I haven't posted here in a long time but if anyone can help me I know it's you folks. My DH and I don't really exchange Christmas Gifts. We just kind of tell each other what we'd like and if it's something specific we order it ourselves. Saves a lot of returned or never used gifts.

 

This year I'm getting an Instant Pot Pressure Cooker for Christmas. I bought it on Friday on Amazon of $78.55 in one of their daily deals. Now my problem is I don't know the first thing about electric pressure cookers. Could anyone give me a suggestion as to a good simple pressure cooker cookbook. Thank you in advance and thank you for all your great posts.

@ChouChou congratulations on the Instant Pot and the incredible price!  I know you will enjoy using it as much as I do.

 

Please know it does come with a small recipe book to get you started.  I wish I could help you with a recipe book recommendation but I usually just browse around online for recipes and tips.

 

Again, enjoy!

there are some websites about pressure cooking as well, when I got my IP I got some books from the library, but I found it was easier to use the internet and the Facebook group.

I used my IP during thanksgiving and it was great,

I'm a fan of Bob Warden's Great Food Fast, which is geared toward electric pressure cookers.  All the recipes we tried have been winners.

 

I know many follow Miss Vickie (has cookbook and website), but she mostly deals with traditional stove-top pressure cookers.

 

Have fun with your new purchase!  An Instant Pot is on my wishlist when my current electric pressure cooker bites the dust. Smiley Wink

There are many, many recipes online...just "Google" pressure cooker recipes.  Actual many of your current favorites can be adapted to the pressure cooker without a special recipe as long as they contain enough liquid to generate steam.  Find a recipe for a similar type of meat to get the time; you'll soon be able to judge that for yourself.
