Instant Pot Smart Bluetooth

Some of you may heard about it. Some of you may even searched for Instant Pot Bluetooth and got to this page.

How Well does the Instant Pot Smart Cook?

I know that seems like a silly question, asking how well something cooks when that is specifically what it's designed for. But if we want to buy an appliance, no matter how nice it may look or how fancy it may be, we want it to cook well!

This cooker as I said has 14 preset functions. On all the presets, the cooker is constantly monitored by built-in computers that monitor temperature and pressure.

This cooker, provided you use the correct ingredients and add water, you don't have to worry about any food burning or sticking to the pot.

Not to mention, the cooker's pot is stainless steel so even if after it is done cooking and it cools off, nothing will get stuck to the inside of the pot that you can't get off.

The Instant Pot Smart cooks very well and is definitely not just for decoration. Now let's talk about the maintenance and how easy it is to clean it.

Maintenance & Cleanup

Just like the Instant Pot Duo or the Instant Pot Viva, the Instant Pot Smart comes with a dishwasher-safe cooking pot so washing it won't be very difficult. As long as you try to avoid spillage onto the outside and the electronic bits, you shouldn't have to worry about maintenance often though.

It is worth noting however, that it doesn't hurt to wipe down the outside of the cooker and the panel with a wet wipe to get rid of bacteria.

So not to difficult to keep it clean. Check out this Instant Pot cleaning guide by Cha Ching Queen.
