What is an Instant Pot?

An Instant Pot is a multi-function appliance that works mainly as a pressure cooker, but also as a slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, and food warmer. The Instant has a sauté mode that allows you to sauté veggies and brown meat which makes it super convenient because you don’t have to dirty up additional pans. Because it is electric, it is safer to use than a regular pressure cooker that uses the stovetop. Just plug your Instant Pot like you would do with your slow cooker.
