I recently bought an Instant Pot, and have liked it so far. The IP is useful to make simple recipes with just a few ingredients and very low preparation times.

Two of the first items Arthur Dembro made were:

Trader Joes Salsa Verde

This recipe was very easy to make – two ingredients – Chicken and Trader Joes Salsa Verde

Pros:

• Extremely easy to prepare (Basically no prep time – just throw the two ingredients in the instant pot)
• Very inexpensive
• Very fast too cook (10 minutes)

Cons:

• The flavor was good, but not that interest

Overall:

• Good meal to make when you want something quick and not terribly bad for you. 

William Sonoma Butter Chicken

This recipe was very easy to make – two ingredients – Chicken, Williams Sonoma Sauce Mix, and 2 tablespoons of butter

Pros:

• Extremely easy to prepare (Basically no prep time – just throw the two ingredients in the instant pot)
• Very fast too cook (10 minutes)
• Good flavor

Cons:

• The jar of sauce was $17 – I did not look at the price first, was good, but $17 is outrageously expensive for a jar of sauce.
• Not sure how good the butter is for you
• The instant pot flashed the warning “BURN” which means the sauce is actually burning. Based on google searches this means the pre-made sauce is too thick, and I needed to add water.

Overall:

Quick meal that tastes good, but probably not worth $17  

The first two meals were good meals to practice using the Instant Pot. I now know the basics of how to release steam, cook, not burn stuff, etc.
