Reddit reviews Dinner in an Instant: 75 Modern Recipes for Your Pressure Cooker, Multicooker, and Instant Pot® : A Cookbook

Our starter meal was shredded chicken, it got us hooked on the instant pot. It makes 6-8 meals worth of shredded meat in mayyyyybe an hour total. It refrigerates really well, can be used for tacos or plates, and tastes delicious.

• 2-3lbs chicken thighs or breasts. I think thighs taste best (and are definitely cheapest), but some people don't like the texture
  
• 1 16oz jar salsa verde (aka "green salsa")
  
• Salt, pepper
  
• 25 minutes on high
  
• Natural release
  
  When it's done, use two forks to pull the meat apart and shred it. If you don't have taco shells handy, it pairs well with a can of black beans, lentils, or any green vegetable.
  
  For books, I would recommend Instant Pot Obsesssion to start, and Dinner in an Instant once you're a little used to it. The Garlicky Pork Shoulder recipe in Dinner in an Instant is amazing and very easy.

These are my three favorites. All three have pretty foolproof recipes and everything I've made from them has been totally delicious. Some of the recipes are more complicated than others, but generally they're mostly all made in just one pot and have a nice variety to choose from.

  Really I just think about of what I'm craving and Google that thing cooked in the InstantPot, some recipes are good, some are bad. It's just a matter if figuring out which blogs and sites know what they're doing. Also I'll adapt Slow Cooker or Dutch oven recipes
  
  I also suggest the following cook books for one pot cooking:
  
  
• One Pan Two Plates
  
  
• All-in-One Dutch Oven Cookbook for Two
  
  
• The Essential Instant Pot Cookbook
  
  
• Dinner in an Instant
