The Benefits of an Instant Pot
An Instant Pot is a type of electric pressure cooker that cooks food up to 70% faster than other cooking methods. It has 7 functions: Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Yogurt Maker, Steamer, and Warmer. The Instant Pot can be used as a slow cooker or rice cooker at the same time.
Some of the benefits of an Instant Pot are: it saves time and money by cooking food in less time; it reduces the amount of energy needed to cook food; it has a stainless steel pot, which is durable and easy to clean; it is safer than traditional cooking methods because there is no risk of open flame or hot pot handles.
