On page 24 of the owners guide the helpful tips number three when switching from pressure cooking to using the crispinn lid it is recommended to empty the pot of any remaining liquid for the best crisping results. Nobody is saying this on KZfaq.

I have been using mine for over a year and I must say, IT IS THE GREATEST GADGET I HAVE EVER BOUGHT! It makes the best jasmine rice, pot roast, chicken nuggets (for the kids, wink), chicken wings, ribs, fried rice, chili, HARD BOILED EGGS (yes the best I have ever made), the list goes on. I have put mine through the ringer with every recipe on purpose to see what it can do, it can do it all. Say goodbye to a crock pot that takes 8 hours when you get the same results in 1 or less. I am not part of their company , just a big fan!

I hated kitchen gadgets for this same reason. I know it's not feasible for everyone but the wife and I have a small storage room in the basement and I bought one of those industrial metal food service racks from Lowe's for like $55 and all of our crock pots and other kitchen gadgets are on that and we just run down and grab what we need when we want to use it and put it back after clean up. Is it a pain in the butt running down to the basement to grab one? Yes, but way less of a pain to try and jam them somewhere in the kitchen with the limited storage space!
