Unitaskers in the kitchen, we all have them, we swore we’d use them but alas, they end up in the back of a drawer or deep in the cupboard only to be found when we move. Enter the Instant Pot, many think it’s just a crockpot but in fact, it can replace several of your existing appliances!
What can it replace? (This depends on the specific model purchased)
- Pressure Cooker
- Slow Cooker
- Rice Cooker
- Steamer
- Sauté
- Yogurt Maker
What has it helped us do:
- Make less of a mess in the kitchen since we no longer overcook/burn any food
- Take frozen salmon from the freezer to the dinner plate in less than 20 minutes
- Eliminate purchasing precooked products like beans since the cooking time for dried beans has been cut in half
- Reduce electricity usage (we don’t heat up the house when cooking in the summer)
- Overall, just turn hours of cooking into minutes
Here are a few of our favorite recipes:
