10 Easy Instant Pot Recipes for New Owners

Congratulations. You will love this Pressure Cooker. I am so thrilled to share some wonderful and easy beginner recipes with you.

Hi Jutta~
You are most welcome. Thank you for the kind compliments. 🙂
Jill
Hi There! Thanks for this article. I’m one of the newbies that you refer to. I just wanted to let you know that your “Recommended accessories” link is broken above. The linked photo is good, but the hyperlinked text is not.
Thanks again!
Hi Cireena~
Thank you so much. I have fixed it. Welcome to the IP World.
Jill
Your link for the accessories isn’t working on my iPad. I’m not sure if it’s just me, all the rest links worked.
Thank you for sharing all your wonderful recipes!
Dina~
I am so sorry. I corrected it. Thank you so much for letting me know. 🙂

Would love to get the recipes ! New insta pot on its way !
Can’t wait to get started!
Love this blog and all in it keep cooking everyone
I love to cook now thanks to the Instant pot. I just got another one and got two more people to get them.
I made a very easy recipe for my first try. Two thawed chicken breasts with a can of cream of chicken and mushroom soup with 1/2 cup of milk and of course a few spices on the chicken. Pushed the poultry button and 10 minutes. Turned out perfect and we put the soup over the chicken and mashed potatoes to eat. I’m pleased with the first try.
Hi! I would love to get your 10 ppcxl recipies. I’m a fairly new owner of the 10qrt ppcxl and just love it so far. Do you recommend putting a little oil in the bottom of the pot first? I made ziti tonight and quite a bit got stuck to the bottom.
Spray your inner pot with PAM. I like olive oil PAM best.
Just ordered an IP for my husband for Christmas. Need recipe help!!
Thank you!
This is a big help for us newbies. My first meal in my InstantPot was Beef Stew. It was delish and a big hit. Served it with Beer Cheese Bread that I baked in the oven\ while the stew was cooking.
Thanks for the wonderful recipes. The first recipe of yours that I made was the New York Style Cheesecake; my husband wished he were all thumbs so he could give it 10 thumbs up! It’s absolutely amazing.
Thank you, Janet. I am glad you both enjoyed the Cheesecake.
Jill
You seem to be the Godess in the Instant Pot world. Everyone raves about you recipes and tips I am very new to the Instant Pot and am looking forward to trying your recipes!
Hi Patti~
What a sweet note. Thank you so much. Welcome to the World of Pressure Cooking. I hope that you will enjoy your new IP and have fun cooking.
Jill
Would like to get recipes
I’m new at this but made the “not refried beans” from the book with the IP, they are delicious with a blob of sour cream, looking for more things to try and that NY cheesecake looks wonderful
Just got my Instant Pot yesterday
Hi Marie. Congrats and have fun cooking. Jill
I just bought a pressure cooker. It isn’t an instant pot but called a Midea, but all the buttons are the same but unfortunately no instructions came with it . I decided to finally try it out today. My daughter gave me this referral so I sent a request to join. I am sure your recipe’s will work in my pot as well. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Regards Andrea
Andrea, the brand of pressure cooker does not matter for any recipe. We all have different brands of ovens and recipes are not specific to the brand of oven you use. Or toasters, or coffee makers, etc. Have fun cooking.
Jill
Was recommended to your sight as I am a new IP cooker.
Do you have a jam (blackberry) instant pot receipt? I will be traveling in the an area where there are a lot of wild blackberries and I would love to make some jam.
