January Theme – Instant Pot
I’m super excited to cook with Instant Pot during the month of January. Your meals are going to taste SO GOOD this month, pinky promise!
In September, I wrote 10 reasons I’m not buying Instant Pot. Black Friday – I bought it. At the end of January, I wrote 15 Things You Should Know About an Instant Pot.
Clearly, it has been a rollercoaster of emotions but so worth it. I love my electric pressure cooker!

So glad you are doing Instant Pot recipes! My main issue with my Instant Pot is how much liquid to put in when I’m trying to convert a traditional recipe to Instant Pot. Many times I end up putting too much liquid in and then it won’t come to pressure and cook properly. Very frustrating. Definitely a learning curve to this appliance.
Hi Carrie. I recommend reading this article about max levels. You should have no issues with pressure afterwards. This appliance is mathematical haha. I found regular recipes need some adaptation because during pressure cooking many ingredients get overcooked and flavours intensified. So, really a mathematical approach by trying what works. I hear you. Well, you will enjoy this month’s recipes then.
