Thank you
Kelley

    Hi Kelley, have you tried Pinterest? There's lots of one pot recipes on there. Basically I just chuck in what I personally like and leave it to cook either overnight or all day! As long as you make a note of the calories you're putting in then divide it by how many portions you get out of it... You can't go wrong! Good luck! 🤞😊

    I think your directions would apply to a crockpot, not an instant pot. An instant pot cooks foods quite quickly, it's basically a pressure cooker.

    If I bought an Insta Pot I would also get America's Test Kitchen's Multicooker Perfection: Cook It Fast or Cook It Slow-You Decide, which is available in my library system, so perhaps yours as well.

    My library system has 101 Results for "Instant Pot", including some actual Instant Pots!

    A lot of the Insta Pots have a slow cooker setting. Mine does.

    I use my Instant Pot frequently and get most of my recipes from Pinterest. There are tons! This is seriously the best appliance I have ever owned. I love a one pot meal that's healthy, quick and ready in no time.

    Echoing Pinterest. I use my instant pot to cook proteins/grains and then roast veggies for most meals. I have taped a sheet of paper with the ratios/times of my common proteins/grains to the side of my instant pot to save time.

    For example, right now I'm eating quinoa I cooked in the instant pot with some veggie sausage and roasted Brussels sprouts.

    Later, I'll probably have some leftover bean chili I made in the instant pot, topped with crumbled blue cheese. 😋😋😋

    My husband cooks beef chuck roast or boneless chuck "ribs" with an onion, carrots, mushrooms, and green beans. My other favorite is pork loin or ribs with golden delicious apples, seasoned with garam masala or cinnamon. He uses mealthypot.com recipes

    Hi Kelley. I have an Instant Pot too and I love it. Depending on which country you're in there is a Facebook page and there is also a group on Copy Me That. I use both the slow cooker and the pressure cooker function, make double quantities and then freeze the reminder for the next week. You can even cook it from frozen if you forget to take the food out the night before.

    I also adapt my favourite recipes to cook in my pot. In fact, I cook most meals in it!
