      They lost my sale when i realized you can't air fry and pressure cook at the same time. Way over priced for what it can and can't do. Also, the grill plate makes grill marks look like crap. Should have went with a diamond pattern.

      I'll stick to my instant pot, and Air Fryer XL w/rotisserie basket.

      I'm posting to follow this thread. I'm curious of other people's experiences with the Foodi as well. I want one and I've seen good reviews, but its always nice to hear of real people using it and what their experiences are like.

      LOVE IT!! I use mine almost every day. I love how I can make roasted chicken in 20ish minutes. Cook food from frozen if I forget to take something out. And the air frying finish is good. Plus it has other functions like the steamer and slow cooker.

      Had mine about a week. Still trying to learn the idiosyncrasies of it. I'm finding I have to adjust the recipes that came with it. Had to add more water to make the rice tender. Can't cook vegetables with the meats. Most of the recipes call to broil or air fry the meat which dries out or burns the vegetables. Next adventure is cooking pasta. Will increase the liquid in it too to make it tender. Haven't tried the slow cooker or steamer yet. Do like that it shortens my cooking time. Interested in hearing others tips and opinions.

      I'm not sure it would even be possible to pressure cook and air fry at the same time. One is based on pressurized steam doing the cooking and the other is using the circulation of air to create a crispier texture than you would otherwise achieve.

      Edit: Oops, someone already pointed that out.

      I just ordered one yesterday, @Chef_Barbell, based on your comments throughout the threads. And got it for $90, B) . What should I try to make first?

      I ended up getting one too, so far my favourite has been beef jerky (mine has the dehydrator function), air fried (fresh made) hamburgers and pressure cooked stew!
