Instant Pot Bone Broth is a basic broth recipe that you can make with pretty much zero effort in your pressure cooker.

Whole30 Instant Pot Beef Recipes
These Whole30 Instant Pot Beef Recipes all look SO yummy. Which one would you try?
Instant Pot Pot Roast from Recipes from a Pantry – Typically pot roasts take hours to cook, but this pressure cooker version only takes a fraction of the time to make!

Instant Pot Beef Stew that everyone will love! This quick beef soup is delicious, healthy, hearty and so tender from the pressure cooker.
Whole30 Instant Pot Pork Recipes
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.
Instant Pot Pork Carnitas from Tessa the Domestic Diva are SO delicious. Carnitas are one of our favorite meals. We like to serve them with Pineapple Mango Salsa!
Healthy Crockpot Pulled Pork is one of my absolute favorite recipes. I love to make it in the slow cooker, but it’s great in the pressure cooker too!

Whole30 Instant Pot Turkey Recipes
Whole30 Stuffed Peppers are one of my favorite recipes. They’re great in the slow cooker or oven, but even quicker in the pressure cooker!
Smoky Chipotle Turkey & Sweet Potato Chili from Peas & Crayons looks so awesome! Chili’s are one of our favorite meals to make on Whole30!
Healthy Turkey Meatballs are one of the most popular recipes on my site, and for good reason! They’re great in the oven, but when you’re short on time – opt for the instant pot!
Instant Pot Turkey Breast from Clean Eating Kitchen looks like the perfect way to make turkey. Save the bones and make Leftover Turkey Soup!
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.
BBQ Chicken Meatloaf might seem like a strange thing to make in your instant pot but it is SO yummy. Gluten, dairy and sugar free – but not lacking in flavor at all!
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!

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

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.
