What is an instant pot? (Sta je elektricni ekspres lonac?)

Instant pot is an electric pressure cooker or multicooker, a kitchen device that cooks food under high pressure with the help of steam.

Unlike ordinary pressure cookers that are placed on the stove, this device has its own heater, digital temperature and time control, as well as built-in safety systems that monitor the pressure inside the container. The pressure increases the boiling temperature of water above the standard hundred degrees, which enables food to be cooked several times faster than with conventional methods.

What functions does an instant pot - electric pressure cooker have?

This device usually combines several kitchen appliances in one device. The main functions are:

A) Pressure cooking for quick food preparation

B) Stewing and roasting at a high temperature before the main cooking

C) Slow cooking for long-term cooking at a low temperature

D) Steam cooking for vegetables and meat

E) Special programs for cooking rice and cereals

F) Yogurt making function with precise thermal treatment of milk

G) Keeping the finished meal warm

H) Delayed start for automatic start of cooking at the desired time

Elektricni ekspres lonac ili apart za visenamensko kuvanje (en. multicooker) je kuhinjski uredaj koji kuva hranu pod visokim pritiskom uz pomoc vodene pare. 

Za razliku od obicnih ekspres lonaca koji se stavljaju na sporet, ovaj uredaj ima sopstveni grejac, digitalnu kontrolu temperature i vremena, kao i ugradjene bezbednosne sisteme koji prate pritisak unutar posude. Pritisak povecava temperaturu kljucanja vode iznad standardnih sto stepeni, sto omogucava da se hrana skuva i do nekoliko puta brze nego uobicajenim metodama.

Koje funkcije ima elektricni ekspres lonac?

Ovaj uredaj obicno kombinuje vise kuhinjskih aparata u jednom uredaju. Glavne funkcije su:

A) Kuvanje pod pritiskom za brzu pripremu hrane

C) Sporo kuvanje za dugotrajno krcanje jela na nizoj temperaturi

D) Kuvanje na pari za povrce i meso

E) Specijalni programi za kuvanje pirinaca i zitarica

F) Funkcija pravljenja jogurta sa preciznom termickom obradom mleka

G) Odrzavanje toplote gotovog jela

H) Odlozeni start za automatski pocetak kuvanja u zeljeno vreme
