10 Beginner Instant Pot Recipes That ANYONE Can Make!

[@JulianDeveril]

This is great, buuuuut, what would even be better would be a video showcasing every function there is. For example, how to cook simple white fluffy rice, how to make yoghurt, etc.

[@paulasimson4939]

I've been making the exact recipe for the meatballs in grape jelly and chili sauce since the 60's. They were the "it" appetizer at potluck parties.

[@kevinjohnston1957]

I'm going shopping tomorrow. I've never heard of this before and can't wait to try it!

[@MrsDauphinee]

I use the chili sauce with cranberry sauce. Tart and sweet meatballs. Love them.

[@pattyandersen5516]

Me too. Grape jelly on top of meatloaf too.

[@sharronr]

One of my party favorites. Haven’t made it for years. If cooked on top of the stove or crock pot the jelly starts to carmelize giving you a sticky sauce. So go.

[@terrypogue]

Yikes i had forgotten that. I loved it back in the day. Thanks

[@denisec425]

I like to mix all my liquids together before putting into IP so that it all cooks combined together

[@larsonanne]

Delicious dishes! And Kristen is a gifted teacher.

[@waterstreeter]

I've been cooking with my IP's for 5 years now and love them and your guys' recipes! I recommend them to newbies all the time on the Instant Pot Community! Thanks for featuring the Lux in many of your videos! My 6-qt. Lux has been my faithful work horse for 5 years now and counting! My very best to you and yours! Take care!

[@DebLambert-g4v]

Why is pot not opening g after cooking, NEW AT THIS. THANKS,, ,,

[@yetanotherone...1814]

Phonetically, it would be wuss-te-sure but if you want a real pronunciation challenge, try Cholmondeley (chum-lee) or Beauchamp (bee-cham). Ain't English names wunnerful...

[@Nik-sh9ee]

Thanks for all of these meal ideas! I don’t cook as much as I used to and need to get back to it. Working mom here with a husband and 4 kiddos at home so this is perfect for me.

[@angelderry7236]

I love doing dry beans in my instant pot less mess and I just dump them in my crockpot in with my ham after the beans are done in the instant pot

[@Sean-ds7sw]

I just ordered an instant pot and joined your dinner club. Hopefully, I'll be able to cook some recipes as easily as you gals made it look. Tired of frozen dinners! It would be great if you did some recipes for single folks. I will have lots of leftovers when I follow the recipes. All the best, Sean

[@spartangamers7783]

Hey man, not single but lived alone for a while while my wife (gf at the time) and I weren’t living together. It’s definitely not the easiest to make single meals in a crockpot or IP just by how they are designed (pretty big) but if anything you can always try to just cut the recipe down to what seems reasonable. For just the 2 of us I might change it to just 2 breast’s or thighs etc. Learning to cook the right amount is definitely one of the hardest parts of being a home cook, but I find that learning how to reuse things for leftover meals to be the key. I love to use random meats that are from the night before and throw them into a taco/enchilada or maybe make a fried rice, anything to make it not the same protein. Just a couple tips. Good luck and happy cooking!

[@sherryashberger5979]

I have found that buying some freezer-safe containers to the size you like your meals to be (16 oz, 24 oz, etc) and when I have a batch of something that looks like it will take DAYS to eat it all, just put some of that big batch into 1 or more of those containers and freeze them... You will NOT tire or your own home-made freezer meals, because they're always handy to have and you KNOW they are delicious!. Just do a little testing for the microwave reheating, start with 1 or 2 minutes then add more time as needed. Maybe write down your best times so you'll know next time ;-D

[@susanschneider-baker49]

When pouring broth out of the box, hold the box so that the sprout is at the top not the bottom. This position allows the Broth to flow smoothly, not gulping & splashing and making a mess.

[@robinbissell6376]

I can't stand mac and cheese made without rinsing the pasta. The texture is awful.

[@dagdogg]

18:35 I prefer Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ sauce.

[@limitlessreviews1]

I highly suggest Stubbs BBQ sauce, great taste without high fructose corn syrup, instead of Sweet Baby Rays (hfcs is the first ingredient)

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good morning Six Sisters. Those homemade chicken tacos look absolutely delicious. - and so does that creamy Enchilda soup.- the perfect meal for a chilly Sunday evening. Thanks for sharing more of your great recipes. That being said, have a great Sunday and a great week full of fun, family and food. 😊😊👍👍

[@stephenkaley384]

The creamy enchilada soup recipe was delicious. I added less beef both and used more hot enchilada sauce. Thanks for sharing.

[@josephoverall1026]

You really make it seem so easy to use an instant pot. I don't own one but seeing how delicious looking the meals you are making are turning out and how fast they cook, it makes me want to go out and buy one today! 😂. Also, the prep looks super easy! Basically, with one of these, anyone can be a great cook with little to no cooking experience. Haha. I was on the fence about owning one because I was just a little intimidated that I might do something wrong and accidentally end up with a hole in my ceiling im my kitchen. 😂 But, again, you make it look so easy and safe and I have to admit, a little fun as well! Lol. Thank for posting these videos! I'm definitely going to buy an instant pot asap now! You're beautiful and awesome! Looking forward to seeing other meals you cook in the near future! Great fun ! Tyvm😁 oh and good luck with the marathoning! You'll make to Boston and do amazing! I can tell because you have a great attitude about everything it seems!

[@sherryashberger5979]

I really love that you share so much with everyone, I love your kind personality, your lovely smile, etc! I'm a little confused that this recipe for Instant Pot Spicy Chicken and Rice Bowls is quite different from the one that is on your blog. I like the rice and water going in first but I like the corn and chiles, too! So I'm trying to figure out doing a mixture of both recipes. Can you help me out a ittle bit? Thanks ;-D

[@johndunning9]

I received the 6qt as a gift. It doesn't have the same setting as the bigger ones, and I don't know if the dishes on here would even fit in it. It looks good on the counter though.

[@kimdelo9795]

She’s using a 6 st here. Don’t worry about all the crazy buttons, they’re just pre-set timers that you could just as easily set manually. You won’t use them 1% of the time, if ever. The older models have a ‘Manual’ button & the newer ones replaced it w/a ‘Pressure Cook’ label but they are EXACTLY THE SAME. If the recipe says ‘hit pressure cook’ just hit manual & vice versa. Mine was a gift & sat in its box in the garage for 3 years until Covid when I got it out due to sheer boredom.

[@kimdelo9795]

^^ a 6 QT, sheesh!

[@pamsury3969]

Do you ever take that white stringy thing off your chicken tenders?

[@johnromeo5145]

I always do.

[@Cowface]

Those open face beef sandwiches are amazingly good. I was getting compliments from the smell while reheating it at work

[@AngelaNelson-r8e]

Thank you, sweet girl, I've always wanted an Insta pot. My daughter, and her husband, got me one for Christmas, so excited😂❤

[@janemartin229]

I heard another YT'er say that a 32 oz. box of broth pours a lot better if you turn it around and have the hole at the top instead of at the bottom when you pour it. I guess it doesn't go glug, glug, glug! I thought of you because you use so much of this type broth in your IP recipes!

[@johnromeo5145]

We made the macaroni & cheese last night as a side dish with dinner. It was awesome. Only thing is I could not by the shredded white cheddar, so I used regular yellow. Still came out great. Thanks again for posting.

[@jacquelinesanders2539]

Wooster

[@happyheart2414]

I use my pot all the time especially if it would be making something that will heat my kitchen up in the spring and summer! It was the. Best item I invest to my house.

[@paulam3988]

I have tried my Instant pot multiple times and I always overcook everything even when I follow the directions exactly. Maybe I'll have to try again. Also I can't stand cleaning the thing! Any ideas how to make it easier? It's the lid that takes so long!

[@judyjohnson9610]

I'm no expert, but it seems to me that if your lid is getting very dirty, perhaps it's too full? And cut down the time if it's getting overcooked.

[@Jimreb80]

Right off the start. The chicken tacos got me. I know I already have every thing. Love my insta pot and crock pot. I hardly ever use my stove and oven anymore. lol

[@markmcdowell231]

Meals look good I did have a friend give me a instant pot and I love it cooks so much faster thank you for your recipes .

[@janetbyrne6887]

thank you made you made my dinner easy for tonight I know just what I am making the Stroganoff Recipe

[@phyllislindeboom2215]

I'm somewhat bothered. First of all never cook with foil. It puts aluminum in your food. Yes, aluminum and aluminum can cause dementia. Also when I make bar-b-que shredded pork with soda, I never use can soda due to the extra chemicals in it and although diet soda is supposed to be healthier (less calories) it is known to cause cancer so I never drink diet soda much less cook with it. Use glass soda if possible in your pork. I did enjoy though listening to these great recipes and gained some good tips too.

[@josephoverall1026]

Quick question. Do they make one large enough to fit a Boston butt/pork shoulder in so i can make bbq pulled pork sandwiches? Does anyone happen to know? 🤔

[@pattyandersen5516]

OMG. This is great! This granny needs an instant pot! Thank you.

[@richardmassey1555]

With Mac and cheese its great with cheddar and pepper jack cheeses. If you only have Velveeta type, that makes pretty good Mac and cheese, but I would add a little jalapeno diced and a little chicken base, and possibly a little onion or ranch powder.

[@lisawest4362]

I have an 8 qt Insta Pot & don't know where to start as far as can I use it like a 6 qt & only put what a 6 qt would have in it as far as Liquid & meat, etc. I am confused on do I double recipe for it? Thanks for helping me with this.

[@toddjenest3212]

Why do you use the "meat/stew" setting instead of "manual?"

[@chelev.6085]

What do you press if you don’t have a “manual” button on your instant pot? Mine has slow cook, sauté, pressure level and pressure cook.

[@freedomartwork6950]

Use the pressure cook button on your model.

[@chelev.6085]

@@freedomartwork6950 Thank you!

[@totoroben]

Once the pasta is cooked I would say making a cheese sauce for Mac and cheese or Alfredo is probably better done with a slow cooker, or possibly the slow cooker setting, like mix the cooked noodles with the cheese, milk, and butter, and just leave everything on low for a while until it is all hot and melted. If it becomes crispy in some spots those are the coveted parts.

[@KatTheOne]

I’m taking it out of the box tomorrow!

[@yvonnechojnacki2111]

I love these recipes, I love quick and easy 😋 although I'm not use to my pressure cooker, are all pressure cookers the same as the insta pot

[@toddjenest3212]

How do you add your initial seasonings "to taste?" 🤔

[@terrypogue]

If you have trouble with the word just call it worster sauce (shire) that is just the town) everyone can figure it out

[@maggiebeee66]

Here I the North of England, we don’t say ‘Worcestershire Sauce’ - it’s easier to pronounce it “Wooster Sauce”! It still tastes as good!

[@bikingal4283]

here in the south (GA) that's how we pronounced it as well in my family at least

[@jeancarson7281]

Yes I from nz can’t get over the amount of dairy in all meals it’s scary

[@alphadog3384]

Are you aware of a large recall of certain pressure cookers. Mine never was out of the box.

[@cbutler9540]

I am sure your hands are clean but you always use them for utensils 😮

[@GrowAndFlow1227]

IN THE MEATBALLS MAKE SURE YOU ADD MORE THEN 1/2 cup of water! IT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MOST INSTA POTS & her suggestion will leave you will burnt food. It’s taken me three times making these meatballs to figure that out

[@manyhappyreturn1]

Why add more salt to make and cheese...butter and all the cheese has more salt than you need😮

[@JosephVespa-ve6zi]

Wow you're intimidated by a sauce man lololol

[@paulhartman5076]

The link to the cooking course doesn't work.

[@practicalprepper47]

😀 Hi, I lived in England a few years and just thought I would try to help you with the “W” sauce pronunciation. Many, many Americans seem to have difficulty with that. The name Worcestershire is pronounced as “worse - ter - sheer”. It is not just the name of the sauce, but originated in the city of Worcester, in the county of Worcestershire. Hope that is of some use. The original was called “Lea & Perkins Sauce. Love your videos👍😀

[@kellbell60]

The opening remarks crack me up. 😂😂 I had mine in the box for almost a year. I’ve used it 3 times…as a slow cooker. I am terrified to use any of the other settings. Are you sure it won’t blow up??? Lol. I’m a plant-based/pescatarian. I’m still looking for good, tried and true EASY recipes for vegetarian or seafood based meals.

[@charlesswope6713]

Dear Six sisters; I've just started using the instant pot that was given as a gift and probably like everyone, I was afraid to use it. Until I tried it. Have made beef and broccoli and then followed your video on how to make your creamy enchilada soup. Wooooowww! That was so delicious 😋. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I've lined up some more recipes after watching your videos and beef stroganoff is next. Again, thanks for the recipe but also the easy to follow videos. I love them. Charles

[@thomaswoody9073]

What size instant pot are you using? I just bought the 8qt Instant Pot. Do I need to increase the volume of liquid that you used for my 8qt pot? If so how much of an increase in the liquid volume?

[@JennieKW]

Intresting, never knew you could throw already cooked chicken in the pressure cooker, always thought it would be overcooked and be rubbery. Game Changer. TY

[@pcjenkin]

One thing I'll say, my Instant Pot was never in the box very long. RIBS were my motivation for getting one. BBQ and Mexican Verde stile.

[@JustinD912]

I've used mine for two weeks now!

[@Lydia1271]

I would think you needed more time for brown rice

[@jbob1548]

you do. The original recipe she links to says 22 min and NATURAL pressure release

[@tmwii8795]

I've always heard you shouldn't shop when you're hungry; well worse than that, it watching your channel when hungry. TCatsup, mush to the horror of anyone reading this I'm sure. Spent a lot of time in Canada and the group I hung with did this. Having an absolute open mind to trying new foods (I had a Durion smoothie in Thailand) I tried it and loved it.

[@chelev.6085]

Unfortunately, the spicy chicken and rice bowl recipe didn’t turn out well for me. I followed your instructions to a T and ended up with a burnt warning on my instant pot and had to shut it off early so the rice turned out undercooked as well as burnt on the bottom. I don’t understand what went wrong. Maybe it would have turned out better if I had used the “rice” button instead of pressure cooking for 10 minutes???

[@wannellalawson4001]

Thank you for the recipes because I have not used my instant pot. It just collect dust. My husband always complaining about the money. He wasted on buying instant pot. Since I subscribed to your channel. You are teaching me a lot about instant pot. Instant pot here I come.

[@gail4101]

It always surprises me when people spend precious money on anything and then not use it…but I will say I was scared to use my first one, in fact, I gave two away because of my errors…you saved me, kiddo plus I figured if hundreds of people bought, used them and enjoyed the results then I could too! Now I have two Instant Pots, a 3 qt and a 6 qt…I use both…love them and my Cosori Air Fryer!!!

[@sharonbarner660]

What if you only have a 3qt instapot?

[@judyjohnson9610]

It actually holds a lot. I always have bonus meals when I am done cooking. But if you are concerned, just cut the recipe in half

[@maggiebeee66]

I too have the 3qt Instant Pot, because I live alone and I love it! I am 79 (just!) and grew up afraid of pressure cookers but, todays PC’s are so easy to use and I find I eat better using it, it’s not as much hassle as cooking via the stove and easier to clean!

[@judyjohnson9610]

@@maggiebeee66 I thought that I would never have a pressure cooker too! But I was in the kitchen section of the store one day, looking for something that was advertised. Found that it didn't suit my needs but found my first digital pressure cooker. Sold that one off as it got to be too big after my hubby passed away. Then I bought the three qt IP. My favourite part is that you just throw everything in, set it, and go away LOL
