What is an Instant Pot?

An Instant Pot is a multifunctional pressure cooker, a great microwave substitute, which can cook anything from keto egg bites to roasts, chicken, and desserts. An Instant Pot also takes less time to cook a meal than most cooking appliances since it relies on cooking food under pressure to get the job done quickly. While functions integrated into the pressure cooker will vary depending on the model, basic functions that will be present in most models include:

  • Steamer
  • Pressure cooker
  • Slow cooker
  • Warmer
  • Sauté

In this recipe, we will be utilizing the steam function to cook up these eggs.

Two egg bites contain 9 grams of net carbs, which is almost half of your allowed macros for the day. You could still have them if you are on the road and you are starving.
