NuWave Duet Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer

The unit comes with two separate, specialized lids. You use the pressure lid for cooking under pressure and the air fry lid for crisping, which allows you to switch functions easily during the cooking process for recipes that require both.

The inner pot is made of heavy-duty 18/10 stainless steel, which is durable and non-reactive, but it is not a non-stick surface. While it is excellent for searing and browning, you may need to use a bit of oil or fat to prevent sticking, similar to cooking with a standard stainless steel pan.

The delay timer is primarily designed for slow cooking and pressure cooking functions where food safety is managed by the sealed environment. It is not recommended to use the delay timer for air frying or functions that require immediate attention to prevent food spoilage.

Yes, the stainless steel inner pot and the removable accessories are dishwasher safe. However, the lids—especially the air fry lid with its heating element—should be cleaned according to the manual's instructions to protect the electronic components.

The 6-quart capacity is generally sufficient for a family of four to six people, depending on the meal. It is well-sized for standard roasts, whole chickens, or large batches of soups and stews.

These features include mechanisms like Sure-Lock technology, which prevents the lid from opening while the unit is pressurized, and automatic temperature sensors that prevent overheating. They are designed to make high-pressure cooking safer and more foolproof for home cooks.
