How To Use Your Instant Pot eBook

A lot of people struggle to get comfortable with their Instant Pot. Since the Instant Pot is closed while it’s cooking, it’s a bit more of a myster than other cooking methods like since stove top and slow cooking where you can check in on the cooking process as you cook your meals. With an electric pressure cooker you have to dump it all in and let things take their course.
