Are Instant Pots Safe?
This is the biggest question I think many have, is it safe? Some threat and danger have followed the pressure cooker over the years. But what you have to remember is times have changed. Old pressure cookers were a pan with a lid; this is an electric pressure cooker. There are fail-safe mechanisms in place to protect you and your kitchen. The most significant thing is to read your manual and make sure you know how to work your pot correctly for safety reasons.
How Does The Instant Pot Cook Food Faster? 
With an Instant Pot, it can cook food in a fraction of the time because it traps steam which increases the pressure inside the cooker. When the pressure rises, the temperatures rise quickly and that cooks your food a lot faster, and can even lock in moisture, flavor, and nutrients.
This one appliance makes it so convenient, especially if you are running short on time. Whip up a Whole Chicken paired in the Instant Pot that is ready in a fraction of the time compared to stovetop cooking. Or whip up Better than Take Out Beef and Broccoli for a quick weeknight dinner in no time flat. Seriously this little device has taken over our kitchen, and for a good reason. It can do pretty much anything, and the dishes taste amazing.
