You may also have a couple of questions about Instant Pots, so let’s answer some of those now before we get into the recipes.
Which Instant Pot Should I Get?
If you don’t have an Instant Pot yet, there are a lot of options to choose from. I have both the LUX 6 Quart (which is one of the cheaper models) and the DUO 8 Quart (affiliate links are included). I tend to favor the 8 quart as it gives more room for some of the recipes and I prefer to have leftovers for my meals.
How do I clean my Instant Pot?
Every part of the Instant Pot – with the exception of the base (the part with the heating element that gets plugged in) – is dishwasher safe. This includes the lid! For further details about cleaning your Instant Pot, check out this post directly from their website on how to clean your Instant Pot.
Why does my Instant Pot say Burn?
You may have seen a message on your Instant Pot that says BURN. This is a safety protection built into the Instant Pot and means it’s getting too hot. It doesn’t necessarily mean your meal is ruined! To read more about what to do when this happens, check out this post from the makers of the Instant Pot about burn protection.
