Here are below reasons “why should i buy instant pot when i have a pressure cooker”:
- The first and top most reason is it has a base made of stainless steel.Which has really impressed me.It been more than 3 years im staying away from nonstick utensils.I have been substituting with cast iron or stainless steel.Lodge is my favourite cast iron brand and i recommend it anytime.
- Delay timer – i can just load my instant pot and go for a shopping or even early breakfast is ready without any interventions.Which is very safe i do this almost all weekends .My family can have a healthy homemade food.
- Zero monitoring – Everyday when i put my toddler to nap,i can spend time with my baby telling stories whereas instant pot take care of my cooking and also no whistle noise like pressure cooker which helps my baby to sleep .
