This Saute function is great especially for users living in dorm rooms, RV, boats, on the road, traveling, or camping. Or those who simply don’t want to dirty many pots and pans.
And this Instant Pot Churro Candied Almonds Recipe highlights this Saute function beautifully. But you can also easily make this on the stovetop if you wish. 🙂
