The "I Love My Instant Pot®" 5-Ingredient Recipe Book is a practical, helpful cookbook filled with easy recipes for many occasions. The book starts with several informative sections, explaining all the basics of using an Instant Pot; for example, it describes the functions, buttons, cleaning, possible accessories, and terminology needed to get started with your Instant Pot.

Then, the fun begins when we jump into the recipes, each boasting five or fewer ingredients, short hands-on time, and quick cook times. From breakfast ideas to apps and sides, entrees to desserts, every meal and course are included. Added perks throughout the book are fun tips like recipe modification, optional add-ins, and even quick lessons on things like salted vs unsalted butter. Some recipes have images included, and all recipes include number of servings and nutritional information.

Reading through the book, I found myself thinking "I could make this" and "My family would eat that" quite often, a sure sign that this recipe book is easy enough for the Instant Pot novice but diverse enough to please a variety of palates. I will be returning to several bookmarked recipes very soon.

Thank you to NetGalley, author Michelle Fagone from CavegirlCuisine.com, and publisher Simon & Schuster for an advanced digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Review written after downloading a galley from NetGalley.

My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this cookbook in exchange for an honest review.

I really needed this concise, easy to understand Instand Pot cookbook: apart from a few chicken stews and roast beef dishes, my instant pot was not getting much use..

The introduction contains simple to follow instructions on how to use your Instant Pot safely. Releasing the pressure completely is key. (One tip I learned: the trick to cooking desserts in the instant pot is to thoroughly clean and air out the sealer - or purchase a separate one and switch them out for the required purpose. That way, your desserts don't taste like the roast you just cooked the night before!)

In the I Love My Instant Pot" 5-ingredient Recipe book, Michelle Fagone provides you with a huge range of dishes to choose from. Here is a quick sampling from each section: rotisserie chicken, Sloppy Joes, BBQ pork ribs, ground beef bulgogi halibut in lemon and caper sauce, milk boiled corn on the cob, and melt in your mouth meatballs. The mashed sweet potatoes (as well as the recipe with carrots) looks and sounds tasty.. The potato bacon soup is something I will definitely try, because I love soup on a cold winter's night. The picture of the take out style beef and broccoli looked mouthwatering. There is a very easy rice pudding recipe that I might try, along with the pumpkin muffins.

All of the recipes look easy to make and will take you no time at all once you've assembled the ingredients and followed the simple instructions. I prefer lots of pictures in a cookbook, but there were still plenty of them here to satisfy my hungry eye! I suspect i will be getting more use out of my Instant Pot!!!
Highly recommended: a 4 out of 5 star rating.

I Love My Instant Pot 5-Ingredient Recipe Book by Michelle Fagone is good recipe book with a variety of recipes that are easy to follow and accessible ingredients. I tried 4 recipes.

The easiest and simple recipe was the Amish Inspired Egg Noodles. Super easy and tasty. Do I really need an instant pot for this? No but still tasty.

Sausage and Sweet Potato Hash was easy, tasty and customizable.

Bacon Cheddar Scrambled Egg Muffins were good and she even mentioned freezable. Thank you for telling me that. This makes the cook book go up in my estimation.

Chocolate Cherry Soda Pop cupcakes were easy and a hit or miss on actually turning out. Cherry Pepsi worked, Dr. Pepper did not. Mine were undercooked but who doesn’t love a gooey cupcake.

For criticism just be aware 5 ingredients is fudging the line a little. Staple items are not part of the 5-Ingredients. Overall this was a great cookbook if you have no idea what to do with your pressure cooker. She gives tips and talks about alterations.

5 Stars because easy customizable recipes with a variety of things to try. I did four and I will try more. Thank you to NetGalley, Adams Media and Michele Fagone for an ARC. This was an honest review.

I'm a relative new comer to the instant pot and this book is both a great intro to the gadget but also an inspiring cook book. It gives a really useful overview of the IPs functions in an easy to understand format which makes it very beginner friendly.

Moving onto the recipes, the book is structured into logical sections such as breakfast, soups, chicken etc. During lockdown i've been particularly uninspired around cooking and this book really helped me. There are lots of very inspiring ideas and recipes that are easy to follow and very well written and developed. Unlike many cookbooks, i haven't had a dud recipe from this book. Particular favourites have been the soups, there are some delicious chicken dishes and the vegetable ideas have been very inspired. So far i have cooked at least ten recipes from the book and i have many more bookmarked. T

Thank you to NetGalley for this download. I voluntarily chose to review it and the opinions contained within are my own.

Includes a variety of side dishes, dinner, lunch and breakfast idea. Plus tips are given on how to use your instapot very helpful

I love the idea of easy recipes and just a few ingredients. The recipes are nicely illustrated and great for beginners. However, on a personal note of preference, I really didn't like a lot of the recipe ideas and frankly, a lot of the things suggested such as steamed clams and fish are not worth the trouble to do in an Instant/Multipot. when you can easily do them on the stove faster and without lugging out the heavy pot. Pn the plus side, there are some enticing recipes for vegetarians. and some recipes such as lamb stew really are easier and better in an instant/multipot. There are also a few pages of tips and hints for using this appliance that really can help you understand the process better.

The Instant Pot® craze doesn’t seem to be waning, and even though Instant Pots® save time, The "I Love My Instant Pot®" 5-Ingredient Recipe Book: From Pot Roast, Potatoes, and Gravy to Simple Lemon Cheesecake, 175 Quick and Easy Recipes makes cooking in your Instant Pot® even faster and easier. It is generally a no-brainer to assemble five ingredients for dinner, so this excellent cookbook will help you save even more time, as well as give you great recipe ideas.

This cookbook includes recipes for appetizers, breakfasts, meats, poultry, seafood, salads, soups, and even desserts. Most of the recipes are quick to put together, and most are fairly quick to cook. One of the things Fagone emphasizes is that dry beans don’t have to be soaked overnight, and the recipes using them in the Instant Pot take a bit more time to cook. However, as is usual, the cooking process doesn’t need to be monitored, so busy cooks can go about their business while their dishes are cooking. There are several dishes in the book including dry beans and other things that need long cooking like grits; they come out perfectly in the Instant Pot®.

While the main cooking is done in the Instant Pot® for many of the dishes, the final prep is done in the oven, broiler, or other means, and in some salads, the refrigerator. There are all-purpose recipes that will appeal to everyone, and so far every recipe I’ve tried has turned out well. The only drawback to this cookbook is the sad lack of photographs. While there are a few, and they are nice, there aren’t as many as there should be. In this modern day, photographs are easy to publish, and they should be included in all cookbooks.

All told, this is an excellent Instant Pot® cookbook, and everyone who likes to use their Instant Pot® and also save time will appreciate the recipes. This is a good one.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this advance copy. I recently got an Instant Pot, and learning to use it can be intimidating. I appreciated the first chapter about learning how to use it quite a bit. So many of the recipes sound amazing. I like that some seem like really unique recipes and some are traditional favorite recipes reworked for the Instant Pot.

This cookbook was good. It was not great.
What I liked... Easy preparation of foods with few ingredients, well arranged recipes and easy to find.
What I wanted to see more - uniqueness.
Otherwise great book to own and highly recommended.

De très belles idées recettes !
Des photos appétissantes
Un de ces livres de cuisines que l'on aime avoir et que l'on sait va nous être utile

It can be difficult to find good cookbooks for Instant Pot, but this is a great volume. Not only does it have good recipes, it also provides a lot of great information about how to properly use and care for your Instant Pot. This is a solid choice for someone who's looking to get started with their Instant Pot or if they're just looking for new recipes to use with it.

The "I Love My Instant Pot" 5-Ingredient Recipe Book by Michelle Fagone is a great resource for beginner cooks and Instant Pot novices. The user-friendly instructions and limited, easy-to-find ingredients make cooking from this book a breeze. I tried two recipes from each section, and my family enjoyed them all. I really liked the format and photos too. There is an ingredient box, quality photos of some recipes, simple instructions, and nutritional information. My only suggestions would be to include more photos!

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

There are so many great and simple recipes here. I am really looking forward to trying out more of these recipes in the future.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an advanced readers e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

I'm new to cooking with an instant pot but the book makes me so excited. Even without having tried the exact recipes(which look yum!), I feel like the book fine tuned my instincts for the Instant Pot and opened my eyes up to the versatility of it, which is a win for any specialized cookbook in my opinion.

Would've liked some more one pot recipes, personally- my only real qualm about the book.

Excellent recipes with easy to follow instructions. I am definitely trying some of these next week! I’m new to Instant Pot cooing so the info at the beginning was helpful too.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review

I would not include "The "I Love My Instant Pot 5-Ingredient Recipe Book" in a classroom. However, what a wonderful starting place for people who are first using their Instant Pots and/or learning how to cook. A wide array of recipes with easy to find ingredients makes this simple. The recipes The front section discussing needs for an Instant Pot and explaining how to use it was well done.

I'm so grateful to Michelle Fagone, Adams Media, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review.

Nice book with a lot of Instant Pot recipes, each made with a limited number of ingredients. After an intro and a chapter on Instant Pot Cooking, recipes are in chapters on Breakfast, Soups/Stews/Chilis, Beans/Rice/Grains, Appetizers, Side Dishes, Chicken Main Dishes, Beef and Pork Main Dishes, Seafood and Fish Main Dishes, Vegetarian Main Dishes, and Desserts.
The recipes covered a wide variety of ingredients and flavor profiles. Instructions were thorough, and each recipe also included nutritional info. There were some color photos but I would have preferred more. I found the recipes in here to be more interesting - it wasn't just for standard basics. I think the book would be useful both for someone beginning with Instant Pot cooking and for someone who has experience but is looking for new ideas.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I received this from Netgalley.com.

I recently bought an Insta Pot. This book is full of great recipes and ideas, beautiful pictures and easy to follow instructions.
