Isn’t the Instant Pot® just for tenderizing meats? Not quite. The Instant Pot® is a multifunctional kitchen gadget that is incredible at cooking beans and rice and steaming vegetables. No longer will you have to soak beans for hours on end. You can now take those little hard pebbles and have beautifully spiced and tender beans within 30 minutes. In addition, rice, millet, bulgur, couscous, and all of the other grains in those bulk bins that you have wanted to experiment with are cooked to perfection in an Instant Pot®. The pressure and the steam create some deliciously moist and tender meals.
And don’t forget about those glorious veggies because they can be steamed perfectly in minutes retaining nutrients and ensuring tenderness by pressure cooking. From Zucchini Pomodoro to Taco Salad to Mushroom Risotto, this chapter has much to offer in flavor and variety where a lot of vegetarian meals traditionally fall short.
