Why Every Low-Carb Kitchen Needs an Instant Pot

Instant Pots are somewhat of a new appliance for many people. They look a little 
complicated, but are supposed to replace the major large appliances in your kitchen like 
rice cookers and crock pots. You may be wondering how you can justify the cost of the 
Instant Pot, or if you will even use it that often in your low-carb kitchen. Here are a few 
ways to consider using the Instant Pot and why you likely need it for your low-carb 
cooking.

Quick Dinner Options

If you are pressed for time during the afternoons and evenings, then an Instant Pot is 
ideal. Instant Pots offer you a one pot option for all your meals without giving you mushy 
meals that may come from a slow cooker. You can also do them quickly and easily. 
That isn't really where your time saving comes in though.  When you use an Instant Pot, 
you can set everything and leave it. You are not standing over the stove or oven. You 
can take the time it takes to make the meal and use it to do other things around the 
house and free up even more time. It is like a crockpot, but faster.

Multi-Purpose Appliance

If you have a smaller kitchen or if you just want to keep things minimal, then you need 
an Instant Pot. When you think of the processes you need to complete for a low-carb 
meal, you will note that you need a rice cooker for cauliflower rice, crockpot, pressure 
cooker, and sauté pan at the minimum. The Instant Pot does all of these things. With 
this appliance and a food processor, you could handle at least 95% of the food you 
would be making on the low-carb diet.

Delay Your Cooking

All of us have long days where we need to get sleep and we need to start a meal by a 
certain time. This is especially true for holiday meals. Well, if it is something that simply 
requires the cooking of meat or a one step dish, then you can delay your cooking time 
for up to 24 hours with the Instant Pot. You just simply fill the pot, set the delay timer, 
and set the timer for the process you need. The Instant Pot will handle the rest for you. 

Using Less Energy

One of the issues that many people have with cooking at home is the issue with energy. 
You either end up heating up your kitchen and living area from the stove and oven or 
you end up using a lot of energy with all the appliances in your home. This can get 
expensive, especially if you need to keep within a budget on your monthly energy bills. 
By using the Instant Pot, you can avoid using multiple appliances and you avoid the 
heat that generally comes from the oven and stove. 

One of the main reasons people switch to the Instant Pot is to reduce the number of 
appliances in their kitchen, while having an appliance that can truly multi-task. Instant 
Pots are available in most kitchen stores, and can even be found in thrift stores and 
consignment stores if you are into going the budget route for this handy appliance.
