The Instant Pot didn't just electrify the pressure cooker—it gave it a brain. This episode breaks down the physics of pressure cooking, the fuzzy logic microcontroller that eliminated the need to babysit a burner, and the ten-plus safety mechanisms that finally made pressure cooking safe enough for the countertop. We also explore why earlier electric models failed, how the floating seal design works, and why Instant Pot's market share has dropped from 70% to 45% as competitors have entered the space.
