What Instant Pot is the best?

I have the Instant Pot Duo 6 QT Electric Pressure Cooker . You can find it on Amazon. I'm not sponsored by them, it just a kitchen appliance I really like to use. Gotta love those multi-cookers! The Instant Pot Duo multi-cooker combines 7 appliances in one: pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, yogurt maker and warmer – and cooks up to 70% faster!

Are Instant Pots safe?

Don’t be intimidated by your pressure because you’re afraid the lid will pop off or explode! Pressure cookers have built-in features that are for safety reasons. Some of the most common errors made are when the user forgets to turn the venting knob to sealing mode, overfills the pot, or uses the timer button to set the cooking time.

How to boil noodles in your Instant Pot

The general rule of thumb for boiling noodles in your instant pot is to use 1 cup of water for every 4 oz of pasta. My recipe calls for 16 oz of pasta so that would be 4 cups of water. The noodles were done cooking in 5 minutes. It does take a while for the pressure to build up but it was pretty fast! Depending on what other ingredients you want to add to your mac and cheese you can drain the extra water from the pot and easily add the noodles back in there.
