10 delicious recipes to make with your brand new Instant Pot

If you're like me, then Santa hooked you up with latest and hottest culinary trend: the Instant Pot. 

In case you didn't know, 2019 is all about pressure cooking, and the Instant Pot does that and so much more. 

The kitchen appliance is a fantastic pressure cooker that can cook anything from rice to oxtails, but it also has different functions that make this pot a one-stop shop for making elaborate dishes. There is a sauté option that can cook down onions and celery for the beginning of a soup, and it can also heat up and cook things like a slow cooker does, too. 

Given the Instant Pot's versatility, it can be intimidating to come up with a good recipe to make with the appliance. We searched the internet far and wide to find the easiest, most delicious and fun Instant Pot recipes. Enjoy.
