KANATA, Ontario, Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Instant Brands—maker of the most loved multicooker, the Instant Pot—have launched the Instant Pot Smart WiFi Programmable Pressure Cooker. This innovative new multi-use cooker is designed to give home cooks back precious time in their busy days by allowing customers to monitor and control their cookers from the palm of their hands with the Instant Pot mobile app.

The Instant Pot Smart WiFi boasts game-changing features to help customers save time by verifying cooking progress from anywhere and receiving alerts and notifications directly on mobile devices. The first-of-its kind device pairs directly with the Instant Pot app, allowing total user control to cook, schedule, adjust and monitor the progress of meals from anywhere. The new multicooker also holds over 750 recipes, making it possible to cook specific meals with the click of a button in the Instant Pot app.

"Driving innovation in the kitchen is at the forefront of what we do at Instant Brands," said Dr. Robert Wang, founder and CEO of Instant Brands Inc. "We know how valuable time is for our users and the Smart WiFi, like all of our products, was designed to allow home cooks to spend less time in the kitchen and more time doing the things they love."

Instant Pot recently surveyed parents and found that while 80% of them wished they had more time to cook dinner for their family, nearly six in 10 are too exhausted by the evening to do so. The survey also found that:

61% of parents have less than one hour each day to spend doing something they love
81% agree that if they had more time, they would make meals for their family that don't sacrifice flavor for convenience
86% would make healthier meals for their families if it didn't take as much time

The all-in-one appliance features 13 smart programs for convenient one touch cooking, allowing users to cook their favorite dishes quickly. The Instant Pot Smart WiFi implements the patent-pending recipe script technology, which tailor-makes cooking programs for each recipe within the app to cook nutritious meals to perfection.

Instant Brands is committed to continued improvement and updates to the user experience in its products and advancements, the Instant Pot Smart WiFi multicooker offers unprecedented flexibility to enhance the cooker and the mobile experience.

The Instant Pot Smart WiFi Programmable Pressure Cooker also replaces 8 commonly used kitchen appliances by combining them in one: pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice/porridge cooker, yogurt maker, cake maker, sauté/searing, steam and keep warm.
