Instant Pot® Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook (An Authorized Instant Pot® Cookbook)

This is a solid cookbook for a countertop electric pressure cooker (not just the instant pot), although I am much more likely to try the recipes in which you don't mess with the stem rack, lower cake pans into it or do one step in the instant pot and the rest in the oven. Good stews and meat applications designed to save time but yield slow-cooker results.

Lots of great time saving dishes. Loved the photos! Recipes look amazing!

Great gift idea for those new Instant Pot owners in your life.

Book is laid out well and everything is easy to read. Lots of information contained within including a good overall manual for using the Instant Pot with some tips and tricks. The photos really do help as the Instant Pot manual does not have many photos. I would have liked to have seen the newer Ultra model covered (different buttons/knob)

Recipes are drool worthy. I look forward to cooking everything in this book in my new Ultra Instant Pot

I heart my Instant Pot. And as much as I heart it, I could really do better about learning how to use some of the features beyond pressure cooking, and making rice.

Steaming, sautéing, canning, slow cooking, making yogurt. I have done none of these things with my Instant Pot yet. But you know? I really should. I get annoyed with ‘one pot’ recipes that involve one pot… and an oven… and a pan for browning or sautéing. You can, theoretically, do it all in the IP. aHEM. If you actually use the features.

So, yeah. Bring it, Instant Pot® Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook. Can you turn me from a fond devotee to the high priestess of the Instant Pot cult? Considering that I work 12 hour days and I get culinary restlessness easily, I think perhaps you can.

On My ‘To Make’ List:

Caramelized Onion Dip
Blue Cheese Crostini with Bacon Jam
Vegetable Pot Stickers with Sesame-Ginger Dipping Sauce
Orange- and Honey-Glazed Carrots
Garlicky Kale and Bacon
Apple Cider and Thyme Braised Brisket
Beef Ragù
Ropa Vieja
Balsamic Beef Short Ribs
Cranberry and Herb-Stuffed Turkey Breast
Beer Garden Casserole
Sage and Rosemary Pork Loin
Double Chocolate Cheesecake
Lemon Soufflé Pudding Cake

I very much enjoyed the Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook. As a working mom, I find it difficult sometimes to put a home-cooked meal on the table after a long day at work and then running the kids around to their activities. I had actually purchased an Instant Pot before reading this book and it sat on the counter in the box for months. I had no idea what types of recipes to use. This cookbook helped me out so much!

We've tried many of the recipes listed, with our favorites being the Enchiladas Rancheras, Pineapple and Chipotle Pork Tacos, and the Spinach and Herb Lasagna. I haven't braved the desserts yet, but I have my eye on a couple I want to attempt.

I thoroughly enjoyed this cookbook and will definitely be recommending it to my friends.

*I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A great book for exploring all the many features of the Instant Pot. It is easy to fall into the habit of using on certain features and settings so this book is a good tool to help you get much more out of it. The recipes were all very simple to follow and it is amazing how quickly and easily the pot cooks. Some of the recipes I would never try, I prefer the ones with ;less preparation and would not select anything that could be done just as quick in the conventional oven. It is a very good gadget and this book will help people find the best way to make it work for them. Thank you

I own an Instant Pot but have been afraid to use it. This book dispels the mystery around it and provides irresistible recipes. I will have to conquer my fears in order to eat better!

I had not realized I could bake in it. Banana bread, cakes, etc. I began writing down recipes that sounded tempting and soon ran out of space on the page. The recipes are broad and cover a wide variety of tastes.

The recipes sometimes require additional equipment such as a food processor or broiler.

Having to read this book on the Bluefire Reader was nearly impossible. Too bad it was not on the Kindle app.

Since I got my Instant Pot I cook almost all my meals in it every week. I have been getting stuck in a little rut with the same type of recipes. I love the variety of recipes in this cookbook. Just a note if you eat Paleo/Ketogenic, there are some recipes that you can use in this cookbook. There are several I can't wait to try out!

The book begins with instructions for using the Instant Pot, and includes a list of 7 rookie mistakes. I made sure I read over those as I don’t want to make the most common mistakes a newbie can make! After moving from the basic instructions, kitchen tools that go along with this and pantry items, we get to the recipes. each one shows what buttons you need to use on the Instant pot. Here are some of the ones in this book:

Yogurt parfaits with apricot-glazed berries; shakshuka; quinoa breakfast bowl with broiled tomatoes; butterscotch pecan French toast; banana bread; deviled eggs; smoky glazed chicken wings; eggplant caponata; potato salad with mustard vinaigrette; twice-baked potatoes with broccoli and cheddar; Mexican black beans; coconut rice; three-bean salad; beef ragu; ropa viega; chicken Marbella; cranberry and herb stuffed turkey breast; Colombian chicken soup; pulled pork sandwiches; Italian sausage meatballs; sage and rosemary pork loin; spinach and herb lasagna; yogurt dip three ways; chocolate peanut butter brownies; and lemon souffle pudding cake.

As you can see, this cookbook offers a wide variety of recipes. I like that it has old, familiar ones along with some new things for me to try. I have looked at several Instant Pot cookbooks on the market, and this is my favorite.

Love the variety of food the book covered. Huge collection of recipes. The book is well written in a very clear format for me to follow step by step. Especially like the little icon on the top right to indicate which buttons to be used in that recipe.

I was on the fence about using an Instant Pot. For every positive "I couldn't live without this contraption" comment, there was a negative comment. When given the opportunity to review Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook: Quick and Easy Recipes for Everyday Eating, I asked a friend to borrow her appliance to test out some recipes. I wanted to know if it was hype or legit.

As someone completely new to the Instant Pot phenomenon, I found this book useful. I particularly liked the quick list: What you Absolutely Need to Know Before Using Your Instant Pot and the list of Rookie Mistakes. There's also a chapter on Essential Kitchen Tools and Pantry Items which I thought was a little long and unnecessary.

The strength of this cook book is the recipes themselves. I could see myself making quite a few of the recipes for my family. I tried making the Pulled Pork Sandwiches and they were delicious. In the past, I've made pulled pork in the crock pot and it takes around 8 hours. I used the Pressure Cooker Setting and the pulled pork was completed within an hour. Unlike the slow cooker version, the meat was very flavorful and tender without being soggy. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow, even for me, a first-time Instant Pot user. I look forward to trying more recipes from this collection.

Quick and easy recipes in Instant pot Pressure cooker from breakfast to dinner........ wonderful book.

This is a detailed book for pressure cookers, canning, saute-ing. I was a little daunted by my Instant Pot, "it's wonderful, but what do I do with it?" Well, now I know. Lots of good recipes in reasonable portions, tasty and easy. What more could you ask for?

I have been on an instant pot cookbook hunt and this one is worth the buy!! Great recipes and great tips on how to use your new best friend!

NIce, basic book to go with the Instant Pot. We can't get enough of them at our library! They go out as soon as they hit the shelves! Good recipes, nice color photographs- this will be a winner! Thanks for the review copy- purchased!

NIce overview of the Instant Pot and some good basic recipes.

TITLE: Recipes are straightforward, creative, efficient and tasty. I like this book!

I’m not usually a fan of appliance cookbooks put out by the company that makes the appliance, as they are usually shallow and lacking in many ways—they seem like an afterthought. That is not the case here, with this well-done, well-put-together book. This Instant Pot-sponsored book contains quality recipes. Instructions are straightforward, efficient in their steps and produce tasty results. You will see/read some dorky content at the beginning, in the intro, that sounds like a promotional infomercial, but that gives way to solid advice and instruction.

If you just want the basics, this is not the cookbook you are looking for. And there are no timing charts. (Go to the Instant Pot website for the basics and charts. Even though the Instant Pot website is more than a bit ambiguous, you can probably get all the basic info you could possibly want from there.)

This is a book of recipes: You will need more than basic ingredients and you will need some room to do prep work. Some recipes will require a cooktop or an oven. Not that any of these requirements are surprising, I just mention it to ward off the potential buyer looking to use this book in conjunction with an Instant Pot in a dorm room or other tiny place.

These are not basic recipes that a busy college student living in a tight place will be able to tackle--space-wise. Would she or he wish they could tackle some of these recipes?? Oh, yes! For instance, I am a home cook, with a regular-sized, well-equipped kitchen, and there are many, many recipes in this book that have made me get my Instant Pot off the shelf and back onto the counter top. But if you don’t have the room to store and prep ingredients, these recipes will push your organizational skills beyond the limit.

If you do order this particular book, while you are waiting for it to arrive, find yourself a 6”x 3” round cake pan and a deep 8” round soufflé or casserole dish, because those are the sizes mentioned. If you want to bake or make casseroles in your Instant Pot, you will need some kind of pan and/or dish. (I have noticed that other recipe books call for different sizes.)

I found the recipe instructions to be very straightforward. Of course, as with any recipe, cooking times need slight adjustments per your environment and ingredients, but I have far fewer questions on the recipes in this book, than when working with the Instant Pot website. In other words, less ambiguity with these recipes than the info on the website. Each recipe in this book makes it very clear which buttons to push.

Also, cooking times in these recipes are often different from what I find in the website charts. (Like the potato salad recipe: Steaming 2 pounds of baby/new whole potatoes (about 16) takes 1 1/2C of water in the bottom of the pot, Manual button, high pressure for 8 minutes, quick release. The website chart will tell you 10-12 minutes in 1 C water, but will not tell you which button to push, or give pounds/amount, just saying “small or medium amount of food”. (It was ambiguity like that on the website that originally made me put my Instant Pot away in frustration……)

*The instructions in this book were developed with the Instant Pot DUO60 V2 (6 quart), so if you have a newer Instant Pot model without that basic “Manual” button, I believe you will be choosing “Pressure Cook”.

Another example of instructions that work, found in the Spaghetti Squash with Garlic and Sage Brown Butter recipe: One spaghetti squash, about 3 ½ pounds, halved crosswise and seeded, 1 1/2C water, on the steam rack, manual button, high pressure, 15 minutes, quick release. Or this one for the potatoes in a yummy twice-baked potato recipe: Steam 4 12-ounce russet potatoes: Prick, place on steam rack, 1 1/2C water, Manual button, high pressure, 25 minutes.

You might very well disagree with me, but I get annoyed with pressure cooker books that seem to “force” foods into the pressure cooker method. There are foods—quick-cooking veggies, eggs, fish fillets, for example—that are just as easily cooked in a pan on your cooktop. This book avoids doing that (for the most part, although there is a recipe for deviled eggs and one for salmon….). The Jambalaya recipe makes a lot of sense to me, for instance: The raw shrimp are added after the rest of the ingredients are cooked: Quick release to vent the steam, open lid, stir in shrimp, lock lid and let sit for 10 minutes. Shrimp are not over-cooked. (Many of the seafood recipes are bowl food.)

I found the vegetarian main dish chapter too short for me. But the very colorful (and very suitable for the Thanksgiving table), Layered Vegetable Casserole with sweet potatoes, Yukon gold, rutabaga, beets and cannellini beans is a real keeper. And the yogurt recipes give one an idea of how to utilize the yogurt-making feature of this machine. For me, there could have been more grain recipes, (but I have Lorna Sass for that!).

There is a dessert chapter, too. And the pictures look yummy, but I don’t often make desserts.

Some observations:

--No exotic or unfamiliar ingredients.
--No canned soup, no canned beans (with one exception of canned cannellini in a casserole), not much canned goods at all—maybe tomatoes. (There are a good amount of bean recipes using dried beans.)
--I found it necessary to cut down on the amount of salt called for in the recipes. And I increased the pepper or added a different source of spicy heat.
--Prep times are accurate for average experience cooks.
--Cook times are fairly accurate; maybe some slight adjustments to be made for when you don’t follow directions exactly.
--There are pictures for most recipes, and they are full-color and pretty--maybe not the best quality, though.....

Some terrific recipes:
--Orange and Honey-Glazed Carrots with Dill; from opening your bag of carrots to serving is less than 15 minutes.
--Chorizo and Pinto Beans; the recipe pairs the mix with nachos, I put it on flour tortillas.
--Sweet and Sour Meatballs; ground pork or chicken, bound with an egg white.
--A Three-Bean Salad fit for a pot luck: Cannellini, kidney and fresh green beans, with a lemon-y vinaigrette.
--Scallion Corn Bread is on the sweet-ish side—just like we like it at our house.
--Some of the beef/lamb/pork recipes are for the pot as a slow cooker, some for the pressure cooker. There is a nice representation that will give insight for changing up your own meat recipes. I really enjoyed the Balsamic Beef Short Ribs, prep time 20 minutes, cook time (saute and manual buttons) is an hour.
--Lemon Chicken with Green Olives is quick and economical. I often make a similar recipe in the oven. This is quicker and less mess to clean up—a real game-changer for me!
--I like the entire chapter of pork recipes. We especially enjoyed the Beer Garden Casserole: Layers of cabbage, apple and sweet Italian sausage meat. (I added onions.) Also Sticky and Sweet Sriracha Ribs, cooked over vinegar and not water. And the Pozole recipe is very good!

*I originally received a temporary download of this cookbook from the publisher. But, as you can see from the "Verified Purchase" tag at the top of this review, I bought a hard copy for myself to put on my library shelf. (And so my neighbor can borrow it: She's a big Instant Pot fan and she got me started on it!)

Unfortunately, I cannot open this document so cannot read or review.

Having recently bought an Instant pot I have been looking for lots of recipes. Most recipes online use only two of the functions of the instant pot, pressure cooking and yoghurt making. The Instant Pot® Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook goes through all the functions of the pot and will help you get full use of your wonderful new kitchen tool. Lasagna, Ribs, Risottos, and even desserts, a book full of recipes you will use again and again.
The only downside for me is it's an American book so there's one or two things that are difficult to source, but I'm used to coming up with alternatives.

My husband got me an Instant Pot back in January for my birthday and I absolutely love it. There is something so magical about this particular pressure cooker. I always love coming across pressure cooker cookbooks and it is particularly exciting when they are brand specific to Instant Pot so you know the exact buttons to push. There was a great introduction for newbies about how to use the Instant Pot and then there are tons of great recipes following that. You could essential use your IP for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert if you really wanted to! There are a great variety of recipes, new ones I haven't seen elsewhere, and I look forward to trying out many of them!

Mouthwatering goodness in this cookbook, from breakfast, lunch, snacks, deserts and many options for main meals, this cookbook delivers some creative food ideas for your Instant Pot. The Instant Pot is such a great invention and having a quick go to for meal planning is great. Cookbooks are not complete to me without full color photos of the food ideas. Well, this book does not disappoint in the delectable looking food options. Anyone can follow these instructions and be on their way to amazing food in just minutes. You’ll want to pick up your copy and get cooking!

I love my instant pot and it is great to have a book with a selection of recipes that are straight forward and delicious.

A good selection of tasty and easy to follow recipes for new and more experienced Instant Potters.

A good overview for a beginning Instant Pot user. I enjoyed the fact it is an Instant Pot authorized cookbook.

This cookbook brought me from the stone age (my crock pot) to the present-day (Instant Pot pressure cooking). I still haven't tried the most advanced recipes yet, but very happy with how all the ones I tried turned out!

Fantastic recipes that worked brilliantly and tasted amazing! Great for beginners or for anyone who's wanting some inspiration. Very handy little book.

I am new to NetGalley and was unaware that the downloads will expire after a certain length of time. I am sorry but the copy of the book I downloaded expired before I was able to complete my review so I will not be able to publish the review on my site.
