Ever since I got my Instant Pot, I’ve been on the quest to find and create delicious Instant Pot recipes my family will love. This small appliance has completely transformed our dinner routine for the better!
My Instant Pot Recipes
Depending on my mood, I’ll adapt one of our family’s favorite recipes for the Instant Pot OR I’ll create a new recipe from scratch based on flavors we love. Not all of my attempts have been successful, so a lot of my efforts never make it to the blog.
I only publish recipes that get my family’s seal of approval. And I never delete reader’s comments, positive or negative (unless it’s obvious spam), that way you can see what has worked (or not) for others.
I used my Instant Pot for months without purchasing any accessories, so they definitely aren’t necessities. However, if you’re already in love with your Instant Pot and ready to see what else it can do, check out these essential Instant Pot accessories.
Now, onto the Instant Pot recipes!
I’ve organized the Instant Pot recipes by category to make it easier to find what you’re looking for. Farther down, you’ll find lots of additional information about the Instant Pot, along with tips and helpful resources.
Instant Pot Chicken Recipes
Chicken is my favorite protein to cook with since it works well with so many other flavors and all of my kids will eat it without complaining. That’s why you’ll see an abundance of Instant Pot chicken recipes on my site.
