R. Bertz: This is a great resource with a great many interesting recipes which are from both sides of the pond — the more North American ones can easily be converted into British with a little tweaking; conversions are easy to do these days with a bit of help from a chart, and most recipes fit well into the smallest (3L) instantpot. I gave it a five-star rating because 4.5 wasn’t available.

The thing that would make it truly 5 star is a real index, not a list of titles at the end of the book (basically the same as the listing at the front except jumbled up). Most recipe books have an index by ingredients, ie. Chicken, peaches, buttermilk, etc. This ‘index’ works best if you are looking up words like zesty, yummy, dad, best ever, etc. Which is hardly any help if one is looking for a recipe to go with ingredients left in the fridge.

I think this index has been done by computer, not by a human who really thought about how other humans use indexes to search for information.

shellyscorpioshellyscorpio: I love the number of recipes! My only 2 gripes are that it's cheap paper and it may be copied
based on other binding.

Redrabbitt: The Ultimate Instant Pot Cookbook contains hundreds of recipes, from basic and simple to more complex dishes, but still easy-to-prepare dishes, all using an instant pot. The chapters are broken down into categories:

Basic and Simple
Breakfast & Brunch
Beans & Grains
Pasta & Rice
Fish & Seafood
Poultry
Pork
Beef & Lamb
Vegetarian & Vegan
Soups, Stews & Chilis
Side Dishes
Snack & Appetizers
Desserts
My Instant Pot Favorites

It also has Instant Pot cooking times and a recipe index. The recipes list all the ingredients, the number of servings (which seems to be 4-6 on average), and Directions.

What I like is that the recipes are REAL INGREDIENTS, not hard to find things, and there is something for everyone. The downside, which is just my personal preference, is that it contains no pictures of recipes. For the cost of $10, it is a bargain and worth it--even without pictures that would have driven up the cost of the book.

Trisha Smith - Direct Sales Support Center: I love cooking and am always looking for new cookbooks to give me more inspiration. And I LOVE my pressure cooker. I use it at least once a week, if not more often, and have felt my tried and true recipes are getting old. I needed new ideas so was thrilled to try this cookbook out. The recipes are easy to follow, well written, and I didn't notice grammatical or mechanics errors. For nearly every recipe, the ingredients were things that are simple to find (even in these tough times of COVID shortages) or items I already had on hand in my home. And the few I have tried so far have been great. The kids have eaten them (2 of my 3 are extremely picky eaters, so finding things they like is near impossible most nights) and my husband has plenty of leftovers for work the next day.

The only downfalls that I saw with this cookbook....
- The intro says there are 800 recipes in the collection, but some are simple things like making hardboiled eggs, which I do not consider a "recipe" in any way. Others are repeated. I saw a few recipes that were in multiple sections of the book. The recipes are all numbered (so number 800 is Caramel-Walnut Brownies), so I didn't have to sit and count...

MelanieMelanie: If you are a beginner (so a little insecure with pressure cookers) this book is great because it contains 800 recipes! This leaves you with a wide range of ideas for cooking your meals with your Instant Pot. Having said that, this book lacks a first premise... because I remember when I first started... I was so scared! Let me explain:

If you're not a familiar, you might have a little trouble finding your way around. First of all, there are no images in the book and we all know that pictures often make a big difference! Also, some recipes lack precision, for example one that calls for rice. The recipe doesn't indicate if it's raw or cooked rice, and what kind of rice is it? This can be a bit intimidating if you are not used to cook with a pressure cooker.

I think this book needs more detailed explanation. At least, first, find out how your Instant Pot works. Try 2-3 recipes from your instruction manual to familiarize yourself with the appliance. Then you will be able to have more fun with this recipe book ;)
