The team decided to start with the the Road Map: Mac & Cheese (“road map” meaning “customizable” here). This was a true test of the Instant Pot, as all three of us had tried recipes in the device where the pasta turned out mushy and the cheese curdled. This one was a resounding success! The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was incredibly creamy. Even the leftovers were amazing. This is one of many “Road Map” recipes in the book, meaning the final results are adaptable to your own personal ingredient preferences. Which recipes have you made from Dinner in an Instant, or from the other nominated books? Let us know in the comments!

It has been the most amazing experience to have people writing to me and letting me know they are making and enjoying my Instant Pot recipe book.Limón’s book has a similar aesthetic to Indian Instant Pot Cookbook, as it looks more like a manual, with few photos. The consensus: Not all the recipes were a home run, but there are some true hidden gems in here that are sure to win you over. The easiest-to-follow Instant Pot cookbook ever: 100 delicious recipes with more than 750 photographs guiding you every step of the way Whether you’re new to your electric pressure cooker or you’re a pro, you’re going to love this round-up of the Best Healthy Instant Pot Cookbooks. There is something for everyone in this book review. Say your kid wants an artichoke with his dinner (don’t laugh, it's happened!). Why boil it for over an hour when you can have a perfectly cooked artichoke in 25 minutes? Or perhaps you want to hard-boil a dozen eggs for some healthy lunches? In the Instant Pot, it takes just 3 minutes (plus a little bit of time to come to pressure, of course). Want to make chili with dried beans and can the canned ones? Don’t worry about soaking them—with an Instant Pot, dry beans take just a bit longer to cook than it does to open a can. For us, as for many of you, the Instant Pot has opened doors to fulfilling weekday meals without too much fuss, and we were excited to put this workhorse to the test to find the best cookbook to go with it.

An Instant Pot is an all-in-one cooking appliance that features functions that allow you to sauté, pressure cook, slow cook, make yogurt, and cook sous vide. The Instant Pot is a brand of electric pressure cooker that, well, cooks food under pressure, which allows for a much faster cooking time than traditional stovetop or oven cooking. So, without further ado, here is my list of the best healthy Instant Pot Cookbooks, with a few bonus recommendations at the end. Utilization of the Instant Pot. Clark’s goal when writing Dinner in an Instant was to provide recipes that showcased the strengths of the Instant Pot. She succeeded, as her use of the Instant Pot not only highlighted the device’s strengths but also enhanced the cooking process in terms of taste, texture, and time. Rosa selected the Arroz con Tres Leches. Unfortunately, this recipe was not exactly a success. When Rosa opened the Instant Pot after the allotted time, she was greeted with very soupy rice. While it was tasty, it was not the creamy rice pudding she had hoped for. Rosa decided to improvise, using the sauté function to help get the pudding closer to the correct consistency. Rosa chose Limón’s Barbacoa Pollo as her second dish: It was fall-apart tender and super easy to put together.Versatility. Dinner in an Instant also passed the versatility test with flying colors. Clark provides instructions in practically each recipe for the pressure cooker and slow cooker settings, and she also offers some recipes for the yogurt and steam settings. As for the range of recipes, she covers everything from beans and grains to meats and vegetables, not to mention desserts. She showed that this machine can do it all. There is no set rule for how many recipes a cookbook contains. They can range anywhere from 50 to 500. If you want a practical cookbook brimming with options that you’ll explore for years to come, try aiming for a cookbook that has over 100 recipes in it. If you don’t want to be overwhelmed by sheer choice, or are a newcomer to a certain type of cooking, a smaller cookbook may be better. Madhur Jaffrey’s Instantly Indian Cookbook, like Pitre's book, focuses on Indian cuisines, but the two volumes couldn't be more unique. A beautifully designed book with some great photography, Jaffrey's makes use primarily of the Instant Pot's pressure-cooking setting to develop some seriously tasty recipes. Delivering consistent results with incredible flavor, Jaffrey's book proved that the Instant Pot really is a game-changer when it comes to re-creating your favorite Indian recipes at home. Robin also made Baingan Bharta, a tasty mashed eggplant dip. After charring the eggplant using the Instant Pot’s sauté mode, the eggplant is then cooked under pressure, transforming it into sweet, smoky goodness.

The book is printed on heavy vinyl paper in a colorful yellow plastic coil binder. The format is fairly large print and all recipes are printed out with pictures. My only complaint is the pictures are pretty small so details are not quite as clear as I'd like. Still, the directions are uniform and simple making that a tolerable deviation.
