• Versatility: From soups and stews to perfectly cooked proteins and even desserts, the Instant Pot can do it all. Its multi-functionality means you can sauté, pressure cook, slow cook, steam, and more, all in one appliance.
• Diet-Friendly: It’s incredibly easy to adapt recipes to be low-carb, gluten-free, dairy-free, or compliant with specific programs like 21 Day Fix and Weight Watchers, as demonstrated by the recipes in this collection.
