An Instant Pot Replaces 7 Kitchen Appliances

The Problem

Your counter is crowded with single-purpose appliances. You have a slow cooker, rice cooker, and steamer taking up space.

The Hack

Buy an Instant Pot ($60-80 on sale). It replaces your slow cooker, rice cooker, pressure cooker, steamer, sauté function, and warming function in one device.

Why It Works

Pressure cooking cuts cooking time by 70%. A pot roast that takes 8 hours in a slow cooker takes 60 minutes. Dried beans that need overnight soaking cook from dry in 30 minutes.

Pro Tips

• The 6-quart is perfect for families of 2-4
• Rice comes out perfectly every single time
• Frozen chicken breasts to shredded chicken in 25 minutes
• The sauté function means you can brown meat before pressure cooking — one pot, no extra pans
