Review: Step-by-Step Instant Pot Cookbook

I'm new to the Instant Pot craze and having a grand time making all kinds of dishes with great satisfaction. I ordered this cookbook to be a base reference for the many traditional dishes of an American home.

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.

Another small disappointment is that overall the recipes are a bit too pedestrian and there is a strange focus on a certain cream cheese product (Boursin) that appears in a half dozen offerings. Weird.

The dessert section holds little interest for me aside from custard because the moisture content for this appliance is necessarily high. I wouldn't want cheesecakes and brownies that turn out that way. But a big part of the appeal for the Instant Pot is the fact that many techniques can be accomplished within an electric pressure cooker and that makes its convenience of use a big draw. Perhaps nine different methods are not the ideal way to get a recipe done. The notion that some version can be created while using only one machine is very attractive.

I am happy to have ordered this. There are many useful ideas and so far they are all tasty.

This is the best Instant Pot cookbook ever written. It truly is step by step when it comes to how to use your Instant Pot. The recipes are just delicious and varied. Toss out all your other cookbooks and just keep the ones from this series of four.

This is the BEST written reference book for the instant pot. Excellent for any beginner and beyond!

I refer to it all the time when I use my instant pot. The recommended timing for cooking is perfect, so it the amount of liquid needed.
For the first time I got the best rice ever, and chicken is cooked to perfection!

I was intimidated when I received as a gift an instant pot. This book made it easy for me to learn how to use it successfully.

Kudos to the author!

I’ve made six recipes so far. All have been super delicious and easy. Highly recommended!!!!

When I got my instapot, I didn't get any information on how to actually use it. Recipes told you what to do but not how to do it. This Cookbook spells everything out. It's exactly what I needed.

This is exactly as described. Step by step. Awesome for beginners.
