The instant pot has made pressure cooking safe and fun! Check out my step-by-step recipe tutorials or videos on my website. If I was to choose one must-have kitchen appliance it would probably be the Instant Pot. Once I figured out how it works, I developed my own Instant Pot recipes. Mainly one-pot meals, Dulce de Leche, mashed potatoes, roast, transforming dried beans into tender beans, all in under 1 hour. This would take hours on the stove but pressure cooking truly reduces that time.
