The Instant Pot: Reasons And Recipes That’ll Make You Love It

The Instant Pot: Reasons And Recipes That’ll Make You Love It

There is a lot of hype surrounding the Instant Pot. Some people view it as another kitchen appliance that will take up too much space in the kitchen. And for those who have slow cookers, they don’t see how the Instant Pot differs. The Instant Pot is not a slow cooker; rather, it is a magical cooking device that is the fusion of a rice cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, and an electric pressure cooker.

Whether you want to make black bean hummus, mashed potatoes, cakes, or chili, the Instant Pot is the tool for you. The beauty of this device is that it can do the work of a slow cooker in a fraction of the time. Since the Instant Pot uses pressure to cook food quickly and evenly, your food can retain up to 90% of its water-soluble vitamins. Boiling or slow cooking, on the other hand, completely depletes the nutritional value of your food.

Save Time When Cooking

Are you trying to cook some lentils? The Instant Pot will impart intense flavor and cook them completely in 15 minutes, and there’s no soaking required. The inner pot (the cooking chamber) is fully insulated, so the Instant Pot doesn’t need to use as much energy. Additionally, an electric pressure cooker doesn’t use as much liquid as regular cooking methods, so any soup or liquid will boil faster.

It’s Very Safe

Some people have a valid fear of pressure cookers. They envision the top exploding into their ceiling from all the built up pressure in the pot. This is not the case for the Instant Pot, which has numerous safety features that regulate internal pressure or whether the lid is locked or not. If the cover is not firmly clamped, it will not take on pressure. Plus, there are numerous settings on the device that cater to your cooking needs.

Enhances The Flavors Of Your Food

When you cook in a pan or open container, your food is exposed to heat and oxygen. This combination can actually diminish the flavors and colors of your food. When you cook the food in a pressurized chamber, you saturate it with steam, which allows the food to retain the inherently vibrant colors and nutrients. The pressure also helps to develop flavors in a shorter amount of time than if you were to cook the same meal in a stovetop setting.
