What Is An Instant Pot?

First of all, it's a favourite cooking appliance in millions of kitchens!

Instant Pots are a brand of electric pressure cookers or multicookers. Pressure cookers work by creating heat under a tight seal, so the temperature is much higher than the boiling point of water and the steam can't escape. The steam cooks food much more quickly than traditional stovetop or oven cooking.

An Instant Pot is a brand of pressure cooker or multicooker. It eliminates the guesswork and the fear of the type of pressure cooker your mom may have had.

Pressure cookers create heat under an airtight seal. The steam created from the high temperature cooks food much more quickly than cooking on the stovetop or oven. Food cooked in an Instant Pot is often more flavourful. Another advantage is that you can sear food or brown onions in the Instant Pot before you add liquid.
