The Modern Multi-cooker Cookbook: 101 Recipes for your Instant Pot®

Product Information

Developed for owners of an Instant Pot, The Modern Multi-Cooker Cookbook is a brilliant recipe bank for anyone who owns any brand of electric multi cooker.

An Instant Pot is an all-in-one cooking appliance that features functions that allow you to sauté, pressure cook, slow cook, make yogurt, and cook sous vide. When that’s done, the lid comes off, and the shrimp and coconut milk go in, and everything’s heated with the saute function until the crustaceans are just cooked through.This cookbook of vegan meals gives you easy recipes to shake up your weekly menu, like black chickpea curry, smoky pecan Brussels sprouts, and no-effort soy yogurt. Multicookers, especially those made by Instant Pot, have become major fixtures in our kitchens in the last several years. Another "101 Electric Pressure Cooker Recipes" by Liana Green is pretty good too, aimed at UK readers. In just a few pages in the “vegetable-focused” section, The Chef features tomato confît, chickpea and eggplant stew, butter braised cabbage, and braised shiitakes with tofu, all quietly rearranging what you think you can do in your Crockpot.

It may be hard to compete with your local takeout spot, but this cookbook makes it’s easy to create family-friendly Indian meals from scratch. In it, she offers recipes for imaginative meals that remain convenient for the cook, such as Japanese beef curry, green Persian rice with tahdig, smoky lentils, and osso buco.For example, you can make a beef and butternut squash stew to get used to your Instant Pot and then make the variation of Thai spiced beef stew once you feel more comfortable with the appliance.

Many home cooks have the same feeling when they first look at their Instant Pot’s control panel: intimidation. Jenny also works with electrical appliance brands to develop recipes that will show off their products at their best. On many of the recipes, Clark explains how to adjust the ingredients to make things work perfectly in a slow cooker, or even the slow-cook setting on your multicooker. While it’s there for a reason, I also come back to the book over and over for basics like soft-boiled eggs (five minutes low pressure, manual release, ice bath) and smart modernizations on classics like risotto with wild mushroom, pancetta, and peas. Containing 101 tried-and-tested recipes that might just revolutionise your life, expert nutritionist Jenny Tschiesche’s recipes provide a wealth of ideas for family meals from a 15-minute risotto to a ‘slow-cooked’ leg of lamb – done in 90 minutes rather than 7 hours!
