Prior to the launch of Instant Pot here in the Philippines, I use my mother's old-school hand-me-down pressure cooker she acquired from my grandmother. I love the novelty of family heirlooms that survived generations, don't get me wrong. But if you know how are the pressure cooker of yesteryears - safety and all, you would understand why this girl needs some moving on.
The first time that I was introduced to Instant Pot was years ago when an aunt from Ontario let me try a delicious fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs she made in less than an hour with her Instant Pot. That time, I knew I fell in love - with both the ribs and the Instant Pot.
Now that Instant Pot is already here in the Philippines, my love continues. And the more I use it, the more I see how effective and impressive this kitchen appliance is. So in this blog post, I am going to share with you 8 Reasons Why You Should Buy An Instant Pot. Because I'm pretty sure you would love it too.
There are a lot of Instant Pot products but currently, the one that is available now in the Philippines market is the Instant Pot Duo 6qt 7-in-1 Multi-use Programmable Cooker. Hence, keep in mind that this list is referring to that particular model.
8 Reasons Why You Should Buy An Instant Pot
1. You want a smart helper in the kitchen.
Instant Pot is a multi-use programmable cooker that comes with 14 smart built-in programs. These programs are Soup/Broth, Meat/Stew, Bean/Chili, Poultry, Saute/Searing, Steam, Rice, Porridge, Multigrain, Slow Cook, Keep-Warm, Delay Cooking, Yogurt, Pressure Cook. This means you can cook several dishes with just a press of a button.
These cooking programs have been tested for optimal effect that ensures a consistent and greatly improved cooking result. And since it is smart, it can remember the way you cook - the program you used or the last customisation you had with your Instant Pot.
2. You want to save money.
As a multi-use programmable cooker, Instant Pot can replace 7 different kitchen cooking appliances altogether. Instant Pot can function as a Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Saute/Stearing, Yogurt Maker, and Warmer. So instead of acquiring these bunch of appliances, you can rely on Instant Pot to do all the work. If that is not saving bunch of money, I don't know what is.
3. You want to save space.
You live in a small condo where kitchen space is limited but you still want to create delicious fancy schmancy meals. Or let's say you're a minimalist and you only want few things in your life that functions well. Let me tell you, Instant Pot can spark your joy - it is the answer for your space woes.
As previously mentioned, Instant Pot can perform the task that 7 other different kitchen appliances can do. So you can ditch some of them, stick with Instant Pot, and you don't have to worry where to put what in your limited kitchen space.
4. You want to save time and energy.
Instant Pot speeds up cooking by 2 to 6 times using up to 70% less energy? Yes, it's a rockstar in that league. Imagine you could enjoy a delicious fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs in less than an hour cooking time - that is impossible when using traditional stove top cooking method, right?
5. You are all for safety.
So there are several horror stories about use of pressure cooker back in the days, and clearly you don't want to be included in that unfortunate statistic. With proper use of Instant Pot, safety is guaranteed.
As a matter of fact, Instant Pot has 10 Safety Mechanism to ensure that it eliminates common errors which can be hazardous. These safety mechanism are namely Pressure Regulator, Anti-Blockage Vent, Safety Lid Lock, Lid Position Detection, Automatic Temperature Control, Temperature Monitoring, Pressure Control, Electrical Current and Temperature Fuse, Pressure Protection, and Smart Detection of Leaky Lid.
Safe to say that gone are the days when news contains a story of pressure cooker that explodes in the face of its owner.
6. You are all for quality.
Aside from my aunt who introduces me to Instant Pot, I have several relatives and friends in Canada and the States that swear by the quality of Instant Pot. When use properly as intended, it can last for years and years.
Also, it is comforting to know that Instant Pot is a brainchild of a great guy named Robert Wang who has Ph.D. in Computer Science and a background in Artificial Intelligence. If you read several of his interviews on the web, you would know that this guy is all about creating products that solves concerns of the consumers hence, he is all about the quality.
7. You love to create good and healthy food.
Instant Pot's inner cooking pot is made from stainless food grade 304 which means it has no chemical coating and its 3-ply bottom assures even heat distribution avoiding burning of food. Its fully sealed environment traps the flavors, the aromas, and especially the nutrients inside as you cook your food. Yes, it preserves nutrients in food effectively.
8. You want a revolutionary kitchen appliance at a reasonable price.
Instant Pot Duo 6qt 7-in-1 Multi-use Programmable Cooker here in the Philippines is priced at Php 6,995. Very reasonable considering all the things it can do in your kitchen. It's a good investment I highly recommend.
These 8 good reasons why you should buy an Instant Pot are just the few ones on top of my head. Trust me, there are several other more reasons why investing in an Instant Pot is well worth it. But I hope somehow these made an impact because I am pretty sure that once you got your own Instant Pot, your life in the kitchen will be so much more easy and fun.
