Instant pot cooking is not a new thing at all. But a lot of people struggle to cook good food for them and their family. I have never thought that this book will help me so much in my cooking. But this book is absolutely perfect for anyone who wants to know everything about instant pot cooking. Also there are a lot of recipes given in this book. These recipes can be cooked in a very short time and they are very healthy to eat. The recipes are described in depth for all the readers of this book. I really liked it.

I just got my instant pot and love it but I couldn't get the times for cooking right. I purchased the cookbook for that reason plus the book has lots of recipes. I am using my instant pot 3 to 4 times a week. Things come out like they should, not over or under done. I have already invested in a second cooking book for more advance cooking.

This book is good for a pressure cooker beginner with The book starting with a how-to-guide, it is easy to get started and it even has a section about pressure cooking at high altitudes. I think this book has a wide variety of recipes that are very simple. For an easy start to pressure cooking, this is a decent book to have. What is particularly interesting is the electric pressure cooking time charts in the back of the book.

The first dish I made was a hit and was easily done using this Instant Pot. Like any instrument, learn how to use it by reading the instructions and do a simple test run.  Enjoy!

I've been muddling through with my Instant Pot for the last year or so because the directions that come with it aren't all that precise and because recipes I've found online haven't always worked because they weren't well-adapted for an electric pressure cooker.  I decided that it was finally time to buy an actual cookbook that had recipes specifically geared toward the Instant Pot.  These recipes are mostly golden, especially since they are precise about the pressure levels, settings, and times both within the recipes and how long the recipe should take.  For instance, it will says things like "use natural release pressure for 8 minutes" instead of the less precise "use natural pressure release" that I've discovered often results in overcooked food.  I also love the charts in the back that specifically divide dried beans from soaked (I never knew before whether I was seeing dried or soaked bean times) and that offer tips for success.  Again, in the case of beans, the author suggests using low pressure for 1 pounds of more to lessen the foamy overflow.  Thanks, Ms. Zimmerman!

The recipes themselves are pretty good, although some are fall into the category of "Why in the pressure cooker?"  I had heard that risotto in the pressure cooker was excellent, and this book proved that to be true.  The book contains recipes from all sorts of cuisines:  Mexican, Italian, Chinese,  and Indian as well as traditional American from the South and New England.  Using the recipes from this book has given me more confidence to be able to adapt other recipes to the Instant Pot.

I really should have bought this cookbook a year ago, but I'm glad to have it in my kitchen at last.

I love my Instant Pot and this was a good book for a non-cook to start with. I usually get all my receipes online, but it's nice to have the cookbook as a hands on reference.

I am so glad I got this. I love my instant pot but I have a hard time finding recipes besides Pinterest and that takes forever for me to get to a recipe after the long blog posts. I did take away one star because I am a visual person. I like to see what it is going to look like before I make it, but I still gave it four stars because it has so many recipes for the Instant pot!/ Thanks author for your book.!

I purchased this cookbook to go along with my Instant Pot.  The recipes are simple, easy to follow and use real ingredients.  No "can of this or can of that" here.  Every recipe I have made has turned out amazing and I often recommend this book to others who are planning to purchase a pressure cooker.  In addition, it offers a great chart at the back of the book for various meats and veggies  you may be cooking along with the pressure and appropriate time to cook them.  I really appreciate this reference.

A decent add-on to include along with an Instant Pot if you're giving one as a gift, or for new Instant Pot owners confused as to what to do with their acquisition, it's got some basic, and a few not-so-basic, offerings. I love to cook and I'd say less than 1/3 appealed to me, personally, as things that could actually be done better in a pressure cooker (which, to be fair, is what the Instant Pot primarily is).

There's also a far greater diversity of Instant Pot-specific recipes available, for free, online, including most of what you'll find in this. There are whole websites devoted to this thing, which has somehow gained a cult following. I admit I succumbed to the hype last year during Amazon's Black Friday, and will say it's easily the best electric pressure cooker I've ever tried, but it's also not a miracle product, and no better than my stovetop pressure cookers I've used, and enjoyed, for years. (It's also inferior to my Zojirushi rice cooker, for that specific task, FYI.)

Anyway, this is fine, and does have clear, step-by-step, Instant Pot-specific instructions for a fairly wide variety of recipes, some good, some not so much. It's definitely geared as an introductory offer and, for that, it's not terrible, but I for those who already know how to use their cookers, I personally prefer&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Pressure-Cooker-Perfection-100-Foolproof-Recipes-That-Will-Change-the-Way-You-Cook/dp/1936493411/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Pressure Cooker Perfection: 100 Foolproof Recipes That Will Change the Way You Cook</a>&nbsp;which has a great variety of recipes for things that are actually superior when made in a pressure cooker, unlike this one who throws in some things that the cooker actually makes more convoluted.

This book has a decent assortment of formulas. I've attempted a couple and they were great. I'm happy I got it since it empowers me to get more use from my moment pot. We are new to the Instant Pot and this cookbook assists with exceptionally delicious recipes. Highly prescribe this book

This taught me how to use my instant pot and gave tips on helpful accessories and why/how pressure cookers work.  I was new to this so it was enlightening.  Read if you are new to pressure cooking.  Read if you are new to the Instant Pot.  I'm now finding so many more uses for the Instant Pot and am no longer afraid to try something.
