You can make healthy, delicious meals without fuss — and they won’t take hours to plan, prep, and cook — when you own an Instant Pot. The Instant Pot is a multitasking cooking dynamo that takes the place of a pressure cooker and rice cooker and can be used to cook practically anything in a fraction of the time it would take in the oven or on your stovetop.

And when you’re busy and also trying to lose weight, the Instant Pot will become your new favorite tool.

Here are four anti-inflammatory Instant Pot recipes you should make this week to kick-start fat loss.

Anti-inflammatory ingredients like chili peppers, tomatoes, and turmeric help curb inflammation in the body that can lead to health problems and diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and arthritis.

If you’re trying to lose weight and burn fat, the best meal plans are those that are bursting with flavorful, natural whole foods. Include plenty of fresh vegetables and protein-rich legumes and lean meats in your diet. And shave hours of cooking time each week by investing in an Instant Pot.
