What is an instant pot?

An Instant Pot is a multi-cooker that acts in multiple ways as multiple appliances. The main selling point of this product is that it cooks meals as fast as possible when used as a pressure cooker.

At this point, you might be wondering what makes owning an Instant Pot beneficial? Fortunately, I’ve got a few reasons why so many people love this handy kitchen appliance. Here are a few major benefits of cooking with an Instant Pot.

Saving time

One of the main benefits of an Instant Pot is that it saves you time in the kitchen. This device features a fully insulated inner pot, which means it requires less energy than more traditional cooking methods to heat up. Also, since an Instant Pot doesn’t require lots of water, it boils liquids faster. Because of these features, an Instant Pot can reduce cooking times by as much as 70%.

Retaining vitamins and nutrients

As you cook in the kitchen, it’s important to retain vitamins and nutrients from your foods. However, boiling food for long periods can cause your food to lose these important vitamins and minerals. Fortunately, the fast cooking time of an Instant Pot helps ensure you retain up to 90% of your food’s vitamins and nutrients.
