One of the most popular gadgets for homeowners. Following on from my post yesterday I thought it would be good to give you a quick introduction to the Instant Pot for those who asked.
WHAT IS THE INSTANT POT?
The Instant Pot (or Instapot) is an electric, multi-use programmable pressure cooker.
INSTANT POT MODELS
The Instant Pot makes ‘one-pot cooking’ super easy because it replaces a lot of other appliances. It isn’t just one appliance, but 6, 7, 9, or 10 depending on which model you own.
The Instant Pot Duo Plus 7-in-1 and Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 models are the most popular. The 7-in-1 model (the one I own) performs all the functions below:
Pressure Cooker
Slow Cooker
Rice/Porridge Cooker
Steamer
Sauté
Yoghurt Maker
Warmer
The 9 in 1 model performs two additional functions:
Cake/Egg Maker
Sterilize (good for canning, baby bottles, etc.)
There is also an Ultra10 in 1 model (performs an extra ‘ultra’ temperature control) and Lux 6-in-1 model (no Yoghurt function). Each of the Instant Pot models also come in different sizes.
Why you will love the Instant Pot
It cooks meals so fast - great for weeknight cooking
You can cook meats from frozen.
It is great for super busy people - as you can dump stuff and walk away.
You can cook for a crowd… or just cook for yourself.
It will save space in your kitchen as it replaces up to 10 appliances.
