    25 Beginner Instant Pot Recipes

    Collaborations, Instant Pot, TechniquesFebruary 8, 2019February 8, 2019 Bernice Hill

    What Can an Instant Pot Do?

    The more relevant question is ‘What can’t an Instant Pot do?’ Seriously. Depending on your model, you can do anything from making yogurt, to steaming, sautéing, pressure cooking (!) and even slow cooking! If you are just new to pressure cooking, it may become a little overwhelming. To get you started, here are 25 Instant Pot Recipes that are really basic and uncomplicated. Your Instant Pot will soon be an irreplaceable kitchen appliance, worth of the space it takes up on your kitchen counter.

    How to Cook Rice Grains and Legumes in an Instant Pot

    It might surprise you to learn that grains cooked in the Instant Pot turn out really fluffy in a fraction of the time. Please note that cooking times may vary according to your altitude and what type of rice you are cooking.

    Legumes are another story. Gone are the days when you had to soak your dried beans overnight before cooking. All you have to do is pre-cook them in your Instant Pot (it takes minutes) then add them to your recipe.

    What Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?

    Hard boiled eggs are probably the easiest protein to cook in the Instant Pot. My friend, who owns a chicken farm, always has fresh eggs to cook with. She swears that cooking them under pressure is the only cooking method that results in easy to peel fresh eggs. I agree! When I’m making a batch of my Pickled Eggs, the only way to get smooth peeled eggs is to pressure cook them.

    The second most easy protein to cook in the Instant Pot is chicken. There are so many chicken based instant pot recipes out there. Prep a week’s worth of chicken breasts for desk lunches in minutes…you can even do them from frozen! You can also cook an ENTIRE chicken in under an hour, use the leftovers for sandwiches, then use the carcass to make a flavourful stock.
