In his finest cookbook to date, Shumski (Will It Skillet??) demystifies the Instant Pot, a multifunction electric appliance that can act as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, steamer, and more. He thoroughly explains how to operate, clean, and troubleshoot the machine, and then shares 100-plus recipes showcasing its versatility. The prospect of being able to cook dried beans and tough cuts of meat in mere minutes will prove irresistible to many readers. Dishes such as no-stir risotto, Korean-style short ribs with garlic and ginger, split pea soup, and creme fraiche were developed for six-quart models, specifically IP-DUO60 and IP-DUO Plus60.
VERDICT This approachable title reveals a path to faster, less laborious meals. Highly recommended for students, small apartment dwellers, busy professionals, and anyone interested in fast, mostly hands-free cooking.
