I love using my Instant Pot! I’d always been interested in cooking in a pressure cooker, but had been wary of getting one because of the safety dangers found in traditional pressure cookers. Which is why I love that my Instant Pot gives me all the fast cooking benefits of a traditional pressure cooker, but is so much safer! And you can make so many different things in it, including desserts! If you want to put your Instant Pot to good use and make something delicious, here are 15 Yummy Instant Pot Recipes You Have to Try!
15 Yummy Instant Pot Recipes You Have to Try
- Makes Delicious Food! One of the many things that I love about the Instant Pot is how it makes meat nice and tender! Everything I have made in mine has been delicious and sometimes better than the traditional cooking method.
- Timer Included! I also enjoy that it has the “set it and forget it” kind of nature I’ve come to love in my Crock-Pot. This makes meal prepping so much easier if you don’t have to worry about flipping, stirring, and watching the time!
- Easy to Use! Overall, it’s a very easy appliance to use, and it makes it easier to create delicious home-cooked meals without spending a ton of time. You don’t even have to defrost your meat before making an Instapot recipe, which is great if you tend to forget to take your meat out of the freezer the night before (I know I do!). It’s pretty much the perfect kitchen appliance for busy people!

I have only recently heard of “instant pot”. I thought it was just a pressure cooker but you have shown me it is so much more than that! I am horrible about taking food out to defrost and end up having to run to the store for fresh! I see all your yummy recipes here as well and I think you have actually convinced me to buy one! Thanks for the great information!
