Instant Pot

The Instant Pot officially hit the market in 2010 and experienced a very quick rise to popularity. By 2012, Instant Pot was gaining recognition for its clever, easy to use design and became a common household name. The success of this product was well deserved, with this kitchenware appliance helping you to prepare healthy meals in record time. Instant Pot boasts incredible functionality, able to do the jobs of multiple appliances. The brand initially started with just one product, designed to be both a pressure cooker and a slow cooker. Fast forward to present day, Instant Pot has now expanded their range to include air fryers, accessories and advanced versions of their original multicooker.
