How to choose
Capacity for a large fryer
Capacity is the number that decides a large fryer. The deime holds 6.2 qt, the Instant Pot holds 6 qt and the Ninja holds 4 qt in its large container, plus a 6-cup container for smaller meals. Compare the basket size with the portions you cook at once: the Instant Pot handles up to 6 portions, and the deime serves 2 to 5 people in one go.
Functions and controls compared
The deime has 8 presets, the Instant Pot has 6 cooking functions and the Ninja has 4 functions. A preset picks time and temperature for a dish, while a temperature control lets you set the heat yourself: the Instant Pot adjusts from 95 to 400°F, the Ninja reaches 450°F and the deime reaches 400°F. All three use touch controls, and the Instant Pot adds a touchscreen that shows each cooking stage.
Cleanup and storage
The Instant Pot basket goes in the dishwasher. The Ninja glass containers, crisper plates, adapter and lids go in the dishwasher too. The Ninja pod nests inside its containers, so the set stores in one stack instead of loose parts. The deime basket is nonstick with a removable rack, so wipe the rack and basket after cooking.
