I have to confess – I’m an Instant Pot newbie. I only JUST got one, and am a little confused on how to use it / am afraid I might blow the top off my new apartment (only kidding). I’d been wondering about them for a while since I devoured my way through Nom Nom Paleo’s first cookbook, and she had a couple recipes with an Instant Pot in them. To be honest, it looked like a scary kitchen tool (and you know me, I’m not intimidated by much in the kitchen!) But then, I got my hands on Nom Nom Paleo’s newest cookbook, Ready or Not…and I KNEW I needed an Instant Pot. But I’m not newbie to making meal prep easy and fast. So I knew I had to get over my fear of pressure cooking and make some Instant Pot recipes for you guys!

Fun fact about the Instant Pot / Electric pressure cookers – they can also double as a slow cooker, a sauté pan, steamer, rice cooker, cook hard-boiled eggs for you…the possibilities are basically endless for this amazing kitchen tool. It will also not blow up like old pressure cookers (because they’re electric and self-monitoring) – for the win!

For this post I worked with my friends Stacie and Jessica of the Real Food Dietitians, so we could come up with the most totally epic and delicious roundup of 30 Instant Pot Recipes for you guys! So I’m giving you guys 15 of my favorites, and then you can head over to their page to get their 15 favorites!
