Instant Pot includes all the necessary features for the most demanding hostesses. But first, you need to understand all the settings of the microprocessor.

Power Pressure Cooker also allows you to cook a variety of dishes for a reasonable price. Moreover, its settings and instructions are much easier to understand. But the lack of protection and the lack of automatic steam release don’t make it the number one choice. Therefore, choose any variant based on your preferences, durability, and price.
