Foodie friends Cindy & Claire love experimenting and perfecting their favourite recipes in the Instant Pot, so much so that they have started their new business venture At Our Table to share their knowledge of the amazing capabilities of this fantastic product and recently invited Luci Hirsch to lunch to see how it is done.
Instant Pot is the world’s bestselling multi-cooker that combines 7 kitchen appliances in 1. It’s a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice maker, steamer, sauté pan, food warmer and yoghurt maker. What sets Instant Pot apart is the advanced microprocessor technology and one-touch controls that ensure perfect results every time – it even remembers the way you cook!
