10 Most-Pinned Instant Pot Recipes on Pinterest
In case you haven’t already heard, Instant Pots (and Instant Pot recipes) are all the rage right now. People love the gadget because it can pressure-cook food, which means things that normally take forever cook in a fraction of the time—we’re talking beef stew in 30 minutes instead of five hours, people! But that’s not the only thing the Instant Pot has going for it: It’s also great for meal prep, because you can make big batches of meat (like whole-cooked chicken and shredded beef), dozens of hard-boiled eggs at a time, and things like rice and yogurt, too. In no time, your Instant Pot can whip up staples that’ll last you all week.
If you haven’t invested in an Instant Pot yet, know that they’re truly worth the hype.
In addition to the magical pressure-cook setting, the Instant Pot can act as a slow-cooker, a rice cooker, and more.
