Do you have an Instant Pot? I bought mine almost exactly one year ago, and at first it sat in the box. It was a bit intimidating and I wasn’t sure what to do with it. Eventually, I unboxed it and started experimenting. Now, I use it every week.
Is anyone asking themselves “What is an Instant Pot?” If so, let me get you up to speed.
An Instant Pot is a device that combines an electric pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, and yogurt maker all in one handy unit. It’s easier to use than a traditional pressure cooker–just press a few buttons and you’re good to go. It’s very user-friendly, which probably attributes to its growing a cult following in the last year or so.
Even though I use it often, it’s mostly for a few staple recipes that I love. I make a whole chicken in there almost weekly and started using it for my bone broth as well. You can cook a whole chicken in less than an hour. It’s a game-changer! It’s so much cheaper to buy a whole chicken and then you’ve got cooked chicken ready to go for quick and healthy lunches or dinners.
I also love my Creamy Instant Pot Lentils and make those often, too.
I decided, though, I need to keep expanding my healthy Instant Pot recipes repertoire. So I did some searching and found almost one hundred healthy Instant Pot recipes! Updated to add: I’ve been using this list and updating it, and it now has over 100 healthy Instant Pot Recipes!
I’ll be using my Instant Pot every day! I hope you will, too.
