If you’re not familiar with the Instant Pot, let us tell you why this multi-use tool is our weeknight warrior. It saves time and space — this genius tool can pressure cook, slow cook, steam, sauté and more! You can whip up a chicken that tastes like it’s been braising for hours in just 20 minutes, or make a creamy oatmeal that will slow cook all night and be ready to eat in the morning. The possibilities are endless. To get you cooking on your Instant Pot, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite recipes for you to try out this week.
Green Chili Chicken
Spice up dinnertime with this green chili chicken from Serious Eats that comes together in just 30 minutes! Packed with tender braised chicken thighs, tomatillos and poblano peppers, Serious Eats says not to add any additional liquid to the pot so you get an intensely flavorful stew.
Beef Ragu
A great ragu can take up to ten hours to braise to perfection, but this version from The Modern Proper will have you eating in a fraction of the time. The beef simmers with tomatoes, carrots, and fresh herbs until tender and shreddable. The thick Sunday gravy will taste like it took all day to make — but it only took you an hour!
Mushroom Risotto
We love a decadent risotto, but it can be such a pain and so time-consuming to make over the stove. Here, Damn Delicious takes the fuss out of risotto with this no-stir version for the Instant Pot with mushrooms, spinach, peas and freshly grated Parmesan.
5-Ingredient Mac and Cheese
When lunchtime rolls around and the kids (or yourself) get hangry, Instant Pot mac and cheese is just what you need! This recipe from Food Network comes together in a flash. You’ll never think about that boxed stuff again!
Frittata
No need to turn on the oven or the stove for this super simple frittata recipe from The Spruce Eats! Fast and easy with very little hands-on work, the result is a light and fluffy frittata that’s perfect for any meal and completely customizable.
