What are the advantages of using pressure cooker?
First, let’s start with the facts:
Pressure cooker needs time to build pressure inside the pot before it can actually start cooking. For some meals it is also safer to wait until the pot drops its pressure naturally.
This is an extra time you have to count on, and this time is not usually stated in recipes (if you check my recipe cards, you will always find a sentence or two about this in the notes section).
Many people get put off by this, but it’s important to remember that in order to cook something in the oven you need to pre-heat it (For example: My oven takes literally 20 minutes to preheat unlike the instant pot that takes usually about 10 minutes to come to pressure).
With instant pot, you also save energy but more importantly there is no “babysitting” of the pot needed. Once you set up everything, you can just disappear, and the pot will let you know when your meal is ready. It even keeps your food warm for hours.
Also, pressure cookers were originally developed mainly for speeding up the cooking process of meals that usually take hours to cook (i.e. pulled pork) because even with the extra time it is still quicker to make and the meats don’t dry out.
I absolutely love cooking with instant pot and in summer, I use it more often than the stove top. Why? Because it does not heat up my kitchen like the oven/stove top do.
