Overview
Nuwave's Duet Deluxe swaps between three lids to turn one 6 quart stainless pot into a pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker or sear station, aimed at consolidating several countertop appliances into one.
This is a multicooker built around lid-swapping rather than a single fixed function, despite sitting in a pressure cooker category. Its headline Combo Cook mode pressure cooks first, then finishes under the air fry lid for a browned exterior. The 540 figure on the box combines 300 presets with 240 memory slots rather than describing 540 separate cooking modes.
- 3 removable lids swap between pressure, air fry and slow cook
- 18/10 triple thick stainless inner pot, non coated
- 300 one touch presets plus 240 memory slots
- Includes recipe book and Nuwave Cooking Club app access
Who it's for
Suits households that want pressure cooking, air frying and slow cooking from a single pot and don't mind managing multiple lids and accessories. Not for anyone who wants one simple function with minimal parts.
