There are two kinds of people:
People who love their Instant Pot…
and people who want an Instant Pot.
Today I’m excited to make one of you a little closer to owning your own Instant Pot!
When I went to work full-time a little over a year ago the first thing I did was buy an Instant Pot. I knew that my time would be limited and I wouldn’t be able to watch a soup simmer all day or keep an eye on my Crock Pot.
Instant Pot was a huge help for my family. We most frequently use it to “bake” potatoes, or to cook beans, rice and oatmeal.
I wrote a post called 10 Reasons I Bought an Instant Pot and I’ve come up with more reasons since then.
What You Need to Know
I get a lot of email about Instant Pots. Here is what you need to know:
- Instant Pots are safe.
- You can cook things quickly, but it’s not magic, it takes a little time to come to pressure and release pressure.
- You can use it as a slow cooker, but you’ll want this lid. I just bought it.
- You don’t have to use all of the buttons, I cook many things on manual.
- When you first unbox your Instant Pot you will be overwhelmed but it’s a lot easier than it looks.
- You can find recipes made for the Instant Pot so you don’t have to figure out conversions.
- When it is done cooking, it will keep the food warm until you are ready.
- It comes with a trivet that is used inside the Instant Pot, we set potatoes on it to steam
The Instant Pot Club
Ok, there isn’t a real “club” but there are a ton of people who use and love their Instant Pot, it’s kind of like an unofficial sisterhood (society is another alternative) (or brotherhood if you prefer) of people who love to talk about cooking with their Instant Pot. You can connect with them on Facebook or Twitter but this Facebook Group is one of my favorite resources.
There are also several great books like New Fast Food Kitchen and Vegan Pressure Cooking that have a lot of great plant-based recipes that are made in the Instant Pot. Vegan Pressure Cooking for Kindle is only $2.99 right now!

I had been debating about getting the Instant Pot or not. I work full time and could really use something like this to make my weekday evenings less stressful. Looks like I am getting sold 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway, hopefully I win.
I have had my eye on the Instant Pot for a long time! I would use mine to batch cook so I am always prepared.
I’ve never heard about this pot, but it seems like a stress reliever! I need this in my life 🙂
I have never used a pressure cooker. I would love to have an Instant Pot for all the recipes I have been collecting on Pinterest!
I have used an instant pot before at my friend’s house. I was so impressed and would love my own!
I have never used a pressure cooker. I would love this because I think it would be a huge help especially with my granddaughter living with us. Seems I don’t have has much time to spend in the kitchen as I used to. Thanks for the giveaway and for sharing all about this.
This looks like something to add to my kitchen. Makes life easier
I had added this to my amazon cart a few weeks ago but we decided it was more than we could afford for now. So I was so excited to see there was a chance to win one! We are a plant based family and I take SO much time preparing our food. Having an instant pot would make life a lot easier under here! Thanks for participating in this!
Yes, I’ve used a pressure cooker. Would love to use this with all its many other features.
Kind of terrifies me, but I know I should branch out and use it!
I love this blog. Always so interesting and such real writing
I have never used a pressure cooker, but I’ve heard so many good things about the Instant Pot. I make beans, lentils, and grains from scratch often, and it would be so handy to have them ready in less time!
I have never used a pressure cooker but I think the Instant Pot would be a life saver. My twins are now 12 and the youngest is 9. Alaina just made the basketball team and Caroline (the youngest) is also playing basketball while Sophia is at drama. Every year our evenings get more and more hectic and I begin to rely on fast, processed food to feed my family. An instant pot would be a big help as we continue to work on eating whole foods.
My friends have one and rave about it! I want one
I have read so many good reviews on the Instant Pot. I had the old style of a pressure cooker many years ago. It scared me. The Instant Pot has so many great features. Not only the food will taste good, it will be done so fast. Thank you for having the giveaway.
I have never used an instant pot or a pressure cooker, but I have always wanted one to make cooking beans faster and easier.
My daughter has one so I am excited to start using one too. I was amazed at how easy it was to boil eggs for Easter.
I’ve never used a pressure cooker of any kind, but I am impatient so this would be amazing!!!
I just learned about the InstantPot a couple weeks ago from a friend! Been thinking about getting on ever since — think it’s going on my Christmas list!
I would love to win an Instant Pot. Thank you for this giveaway!
I’ve used a pressure cooker before, but only for very few, very specific things – chicken for salad, corn… I read about the instant pot a few weeks ago and was intrigued… I think it will help out busy family make delicious, easy homemade meals more often!!
This would allow me to condense the many appliances I use. (I’m still afraid of my pressure cooker lol)
I just learned about Instant pot last month and have been curious about them since. Like the idea of cooking a nutitious dinner fast. I don’t use a pressure cooker either.
I would love to have an Instant Pot. I have used a pressure cooker but I don’t use it often. I would feel more comfortable with an electric version.
I have never used a pressure cooker. I want an Instant Pot for easy cooking.
I have used a pressure cooker. This instant pot looks much safer
i have heard how quick and easy they are and I need all the help I can get
I love my pressure cooker and this would be better!
I just started researching pressure cookers. Ive been thinking about buying the Instant Pot and just looked at the prices on Amazon yesterday. Guess I will have to wait and see if I win this one first now before i buy. 😉
i love my pressure cookers, but it would be nice to have an electric version! thanks for the giveaway!
The Instant Pot would be sooo wonderful to make homemade beans! I eat beans almost everyday and I cook them on the stove. I’ve always wanted to get a pressure cooker to cook my beans but an electric one like the Instant Pot would be even better!
I would love to get on the InstantPot bandwagon and try my hand at pressure cooking
I’ve researched Instant Pot, but I was able yet to invest in one. But I think it would really save time to cook healthy meals!
I have heard a lot of good things about the instant. Pressure cooking rocks!
I love my pressure cooker!! What I want is a SECOND pressure cooker!!! I could get so much more done and faster if I have 2 to cook with! Lol
I have never used a pressure cooker but am super curious! Would love an Instant Pot to try it out!
This article is perfect for me – if I only I lived in the US! I own an Instant Pot but wouldn’t mind getting another one if I can. I love how I can whip up yummy dishes in shorter time.
Been wanting to try the instant pot for forever. Cooking beans at home would be great!
I actually have one and adore it, therefore I would love to be able to gift this to my daughter away at university….!
I’ve never used a pressure cooker. It’s funny. My mom had one and used it all the time. I want one because it’s more than just a pressure cooker. OMG, it would allow me to cook so many different food without having to use different appliances.
Pressure cooking makes cooking so fast and easy.
Fascinated by pressure cooking!
Yes I’ve used a pressure cooker to can veggies and I’d love an Instant Pot as my Mother-In-Law has one and rants and raves about how quickly it cooks!
I’ve always been afraid to use a pressure cooker – I have memories of my mom stressing out in the kitchen when she’d forget that the cooker was on! That’s why I’m interested in the Instant Pot. Found out about it on justonecookbook.com!
Yes, I have used a pressure cooker, but never an electric one! I’ve made pork shoulder for cubanos in it!
I love my Instant Pot! It just doesn’t get any easier when it comes to things like brown rice, beans, or steamed veggies.
I used an old fashioned pressure cooker (not instant pot) once to make bone broth and never did it again as I couldn’t get pressure right and was spewing and whistling every few minutes. No thank you!
I am hooked now I want to investigate GBOMBS and plant based. Very intrigued.
I was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes and high blood pressure. I’m looking for an easier way to make healthy meals.
I have never used a pressure cooker, but I like the idea of one piece of equipment that is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, and makes yogurt
I so want one after learning about all it can do!
I love my IP so much that I pack it up and take it with me when I go to visit my son’s home 200 miles away. I think it has made the round trip close to 15 times in the 11 months I’ve owned it. I really need to get one for his house! I use it almost every day!
I’ve wanted to get one for a while now and now I want one even more!! I had no idea you could do so many things with it 🙂 Thanks!!
My grandmother swore by her pressure cooker and i love using a slow cooker. Excited to get the best of both! 🙂
I have never used a pressure cooker- I’ve always been intimidated. The Instant Pot seems more friendly. I’d like to save time in the kitchen, and the keep warm feature would be a big help also.
I’ve never used one, but wanted a pressure cooker my whole life, but always gotten talked out of getting one.. safety issues you know. I’m in my 60’s.. it’s time, don’t you think…
What a handy tool for a quick dinner. Replaces several other kitchen gadgets.
I love my instant pot. I’d love another so I can do multiple things at once.
My New Year’s resolution is to become 100% plant based, rather than the “off and on” version that I practice now. I’ve never used an Instapot, but I think it would be a very useful tool on my journey and help me to stay on track by making cooking easier!
This sounds perfect! Need to replace my slow cooker, and this seems like a perfect upgrade! Never knew how fancy pressure cookers could be!
I recently started my first full-time job and have noticed that it is often challenging to keep up my whole foods, plant based lifestyle during a hectic work week! I’ve never used a pressure cooker before, but I would LOVE to have an Instant Pot so I can save time without sacrificing delicious, wholesome food! 🙂
Instant pot!
I’m trying to make healthier food for my family, and this seems like exactly what I am looking for . .
An Instant Pot seems to be a smart use of money and counterspace. One appliance with multiple uses. If I don’t win the giveaway I think this will be a gift I buy myself!
I’ve had my eye on these for quite a while! I like to do my own beans but I’m not so great at thinking ahead. Want!
I haven’t ever used a pressure cooker, but I’d love to give it a try 🙂
This looks like it would be really easy to use!
Just discovered the Instant Pot! Thanks for the opportunity!

I have never used a pressure cooker because I am afraid of them. This is why I want an IP! Safety and convenience!
Thank you for such a great giveaway! I am jumping head first into a plant based lifestyle, and this sounds like it would be an incredibly valuable tool to help me stay on track. It’s so easy to make excuses when trying to overhaul something like the way we eat, and I am searching for tools to help me be successful in feeding my husband and three boys.
Good luck everyone!
I only recently discovered the existence of this amazing device! Would love to win one!
I want to heal my son’s leaky gut and I think this will help get nutrient dense food in him quickly!

I have a very old pressure cooker I got at a garage sale a long time ago, and am a little nervous around it. Having a modern pressure cooker, especially with the additional features, would be wonderful! Thank you for a great contest! 😀
I have only recently begun to use the canning pressure cookers I was always afraid of them. I never heard of an electric pressure cooker until recently and I would like to add that to my kitchen appliances.

I’ve been looking at rice cookers and the instant pot multiple uses make some much sense!
I have and love my ip! I sure could use a second. Or if i am feeling generous i would give it to my sister.

I have not used a pressure cooker, I would like to try because I have heard such rave reviews 🙂
I would love to own and cook with an Instant Pot!
I personally have not used a pressure canner, but I remember my mother using one to make chicken soup. I just recently found out about the Instant Pot, and I would love to own one for making vegetables of all kinds. I love that it is made out of stainless steel!
Years ago, I was afraid to use a pressure cooker, but over the last few years, I’ve realized that they’re much safer now, and I’m ready to dive in. And the more I learn about the Instant Pot, the more I want one! It seems like a safe, simple solution. Thanks!
I used a pressure cooker when I was younger and would LOVE to win an Instapot to get back to pressure cooking.
I am really a slow cooker type person, but pressure cooking can be good for more last-minute needs.
I used a pressure cooker years ago. I would love to try this new updated version!
