After a little research, it appears that the Meat Stick probe needs an additional "range extender/wifi bridge" in order to be used inside a metal enclosure like an oven, covered grill, Instant Pot, etc. No big deal, but it is important to know that before ordering.

Thought that might be an issue, however, without doing a scientific experiment it not only works with the Air Fryer lid, but today cooked a pork roast with the pressure lid on. I have to admit the phone was only about 10-20 feet away (sat on easy chair while food cooked). From this experience I don't believe there is a need for the extender. At least with the 2 times I have used it.
They rate it at about 130 feet, however, the biggest issue is whether there is enough of a 'hole' at the radio wavelength to allow the signal out at all. Once out the only consideration is the attenuation which apparently is high enough to keep the signal from my phone (10' away).

BTW: Pork roast came out great!

We've had one for years and use it all the time. Pulled pork, beef stroganoff, spaghetti bolognese, chili, soups of every kind, steamed potatoes and other veggies...you name it. However, we're starting to wonder about giving the version from Ninja a test run as it can also air fry.

Oooooh, that one looks exciting. I can double the number of hard boiled eggs now!

I really need to learn how to use these things, that sounds awesome!

A little googling revealed that InstantPot also makes a version that can air fry which we didn't know about until, well just now. They're definitely the better known brand in this particular space fwiw Also a little cheaper.

As it's just too cold to go outside and grill and I had chicken drumsticks out to BBQ I decided to try the instant pot. I have a 3qt Ultra and found a recipe on the web to throw various spices in, mix and cook! No idea if I did it right but this is the first time I made something other than hard boiled eggs in this thing! Well, I was pleasantly surprised. Pressure cook for 10 min, let sit for 10-15 min, then add BBQ sauce and broil in the Advantium. Meat fell off the bone, it was actually very good!

Earlier today I decided to order a 6 QT Instant Pot for the RV as I intend to do more with it. After a lot of time trying to figure out which one to get I decided on the Duo Evo Plus.

Wow, @Neal; that looks like plenty of cooking gear to do dinner for all of us at the Polson gathering in September. What's on the menu?

[Neal]

I’ll have something figured out by then. Like hard boiled eggs???

 

[TJ&LadyDi]

You can make a LOT of hard-boiled eggs in that six-quart InstantPot. We'd better invite some more people.

[Neal]

Great. I’m going to make them tomorrow and write your name on this batch [emoji16]

 

[RKins]

I predict some new mod(s) from Neal to store all these new do-dads.

LOL - I have an issue where buying things and storing things are not aligning.

 

[TJ&LadyDi]

@Neal did inquire a little while back about "stacker trailers." Could that be where he's headed?

I think a 30' double-deck might be a good place to start.

TJ

 

[Neal]

Nah, I'm putting a half dozen roof mounted storage boxes on the roof. I'm good.

 

[NWIP]

How are those going to fit with all your solar, need to rethink the stacker

 

[Neal]

Like rice fields, tiered

FTR, I love hard (really soft) boiled eggs. Over the years, I've read every expert on "how to". The easiest way is to steam them for 9.5-10 minutes for almost hard boiled and dunk in ice water...the shells fall off. I love egg salad (Martha Stewart's recipe) and it's simple to cook and peel those eggs. I eat hard boiled eggs pretty much every day for breakfast.

That said: I tried this in the Instant Pot and went with 10 minutes to get hard boiled...I watched YouTube and never got to the point of watching them cut into the egg.That would have told me that the eggs turned into rocks at that time!

Now, I'm back to basic egg cooking; stove, pan, water, lid. 9.5 minutes and I have perfect eggs to microwave to warm up. Also, I do "steam" them them, not boil. I've BTDT, not as good.

Here is a site I like: he's a chef, who's recipes are on All Recipes--Chef John, with cheeky jokes and video's on how to cook:
