese.
Crisplid has a security feature that it will only work when the handle is lowered. It will not work if the handle is up, works as a precautionary measure in case you are moving the Crisplid, etc.
Cooking Temperature
You can cook from range 300 to 500 °F with increment of 25 degrees. To prevent overheating, temperature above 450 °F have a maximum cook time 20 minutes. As a safety measure you have to wait at least 10 minutes before cooking for more on 450 °F.
Cooking Time
Temperature below 450 °F have a maximum cook time of 60 minutes. This means you can adjust the timer from 1 minute to 60 minutes for the temperature at or below 450 °F. But for temperature above 450 ° F, the maximum cook time is 20 minutes.
Pause Cooking
Lift the handle to pause cooking. Press the handle back into place and press the play (triangle) button to resume cooking. Crisplid will remember your place within the cooking cycle for a few seconds after you lift your handle. But if you don't put the handle back after an extended period of time then Crisplid will restart back to default.
In case of food not cooking properly, you can remove the lid after pausing the time by using stop (square) button and flip the food using tong. Or you can also remove using handle. The timer will start once you lock the handle back.
RECIPES THAT I'VE TRIED
This is a new gadget I recently received from Mealthy and hence haven't tried many recipes. I was first overwhelmed by it. But finally, I started trying it. I began by trying the recipes that I know turn out great in an Air Fryer.
I start with the obvious choice of Potato Fries. I have some frozen fries in my refrigerator, so I just popped them on the basket over the trivet in my pressure cooker and cooked it for 12- 15 minutes using Crisplid. And they turned out extra crispy and tasty.
I also tried Baked Potatoes. Let me tell you that I've cooked them in my Electric Pressure Cooker and Conventional Oven and also in my Air Fryer. But the taste is far better than what I've made in any of these. The crust was
My husband sometimes eats Baked Potatoes from some deli near his workplace. And he said these Baked Potatoes taste a lot like those. And what is more encouraging than your husband praising your cooking over a Deli recipe.
And lastly, I've tried to cook Falafel using Crisplid. Earlier also I prefer to air-fry Falafel instead of frying them. So I thought to cook them in Crisplid. The crust came out super crispy and doesn't even taste like air fried, in my opinion, tastes close to the fried ones.
CONCLUSION
Based on my experience with all the recipes that I have tried, I would surely recommend the product. I really liked using it and enjoy the taste of all the dishes. I will try to make more recipes using Crisplid and also post the recipes. Please do check to try my other recipes.
For making food in smaller quantity, Crisplid is perfect. Anyone who has 6Qt or 8QT
