Pressure Cookers

If you have a pressure cooker, check to make sure it's not a recalled brand.

After using my Instant Pot for nearly four years, I decided to write a follow-up review. Here's what I think about the Instant Pot all these years later.

With prices so low, you definitely don't want to miss this sale!

On sale it is, we said!

Whether you're interested in a stovetop or an electric pressure cooker, we'll go over the basics.

You'll never have to dig into a bowl of mushy, undercooked, or even scorched rice ever again!

As we walk in the door at 5:45 p.m., the most stressful part of our day begins. Jonas, my 16-month-old, instantly starts banging his little fist against his open mouth signing that he wants to eat. Darby, my three-year-old, runs in asking, “Can you make me a ‘pecial dinner, Mama?” It is a mad rush to find something nutritious to serve them fast — berries, carrots, yogurt, cheese, and whole wheat pasta are frequently seen on their plates. It is all I can muster.

I got a pressure cooker long before I started thinking about kids, back when I was just a busy person who loved being able to cook quick weeknight dinners. Then I had a baby and realized that a pressure cooker is even more essential for new parents, with uses I never even thought about before I had an infant.

I love my Instant Pot, I really do. Even as a professional chef, getting one in my home kitchen really was a game-changer. Perfectly cooked, no-soak beans every time! Homemade nutrient-dense bone broth in 45 minutes! Fluffy rice! Homemade yogurt! Perfect hard-boiled eggs … for 20 people! The list could go on and on, but I’ll let you in on a little secret: I still love my slow cooker, too. Let me tell you why.

Too hot to turn on the oven? Don't sweat it!
