Why we love our instant pot:
- one pot = less dishes – I mean.. need we say more? the less dishes the better
- time saver– Instant Pot recipes are usually quick, so they’re perfect for busy nights or days when you forgot to prep something and need dinner in a pinch!
- great for meal prep– When I meal prep, I wind up using every appliance in the kitchen. I have the crockpot, oven, and stovetop going. If I can use my instant pot too – I’m all over it!
What is the best instant pot?
Here is a link to the instant pot I have! I’ve had it for almost a years and it has been great. It definitely is a big piece of kitchen gear, so if you’re short on storage or want something smaller, this mini instant pot might be for you.

I’ve found that it can be difficult to cook pork in the instant pot because it can be tough, but these recipes look delicious and super tender.

Paleo Chili can be made in the instant pot, slow cooker or on the stovetop. It calls for turkey but you can also use beef/ground chicken.

Love your site. I am a startup blogger and appraise your affliate article. Your recipes look awesome.
Friendly suggestion: You should add an instant to your kitchen must haves being you have such a great article. Hope that helps you in return.
Blessings
The Clean Eating Couple
Thanks for the suggestion, Eric. The instant pot actually isn’t one of our favorite kitchen must haves- we usually don’t recommend it because it’s a bit bulky and can be confusing. We prefer our crockpot more.
