With a safety lid lock, magnetic lock, and detection of a leaky lid, this pressure cooker is one of the safest to use in the kitchen – especially if you have little ones.
Plus, it won’t steam up your kitchen and make it hotter on those warmer days. There’s a safety feature that protects against excess pressure. But it also has a feature that prevents the cooking temperature from getting too hot.
This is thanks to the automatic warning indicator when the temperature starts rising higher than it should be. The stainless steel interior is nonstick and easy to clean.
The exterior of the pot doesn’t get hot while it’s cooking the food, so that’s another safety measure they put in place. It also cooks really fast. You can have a meal ready to go in less than hour (sometimes even 30 minutes).
Or you can use the 24 hour timer to have things ready in advance so that when you’re hungry, the meal is ready. By using this pressure cooker, you can shave up to 70% off the time it normally takes to cook your favorite meals.
Since it’s a 6-in-1, it’s not just a pressure cooker, but a rice cooker, slow cooker, sauté, warmer, and steamer also. It’s great for making rice, meats, soups, chicken, chili, and more.
It seals very well and it turns off automatically so you don’t have to worry about it if you leave the house. All you have to do with this cooker is put the food in it, set it for the time you desire, and press start.
It also has an automatic stand-by heat setting to keep things warm so that you avoid spoiling your food. This Instant Pot cooker is easy to use and vegetables are cooked in less time than it takes to cook them with traditional cookware.
There are many health benefits for owning one of these cookers. Foods that are cooked in a shorter amount of time keep more of their nutrients. When you pressure cook your food, you save 90-95% of the vitamins and minerals in the food versus boiling which only retains 40-75% of the nutrients.
Meats are cooked without fats in a pressure cooker, making it a healthier choice for your heart and body while still allowing you to enjoy meat. It ends up more tender than other cooking methods, too.
Even if you’re going to cook a meal such as beef stew, you can pressure cook the beef in just about 20 minutes and then add it to your stew. Your beef tips will be tender and complete done so that all you have to do is warm up your vegetables!
