The Beginners Guide to the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker

T he Instant Pot pressure cooker is an electronically controlled multi-cooking device that is designed to help users prepare tasty, delicious meals using pressure and slow cooking techniques. The Instant Pot pressure cooker belongs to a family of multi-cookers owned by a Canadian company and it's designed as a one-stop multi-cooking device for most families. The first product of the Instant pot range of multi-cookers was launched in 2010. Ever since then, many other multi-cooker models, with additional functionalities, have been introduced and have grown become a main-stay in most homes in North America and the world at large.

Why is there so much crave for the Instant Pot?

T he answer is pretty simple. The mad rush for the Instant Pot range of multi-cookers is simply due to the cutting edge technology behind it. Imagine cutting your regular cooking time in half or by as much as 60%, you know what that means when you have hungry kids preparing to go to school early in the morning. Or you have a hungry spouse that needs to be in the office as early as 7 am, you can't afford to waste time preparing their meals so they don't get late to work and earn a query from their boss.

This Kitchen gadget lets you cook extremely fast using its pressure cooking functionality, or slow cook, using its slow cooking feature. Another important reason why many people love the Instant Pot pressure cooker is that they can program the device to cook, while they attend to other important activities. The programmable feature of the instant pot is very helpful for busy people who need to multi-task as well as attend other important activities.

Instant Pot Pressure Cookers and Safety

T he Instant Pot is one of the safest pressure cookers you can find in the world due to the safety features as well as the electronically programmable functions built into it. You can't go wrong when using the Instant pot with regards to safety, as there are several safety features all acting as redundancies to each other.

One of the most notable safety features of the Instant Pot is the two safety catches attached to the lid. One of which acts as a lock mechanism that prevents the opening of the Instant Pot when it's in operation, and the other acts as an automatic excess pressure release mechanism. If for any reason the pressure release mechanism fails to function as designed, an extra layer of safety feature activates and shuts off the heating element, especially when an excess build of pressure has been detected.
