Why cook instant pot meals?

  • Easy to make – Everything is cooked in one pot. You might have to chop items on a cutting board, but you’re not using multiple pots and pans.
  • Saves time – The Instant Pot has many features but is commonly used as a pressure cooker. This cuts down the time it takes to cook foods, making for faster meals, which is a godsend when everyone is hungry.
  • Save money – You can make lots of meals with it to use up extra meat and leftover vegetables. Opt for you and the family to eat in instead of out.
  • Variety – The Instant Pot can cook nearly everything. It does well cooking meat dishes like pulled pork and stews but can also cook pasta and vegetables.
  • Easy to clean – The Instant Pot is easy to clean. Just wash the inner pot and the lid and wipe down the exterior. It’s ready to put away or use again.
