Capable of baking, frying, roasting, and slow cooking in record time, instant pots really are like the Swiss Army knife of the kitchen. Still, these versatile appliances are not ideal for cooking everything. Here are some items to avoid cooking in an instant pot.

Burgers

While ground beef will not necessarily cause any damage to your pot, this is not the most ideal kitchen tool for cooking burgers. If you’re in search of a juicy and succulent burger, then throw your meat on a grill or let it simmer in a cast-iron pan.

Cookies

Typically, cookies should be gooey on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Not only will the moisture from your instant pot make the cookie batter spread out, but there isn’t really enough room to spread the cookies out.

Steaks

Much like is the case with burgers, steaks should be charred over a grill or barbeque in order to make it juicy and crispy.

By accelerating the cooking process and making life simple, instant pots emerged as a must-have appliance for every kitchen. Still, their versatility doesn’t make them suitable for every kind of dish. Here are some things that you should never cook in an instant pot.

Steaks

While this meaty dish will not cause any damage to your instant pot, they are better cooked on gas or on a grill. This will make the meat come out juicier and will also take quicker to prepare.

Pies

If you’re looking to make a firm yet flaky pie, then an instant pot is not the place to do it. This requires baking the pie in an oven.

Creamy Sauces

Because an instant pot cooks at a very high temperature, it will likely curdle any creamy or dairy-based sauces and get them to clump together. Rather add cheese to your dish once you’ve finished cooking.

Instant Pot might seem like an unnecessary investment, especially when you see the prices for brand models. However, you could argue that the price is actually too low considering how helpful and efficient this appliance can be in the kitchen.

If you don’t cook too often, maybe a multicooker is not for you. But if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen and are on the fence about buying one, then do it. Here is why.

They Can Do it All

No matter whether you want to cook, steam, or sauté something, Instant Pot will do the job. They can also make yogurts, warm up food, and bake bread. What more can you ask for?

They Cut Down the Cooking Time

Instant pots stay true to their name. Using them, you can quickly cook even more elaborate meals. Instead of spending hours around a stove, let the Instant Pot do all the work in a fraction of the time.

They Are Easy to Clean

Remember that headache that kicks in when you see a bunch of pots and pans you need to wash after cooking up a meal? Well, that won’t be an issue with Instant Pot. There are only a few parts of it that need cleaning, and they are mostly safe to put in a dishwasher.

They Are Safe

No need to worry about malfunctions with Instant pots. They come equipped with various sensors that create a safe cooking environment and help deliver perfect results every time. And once they are done cooking, they also keep your food warm. How cool is that?

  • 1 cup chicken broth, preferably homemade
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon of whatever extra seasoning you choose – oregano, cumin, paprika, garlic powder (Optional)

Instructions:

  1. Pour broth, salt, pepper, and seasonings (if you’re using them) into the instant pot. Stir the mixture a few times to combine.
  2. Add the chicken breasts into the pot using tongs and put the lid on.
  3. Seal the valve and pressure cook on high for 9 minutes.
