T he Instant Pot is a programmable electric pressure cooker that is sure to revolutionize your cooking experience forever. In addition to pressure cooking, it can be used as a slow cooker, rice cooker, stove, steamer, yogurt maker, and saut pan. Using an Instant Pot, you can prepare delicious meals in less than 15 minutes without worrying if you have the right kitchen appliances for it.

Pressure cooker has been around for several decades, but the Instant Pot is designed to eliminate common errors that may cause harm to consumers. It has a pressure regulator that only allows pressure below the safety limit and is fitted with a safety lid lock that stops you from opening the lid by accident. The pot regulates the temperature inside based on the program you select.

C ook faster If you're not familiar with the mechanics of a pressure cooker, they're pretty simple. The food is cooked inside a pot at high heat, and the steam that builds up inside that sealed environment conducts all the cooking. Because the Instant Pot is a sealed container, the temperature of the liquids in the pot can exceed that of boiling water.

Because the food is in a hotter environment, it cooks faster. This pressure cooker can prepare steel-cut oats in 10 minutes or less. Chicken breasts can be cooked in 8 minutes. Easy to use The menu interface on the front of the Instant Pot has settings that are similar to a microwave oven, and is very easy to use. For example, the saut function caramelizes meat and vegetables evenly and does this in record time. If a recipe calls for searing meat first and then slow cooking it afterwards, you can do this easily with the pot.

Instant Pot makes it possible for home cooks to create complex meals in just one pot. For many of us, this also means not having to wash too many pots after dinner. In addition, cleaning the pot is a breeze and you won't need to exert too much effort when scrubbing it down. Preservation of the nutritional value of food The longer you cook food, the more you're cooking off valuable ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Instant Pot cooking will not do that to your food. Since the pot is designed to evenly distribute steam, there is no need to immerse food in water.

All you have to do is fill the bottom of the pot with enough water to create steam. This helps tremendously when it comes to preserving nutrients in the food, which water otherwise washes away. Environment friendly Environmentalists also love this kitchen appliance because it is energy efficient. It can save up to 70 percent of your kitchen's average consumption.

I nstant Pot buttons There are manual settings, as well as a full range of pre-selected cooking routines that you can program with the push of a single button. A timer can even delay the start time for up to 24 hours.
