The Instant Pot®.
Today everyone seems to have one, but you may not know what it can do, what to expect, or even what an Instant Pot® actually is. If that sounds familiar, don’t worry. Throughout The “I Love My Instant Pot®” Recipe Book, you’ll learn everything you need to know about this appliance and how and why you should use it.
Cooking with an Instant Pot® is life changing. Why? Because it is a multifunction cooking appliance. It is a pressure cooker, a rice cooker, a slow cooker, a yogurt maker, and even a sauté pan all rolled into one. It’s a sleek dish that also allows you to sauté, brown, steam, and warm your food. It cooks soups, eggs, and even cheesecakes! And the high-pressure cooking and steaming ability of an Instant Pot® does wonders to steaks, pork shoulders, and chicken. These modern, cutting-edge workhorses are sleek, efficient, and easy to operate. With just the touch of a button, the Instant Pot® makes preparing a meal easier, cutting down cooking time from hours to minutes. In addition, the Instant Pot® actually cooks food at a lower temperature but it does it more efficiently than other methods because the pressure denies steam to release. This cooking method seals in essential vitamins and minerals and allows the Instant Pot® to turn out healthier, better-tasting food that is perfect when you’re on the go. If you’re worried about safety, don’t be. Today’s Instant Pot®s have several certified safety mechanisms in place. Depending on which Instant Pot® model you buy, the available safety features include a safety lid lock, pressure regulator, leaky lid smart detection, anti-blockage vent, power fuse cut-off, and more. These safety measures take the worry out of pressure cooking.
So whether you just brought your first Instant Pot® home today or have been using one for years, throughout the book you’ll find 175 delicious dishes ranging from Southern Cheesy Grits and Steamed Bread Pudding, to Lemongrass Chicken and Lobster Risotto. The more you cook, the more you’ll realize how versatile the Instant Pot® really is, whether you’re making a hearty breakfast, an amazing main course, or a delicious dessert.
In this book, you’ll find everything you need to know about how to use your Instant Pot®, including how to clean it, how to use the buttons, and what you should have on hand to make your dishes even better. You’ll also notice that some of the recipes throughout the book are dedicated to paleo and gluten-free eating. If you have a family member with celiac disease, are avoiding carbs, or just want to dip your toes into the paleo and/or gluten-free waters without completely committing to the lifestyle, there are plenty of recipes that are perfect for you. So plug in your Instant Pot® and get ready to enjoy some amazing, quick meals.
