Instant Pot Recipes

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 weeknight 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 publish all reader’s comments, positive or negative (unless it’s obvious spam, profane, or lacking value), 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! Whether you want meals you can make in 30 minutes or you’re looking for comfort food, you’re certain to find at least a few recipes you’ll love in the list below.

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.
