If you haven't heard of an Instant Pot before you must be living in a cave. The Instant Pot 'smart cooker' was invented in Ottawa. It's the hottest multi-cooker at the moment. People rave about it. Families are getting busier and busier and the Instant Pot will help them make homemade meals fast and tasty. I bought the 9-in-1 which is a pressure-cooker, slow-cooker, rice cooker, steamer, cake maker, food warmer, yogurt maker, sterilizer and has a sauté function.
There are so many recipes that I want to try in my new Instant Pot and today decided to make this Instant Pot Sausages with Red Peppers. It was quick and
