Our love affair with the Instant Pot runs so long and deep, it’s moved up to #1 in our hearts (psssst: don’t tell our slow cooker). We’re not usually big on kitchen gadgets, but does anyone else have a cabinet full of abandoned gimmicky gadgets that lost their luster after just a use or two? Looking at you, avocado slicer.
Confession: the Instant Pot is a totally different story. This little beauty basically lives on our countertop at this point. We just use it ALL THE TIME. Every week, multiple times a week, sometimes every day. The Instant Pot and us have been through a lot and the more we use it, the more attached we become.
FIRST THINGS FIRST – WHAT IS AN INSTANT POT?
The Instant Pot is an electric pressure cooker but also a slow cooker, yogurt maker, rice cooker, big sauté pot, steamer, and more! We have the 6-Quart Instant Pot Duo which is what we use for all our Instant Pot recipes. They also make a 3-Quart Instant Pot Mini and a hefty 8-quart Instant Pot.
This multi-function Instant Pot is a game-changer on busy nights. Most recipes are dump and cook, and all you have to do is set it all up and then WALK AWAY to do other fun stuff like watch TV, walk your dog, clean your house, have a dance party, etc. BONUS: it also cooks food 70% faster (!!!) than traditional cooking methods and it’s all done in one pot. Do you get why we love this thing yet?
If you’re still not convinced, the Instant Pot is PRIME for meal prepping and freezer meals (no thawing required!). You can check out all our freezer meal Instant Pot recipes here if you’re into that kind of stuff (answer: you definitely are).
Also very very important: we’ve heard that Instant Pots make for an awesome gift. Just sayin’.
