Instant Pots
The Instant Pot is a multi-use cooking appliance that does the job of a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice steamer and even a yogurt-maker. It’s helped bring back the art of pressure cooking — without that old-days fear of kitchen explosions.
You’ll have to spend a decent amount to pick up a new pot, but here’s a secret: Many of those who were given an IP for the holidays never quite got over that old pressure-cooker nervousness and didn’t even take it out of the box.
If you prowl the small-appliance section of your local thrift store, you may see a lineup of brand-spanking-new Instant Pots in various sizes. Bon appetit!
