My Instant Pot changed how I cook. I’ve had her – she’s named Potsy – since 2015, and acquiring her has changed a great deal about how I approach meal planning, meal prep, and my general confidence in getting dinner (and breakfast. And lunch, now that I think of it) on the table. I can’t say enough good things about her, and if you don’t have one, it’s well worth the counter space. Sure, you could make most of these recipes on the stovetop, but the hands-off nature of cooking with an electric pressure cooker is, as far as I’m concerned, its main attraction.
