I know this is a little vague since they are such different appliances, but my boyfriend and I received both this year for Christmas and have yet to use either. I am looking for some healthy, quick meals we can make in them (especially the instant pot, I find it daunting!) Also any tips or tricks for using them would be great!

Thanks in advance!!

    Check out www.reddit.com/r/instantpot and www.reddit.com/r/pressurecooking for ideas!

    I can't help with the Actifry but I've been loving my new Instant Pot. It's amazing for making broths, soups, beans, eggs, cheesecake, rice dishes and braising meats.

    This cheesecake was soooo good: https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-cheesecake-new-york/

    Hard-boiling eggs is so easy and they peel really well. Put 1c water in your IP, place eggs on trivet, set to High Pressure for 5 minutes, then Quick Release and put the eggs in a cold water bath. I got this double-trivet that fits 14 eggs and I love it: http://a.co/4DMB1ur

    This is the cheesecake pan that I got that fits into the 6qt IP: http://a.co/1MFnIAI Just don't use that pan for quiches... the mixture is too liquidy and it made a big mess lol.

    If you have a Facebook account, I highly recommend joining “Instant Pot Community” and other related groups. I bought my first instant pot over a year ago and just received a second. They are AMAZING and a complete lifesaver for meal prep and quick meals (including making meals from frozen meats)! Let me know if you have any questions :) I’m happy to help.

    Thank you all so much! I joined the community on Facebook and WOW those people are helpful. And thank you for the recipes! We are going to use the instant pot this weekend and I can't wait!
