The Instant Pot smart cooker was invented by Ottawa’s Robert Wang, Yi Qin and Dongjun Wang who had all worked in Ottawa’s tech sector. Wang tell the CBC, “Many kitchen appliances were designed for the lifestyle of our parents, of our grandparents. Now our generation lives a different lifestyle, so we need to rethink those legacy devices and make sure they adapt.
