I am not the best cook in the house, but I have come across a few items that have made cooking any meal fool proof. Spending time cooking in the kitchen can really eat into your day. Especially if you have a 9 to 5 job. Those few hours at night that you have between getting home from your commute and going to bed to start the day all over again can feel like you are racing the clock to get all of what you want to do done.
Solution? What if I told you that there is a incredible appliance that you can have in your kitchen for under $60? This appliance can cook most meals in under 30 minutes, and you can just toss your food in it, set it, and forget it. Seems too good to be true, right? Well, the answer is a Pressure Cooker. You have definitely heard of this appliance being spoken about among your family, friends, and colleagues, but you haven’t pulled the trigger in purchasing it.
I am here to convince you that at the start of the new year is the best time to buy a Pressure Cooker! This appliance was definitely a huge hit in 2020, so there are thousands of free recipes online. These recipes range from indulgent to healthy. Most recipes are also very affordable! So, if in the new year you are planning to cut back on spending, then getting a Pressure Cooker can help save you money with affordable and delicious meal. You won’t even want to eat out anymore! I have linked below a few of my favorite meals. I also have listed some pros and cons on getting a Pressure Cooker.
Pros:
- You save time when cooking
- Affordable recipes
- Cook entire meals in a single pot, so fewer dishes
- Flavor conservation since the steam can’t escape the Pressure Cooker while cooking
- Durable if you get the Instant Pot brand
Cons
- Price. If you need a larger Pressure Cooker then it will be more expensive
- Learning curve during the first couple of uses
- Cheap ones are not durable
