As the 2021 holiday season approached, the excitement of gathering with loved ones returned, but so did the pressure of hosting. After months of limited social interaction, home cooks — both seasoned and novice — felt the weight of creating meals that would not only meet but exceed their guests' heightened expectations. Instant Pot rose to the challenge by introducing two innovative products designed to elevate the cooking and entertaining experience. The Instant Vortex™ Plus Air Fryer, with its edge-to-edge ClearCook window, gave users a front-row seat to the magic of air frying, while the Instant Dutch Oven’s programmed presets made traditionally complex dishes more accessible than ever. By showcasing these products as kitchen game-changers across social platforms, Instant Pot empowered home cooks to embrace ‘amazing in the making,’ transforming even the most hesitant hosts into confident, at-home chefs capable of crafting meals that truly wowed.
