    Recipe sounds great but I have an instant pot with an air fryer lid, how would I go about making this with my air fryer?

    1. I’ve not got an Instant Pot with an air fryer lid, just an air fryer, so I’m afraid I can’t tell you, I wish I had the money and the space to have all the devices to test the recipes in! Please let me know if you try it in your IP and let me know how you got on.
