Searching for the Best Instant Pot Dinner Recipes? You are in the right spot! Using your Instant Pot to make dinner can make fast work of this nightly task, and result in some extremely delicious dinners. This is a great list of tried and true Instant Pot Dinner Recipes, perfect for beginner and advanced pressure cooker users.
Using your Instant Pot for Dinner
I think when we all first got our Instant Pots we were a little intimidated, to say the least. Fears of blowing up the kitchen, or even the house, would play again and again in our heads. Those horrific scenes were definitely fueled by the stove top pressure cookers of the past. The electric pressure cookers of today have all the bells and whistles to prevent this from happening. So do your water test and get started using that Instant Pot today (if you haven’t already).
I love how fast I can get dinner on the table with my Instant Pot. I mean, you can even cook a whole roast chicken in 30 minutes, crazy! Or if I forget to thaw meat for dinner there are amazing recipes on how to cook with frozen meat in your Instant Pot!
Where was this magic machine 10 years ago when I had babies in the house?!
