Instapot recipes.. i need your top experiences

I've never used mine as a crock pot, aka slow cooker, but it says it can do it.


One thing I do use mine with regularly are hot wings and beef short ribs.


Put wings in for about 10 min (12 if frozen) on the high setting and when it's done, let it depressurize naturally. (Don't turn the little valve on the top to let all the steam out) This takes around 15 minutes.


The wings won't look like they're done but they are. I do put them in the oven afterwards, just to crisp them up, maybe 7-10 minutes. Then toss in your favorite sauce.


Beef short ribs, I usually put into a basket on top of a trivet and cook on high, about 14 minutes.

Let the pressure release naturally and they're ready.


Just don't pour the remaining liquid down your sink. Good chance it'll clog it up but I love mine.

I make soft boiled eggs in mine every Sunday for the week. Something about the change in pressure makes the shell come off in one piece almost every time. I make chicken breasts weekly as well. Come out really juicy. Usually shred it right in the pot and use it on salads, rice bowls, tacos for easy lunches to take to work.

So far I’ve only used it to make what I normally eat. Difference is now I make meals for the week in 1/4 the time it used to take. I make black beans a lot and can put dry beans in the pot and they are done in an hour, no need to soak overnight and slow cook all day

We received one of these yesterday - Mrs. KTG is pumped up about it....I am still trying to figure it out.

Have had one for a about a month. Have done mostly beans and roasts.

Red or white beans can be done in under an hour total time including browning and cool down. Basically same recipe as doing it on the stove. I like that you can brown everything on sautée then add the beans and liquid and cook.

Have done a few chuck roasts misssissippi style and been happy with that as well. Turns roast into a possible weeknight meal.

Only other thing we’ve done is cook a pack of chicken breasts to shred for taco bowls, and as someone said it makes for come quick juicy chicken.

Agreed. Admittedly, I don’t use it often enough to truly know but so far everything I’ve made in it is not as good as the traditional method.

Maybe one of my resolutions can be to use it more. I have a really nice cookbook for it.

One of our favorites is beef and broccoli. The beef gets INSANELY tender...melts in your mouth. You just have to make sure you steam the broccoli separately and add it just before serving, otherwise it gets mushy. I usually add a can of water chestnuts, too.

There are tons of recipes online.
