Courtesy of Amazon, an Instant Pot is a pressure cooker, slow-cooker, rice cooker, and yogurt maker all in one package. It has many different modes but it primarily acts as an electric pressure cooker. Pressure cookers work on one simple principle: under pressure, the water inside an Instant Pot can boil at up to 120°C (instead of the usual 100°C), which cooks food way, way faster. It speeds up cooking by up to 10 times using up to 70% less energy.
