The
Essential Instant Pot Cookbook: Fresh and Foolproof Recipes for Your Electric
Pressure Cooker – Coco Morante (Ten Speed Press)
Full disclosure up front: I am a huge fan of the crock
pot or slow cooker and have used them regularly for over three decades in
various shapes and sizes for a WIDE variety of dishes.
So when it came to the thought process of utilizing a
pressure cooker or in this case Instant Pot, I admit to being a little puzzled
by the speed at which these recipes could go from prep to table. I am a fan of
soups, stews and chili so I naturally gravitated towards trying those kinds of
recipes as a test run for the device.
Author Coco Morante has loaded up a range of things
that cover an amazing spectrum of tasty delights in The Essential Instant Pot Cookbook: Fresh and Foolproof Recipes for
Your Electric Pressure Cooker. I took a swing at the chili and carefully
following the recipe I was pleased with the results. One thing I did notice as
a tried a few more of these offering is that the pressure cooker is not quite
as forgiving as the crockpot. If things are off a little bit with the crockpot,
a couple of tweaks can turn things around flavor-wise. I did have quite the
same success with the Instant Pot.
Armed with Morante’s collection, I will confidently
create tasty meals at breakneck speed, but when it comes to throwing everything
and the kitchen sink into making dinner, I will stick with the crockpot.
