Your mom has one. Your boss has one. If you're reading this right now, you either have one already (and have no idea how to work the contraption) or just ordered one (and can't wait to tear open the packaging and start cooking right away).
The humble 6-in-1 Instant Pot was first introduced in 2012, and its popularity quickly led the company to make the Duo 7-in-1 version, which now graces the countertops of enthusiastic home cooks nationwide and has more than 22,000 five-star Amazon reviews. 300,000 Instant Pots were ordered on Prime Day 2018 alone, proving that the hype has only gathered steam over the years.
That's not all too surprising because the multi-use electric pressure cooker provides fantastic value for its price: it's fast, convenient, and versatile. But its accompanying manual and recipe booklet leave much to be desired.
