An electric pressure cooker, also known as an Instant Pot or multi-cooker, is a kitchen appliance that uses high pressure and steam to cook food quickly and efficiently. It consists of a sealed pot with a heating element and a pressure regulator. Cooking settings can be adjusted to suit different types of food.
Electric pressure cookers are so popular because they prepare meals in a fraction of the time it would take with traditional cooking methods. You can use them to cook dishes from soups and stews to rice and pasta, and even desserts.
Besides saving time, electric pressure cookers also save energy. Food cooks faster while using less electricity than a conventional oven or stove. Additionally, the sealed cooking capsule helps to retain nutrients and flavours in the food for healthy and delicious meals. They are also much easier to operate than a stovetop pressure cooker.
Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent with a hectic schedule, or simply looking for a more efficient way to cook, an Instant Pot, multi-cooker or electric pressure cooker can be a valuable addition to your kitchen.
