Why We Love the Instant Pot
The Instant Pot is more than a pressure cooker—it’s a multifunctional countertop appliance that saves time and simplifies cooking. It can handle everything from soups and stews to desserts and sides, making it ideal for busy families. I love experimenting with new dishes in the Instant Pot, from casseroles and beans to muffins and even cheesecake. If you need fast, reliable weeknight meals, this appliance and the recipes below will help.
Quick Instant Pot Tip: Corn on the Cob
The Instant Pot steams corn on the cob incredibly fast and consistently. No special recipe required—just follow these simple steps:
- Place the rack in the bottom of the pot, add the ears of corn and ½ cup of water.
- Close the lid and set the vent to sealing.
- Cook on manual/high pressure: 8 minutes for 2 ears; 10 minutes for 3–4 ears; 12 minutes for 4–6 ears; 15 minutes for 6–12 ears.
- Allow the pressure to release naturally.
- You can cook corn with the husk on—just trim the ends. Once cooled, the husk and silk slide off easily.
