As you probably know from spending any amount of time online, the Instant Pot ($84.56–$129.95 at Amazon) is all the rage. This magic kitchen device saves time and money by quickly doing the work of up to NINE other gadgets. Yes, you read that correctly, NINE DIFFERENT GADGETS!
It can:
- Pressure cook
- slow cook,
- sauté,
- steam,
- make cakes,
- pasteurize,
- make yogurt,
- cook rice, and
- warm
All in ONE magical electric appliance.
There’s even a Facebook community with nearly 2.6 million members sharing Instant Pot recipes, best practices and their undying love for the appliance!
Many of your favorite crockpot recipes can now be made in the Instant Pot, just much faster! For instance, a 5 ingredient crockpot chili recipe that normally takes 6-8 hours can be done in 45 minutes or less with an instant pot! To seep in the flavors set it on the slow cooker setting for the chili to be done in just 4 hours which is still quicker AND you can skip precooking the beef in it by using the saute function. I love just love my Instant Pot!
