Instant Pot Recipes

Instant Pot recipes are time saving and family friendly. These Instant Pot recipes are not only tasty but also budget friendly.

Of course, I’m not telling you anything new when I say that the Instant Pot is my favorite small kitchen appliance. But my love for the Instant Pot is real. And I know some of you are wondering what exactly an Instant Pot is. If that’s the case, please allow me to explain.

An Instant Pot is a small kitchen appliance that works as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker and steamer. I’m sure you know what a slow cooker and rice cooker do but maybe you’re less familiar with the idea of cooking in a pressure cooker and steaming. So let me address those briefly.

A pressure cooker is a pot with a lid that seals tightly, allowing for cooking food at low temperatures under high pressures. Food cooks much faster in a pressure cooker than regular pots/pans because of the heat conducting properties of stainless steel, aluminum or ceramic cooking surfaces that are generally used in pressure cookers. Additionally, pressurizing the pot with air/steam pushes the boiling point of water up, which allows for cooking at lower temperatures.

For example, a pot roast usually takes around 3 hours to cook using a low temperature on the stove top or in an oven. In a pressure cooker, you can cut that time to 30 minutes.

These Instant Pot recipes are budget friendly and are meals that your entire family love. If you make one of these Instant Pot recipes I hope that you will tag me on social media so I can see how they turn out for you.
