Help. I have an Instant Pot. I replaced my crock pot and I find myself too intimidated to use it. I did make chicken the other night that was partially frozen and it came out pretty good. But I'd like to make meals and I'm wondering if any of you have any ideas. I know there's websites and I've been trying to read up on recipes. Any practical advice?

I don't have an instant pot but I've heard great things about them.
Hopefully someone else will chime in with some help for you!

I have an Instant Pot and I love it. From what I've read, although I haven't tried it, the slow cooker function is not the greatest.
I use mine for steel cut oats, rice, chicken, spaghetti squash, orange chicken, Mongolian beef, and Greek yogurt. The yogurt is my favorite!
The first recipe I tried was for ham and bean soup. 30 minutes cook time with unsoaked beans! Just remember to allow time for it to come to pressure and for the release at the end. So, my 30 minute recipe was closer to 45 minutes.
I've found my recipes on Pinterest and I'm also a part of the Instant Pot Facebook page.
I forgot, you can also make an amazing cheesecake in it.

The best advice I can give you is that typical when a recipe gives you a cooking time, that does not include the time it takes for it to come to pressure so allow time for that.

Well, this is what baffled me because it would set its own timer for,say,30 minutes and the little pressure button wasn't elevated so I thought this can't possibly be done. I guess I just need to use it more and figure out all the little tricks. Thanks so much for this info |
