Awesome Step by Step Book for the Instant Pot

MKR14 — Tue, 26 Jan 2021 23:12:17 GMT

This book is sold on Amazon and it takes you through step by step from the time you purchase it to all models of the Instant Pot and sizes. It walks you through any errors that may come on the screen. I have had an Instant Pot 6qt and 3qt for a year and have learned so many things that were helpful to me. It is less than $13.00 and well worth the money.

My daughter bought three books to give with the Instant Pots she bought for Christmas gifts. Everyone loved the addition of the book.

This was written by a man that grew up learning to cook from his grandmother. Amazing book and has color photos for the recipes and tells you what to use for your specific Instant Pot.

He definitely did his research. Check it out.

You can find him along with tons of video clips of him cooking his recipes on You Tube. Do a search for Pressure Luck. His recipes are great and he is fun to watch. Having grown up on the East coast, I can relate to a lot of his humor and his East coast accent!!!!

I am going to check this out. I lost the instruction manual and paperwork that came with my Instant Pot and have never used it. I was told that I could find everything online, but I don't have a printer right now so I'm stuck. I was about to call their customer service to see if I could get a hard copy of everything, but it sounds like this book covers all models. It has very high ratings on Amazon.

Thank you!

@Northern Belle 2 I have lots of cookbooks and this is the best pressure cooker book anyone would ever need for the Instant Pots. I am sure it could help anyone with any type of pressure cooker also.

It like going to Kindergarten and then graduating from High School with all the info in it.

It does baby steps so everyone understands what he is saying as there are photos on every page. The author definitely did his research and loves what he does.

He does have some videos on You Tube as stated by @retiredatlast but there is nothing like a hard copy book to refer back on.
Let us know how you like it. The book is out of stock sometimes so glad you could get it.

@MKR14 Whats your favorite recipe that you have made in your instant pot so far?

I love the pot roast in it. I also make my Mac and cheese and then put it in a pan and bake in my Breville oven to brown the top. Both are delicious and quick to make. Soup is so easy and quick. I made Chicken Soup in 6 minutes.You can make baked potatoes in it also.

The Step by Step Book I posted has amazing recipes and easy to follow. I cook macaroni in it and it only takes about 5 minutes. You can make spaghetti in it.
Mine sautés and that is nice. I have the Duo Plus 7-in-1 Instant Pot and love it. I bought it on QVC but I don't think they have it anymore. Mine has a self sealing lid so you don't have to turn the knob on top to seal the pressure and I love that feature. Also has a place to put the lid on either side.

If you get this book I think you will find easy recipes you would love. You can hit sample for Look Inside the book at one of the pages. I hit "surprise me" and it gives you random

pages to look at. You can keep doing this for other pages to view.

Jeffrey Eisner of Pressure Luck Cooking and author of The Step by Step Instant Pot Cookbook is an absolute delight. Watch his many videos on You Tube. I don't think there's a more enthusiastic Instant Pot user than Jeffrey. His book is wonderful too and really takes the reader by the hand. Be ssure and find his website as well.

I'd also like to recommend another pressure cooker blogger and cookbook author. In my opinion, Barbara Schieving is the best pressure cooker blogger on the Internet. Her recipes just "work." I've made many of them and never had one we didn't enjoy. She's also very responsive to reader's question. Look for Pressure Cooking Today. Also check out her book, The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook: 200 Fast and Foolproof Recipes for Every Brand of Electric Pressure Cooker.

Purchase those 2 books and you've got it made.

I ordered this book yesterday after reading your post. It arrived today! He has a new one coming out in April---a Lite version of the same step by step title.

I got his book at the library, and 99% of the recipes with photos are on his website. I know some prefer a cookbook, but if you want to try some of his recipes out first before you buy the book, see the website below. His beef stroganoff recipe is good, but the time to cook the beef is way off. 12 minutes is not nearly long enough to produce tender meat. I cook it for a full 30 minutes and do a full natural release.

I also agree with another poster's suggestion of checking out the recipes from Barbara Schieving. Out of all the pressure cooker cookbooks that are out there, I have purchased three, and two of them are hers. She, too, has a website where you can try some of her recipes before purchasing her books.

https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/

Which leads me to the third cookbook I have purchased. If you have never heard of Rootitoot, you are missing something! She has two cookbooks. I only own the first one, as I wasn't interested in the recipes I saw that were in her second one. She gives step-by-step instructions for down home comfort food written as if she were your grandma right in the kitchen beside you. If I were going to buy one cookbook, it would be her first one. Her recipes are delicious. She has a website with a few of her recipes and tips, and you can see what a gifted writer she is. Anyone...ANYONE...can become a pressure cooking genius using her recipes/techniques.

https://rootitoot.com/

Her tip times section is fabulous and explains the buttons/settings on most Instant Pots. If you don't have your manual or don't understand what different settings mean, check out her Tip Time section!

https://rootitoot.com/recipes-and-cooking/tip-time/

Besides websites, all three of these people have active Facebook pages if you use Facebook. Enjoy!

@MKR14 Thanks! I'm going to check this book out.

I have an instant pot that I recieved two years ago as a gift and I've rarely used it. I was confused watching some videos using different models from the one that I have.
