If you’ve been gifted an Instant Pot as a gift, you need to take advantage of everything it has to offer. Instant Pots drastically cut down on cooking time and create amazing meals full of flavor.
Benefits of an Instant Pot:
- Saves time and energy usage by up to 70% when compared to regular cooking methods
- Instant Pots retain up to 90% of vitamins when compared to boiling which causes vitamins to leech out of food
- Flavors develop much richer when in an airtight container
