Instant Pots are all the rage these day in the cooking world. Well I don’t know about cooking world but in this mama’s world. My in-laws got me one for Christmas and I am sold on it. I love how I can come home have about an hour before dinner time and have it done with my instant pot. If you aren’t sure what a Instant Pot is or have been wanting one you need one now.
