I feel like I need to do an introduction to the magical Instant pot before I start posting recipes and all the amazing things I have made in it. I am sure most of you have heard about this contraption by now. After all it was one of the top selling items on Amazon last Christmas. I have been an instant pot owner for just over a year now. I purchased it on Prime day last summer.
It’s a modern day pressure cooker but with lots of safety built in. This is not you mothers stovetop pressure cooker that everyone is terrified of. I love my Instant Pot and here is why:
- It’s a time saver (Corn on the cob in 2 minutes!)
- I can cook lots of things my entire family loves.
- It is amazing at bringing out the flavors in your food
- No standing over the stove to watch our food, set it and forget it until the timer beeps
I have cooked everything from meatballs and Sunday gravy, cheesecake, ribs to eggs and a giant pancake in it. I will be posting some of my favorite recipes. There are some great cookbooks on Amazon like this Instant Pot Cook Book
