Hello dear friends,
We hear from people every day who have gotten an Instant Pot or pressure cooker but are too intimidated to use it. We were there too! Our instant pots collected dust in a corner before they became our favorite cooking appliance.
We totally get it if you don't know where to start. If this is you, or you could just use some Instant Pot inspiration, we hope this episode will help you out!
And if you don't own a pressure cooker yet, we highly recommend getting an Instant Pot, stat! It can be life changing. You can often find used secondhand instant pots if a new one is out of your budget.
In this episode, we talk about why a pressure cooker is a life saver! From tips to tricks, recipes to hacks, we explore the life of a pressure cooker connoisseur (that’s us, lol!).
We hope you enjoy this episode,
