Recurring Family-Friendly Instant Pot Recipes

I bought my Instant Pot three years ago, convinced it would save me time in the kitchen. The only problem was, it seemed more complicated than my slow cooker. Why were there so many different settings? Why are the recipes so confusing—quick release, slow release, sauté vs manual. For 3 years, I only hard boiled eggs and made one curry soup.

Then after Griffin was born, I got curious again. A good friend shares how much she loved her Instant Pot, so I asked her why. She shared a few recipes and promised once I started using it the right way, I would love mine too. She was right. Thanks for her helpful FaceTime chats where she explained the main settings, I am a fan. I challenged myself to learn and love it by making 1 new Instant Pot a week. Here are my family’s current favorites:
