Share your favorite instant pot recipes with me?
So I told my BF that I want an Instant Pot for Christmas. He said he wanted to surprise me with a gift and I shouldn't know what my gift is. I said, I would rather have a gift that I want and will use. Well, a large box came from amazon and he said it's my gift. I am crossing my fingers that it's an Instant Pot!
I know quite a few of you love yours. I have read up on them online and I know they can slowcook, pressure cook, make yogurt, and do everything but clean your house. I have a feeling I am going to have to spend some serious time with the instruction manual. But if anyone has any awesome recipes to share (the link or the entire recipe), that would be great. Warning, I am not a red meat eater but I make a ton of chicken and turkey dishes, and I use ground turkey as a substitute in chili and tacos and stuff.
Thanks in advance!
Ok...so for real...I am starting to feel like this is THE thing I need in my life that I never knew existed but now MUST have. Those of you that have them, are they truly as awesome as they sound? Eagerly waiting to read the recipes ya'll respond with here.

With the Instant Pot, you can move the slow cooker to the guest room (well, OK, that's where mine is anyway). I can't bring myself to actually get rid of it just yet! LOL
It will brown your food first, then pressure cook, then keep warm for as long as you want.
I'm not sure what the other great things it can do just yet... but I know I have one now, and I'm a happy camper ROFLMAO

I got a second one. I just can't imagine coming without it.
One of great poits for them is ...you set it and walk away. Do other stuff and come back to a fully cooked meal., almost always prep and cook time less than 1 hour. Ever on things like ribs or stew. No watching the pot boil.
I like ground bison or lean beef - but it can be tough. I brown the ground bison in the pot, top it with store bought (WF) tomato paste..And in 30 min I have Great and "fluffy" meat sauce that taste like I cooked it for 3-4 hours.
We can eat that as is or make stuffed peppers (10 min) or other stuffed veggies, people like it to hard boil eggs.
I cook rice in it and winter squash. Etc.
I make bone broth - so it takes 4 hours instead of 48 hours and the smell is not bad. (cooking bone broth stinks).
Etc etc..
Chicken - top it with salsa, come back to "taco chicken" ...
You can use frozen meat and veggies.
Or you can bake a cheesecake. _i have not done that yet)
