WHAT IS AN INSTANT POT
An Instant Pot is a multicooker which has several cooking functions in the one appliance. I have the Duo Nova model which is 7 appliances in 1: pressure cooker, slow cooker, sauté pan, steamer, rice cooker, yoghurt maker and food warmer.
It is an amazing appliance and if you are wanting to make amazing meals for dinner, but you don’t have a lot of time, then this is the appliance for you.
It is also is great if you don’t have a lot of space in your kitchen.
