If pressure cookers weren’t the kitchen gadgets of 2018, they will most certainly be the thing everyone will put on their kitchen countertop in 2019. One of the best selling, affordable pressure cookers is the Instant Pot. Let’s take a look at the Lux V3 version.
What is an Instant Pot?
The Instant Pot (Lux V3) is an electric pressure cooker that’s all about convenience. The only thing you have to do is slice up some ingredients and press the right button(s). It combines the functions of a Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Sauté, Steamer, and Warmer, easily replacing a few of your existing kitchen appliances.
