Coming straight from the freezer to the pot is quite a time saver! This is a very useful and well organized book. I'm sure I'll be referring to it often. I like that it gives options for the varying sizes of pots.

This cookbook has the means for you to prepare meals straight from the freezer. Some prep of ingredients before freezing (cutting to proper size) will make the cook able to prepare a complete meal in very short time.

Take advantage of sales at the grocery store. Return home, break it down to portion sizes and then you will be ready at a later date to go from freezer to dinner table quickly.

I liked the information at the beginning of the book. Charts came in handy. It is a shame that the authors saw a need to tell people not to place the meat diaper in the pot. Really - people cook this on purpose?

The only thing missing in my opinion is pictures for the dishes. If you need a picture, you won’t like this book. The other item I found questionable was removing beef or ground meat after the cooking process and breaking it up. Since we do not care for ground meat, it won’t be an issue with us.

I thought the recipes were very straight forward. I recommend this cookbook.

I thought this was a great book! There were quite a few recipes that I would not likely make due to the fact that they were a bit "gourmet" for our simple family of four, but there were a few that have quickly become a regular rotation.

I recently received an Instant Pot and was excited to find this cookbook with accessible recipes that don't utilize difficult to find or expensive ingredients. It's clear that the author worked very hard to make it easy for readers/cooks to use this cookbook. However, the charts that show pertinent (recipe timing) details on how long to cook the various recipes are jumbled, which makes the charts unreadable. So while the recipes sound great, the information that shows users how to eliminate the recipe guesswork isn't helpful as shown. Hopefully, in an future update, the author and the team he diligently thanks in this cookbook will seriously take cooks who use eReaders into consideration. Lastly, I'm trying to understand WHY the eBook (electronic) version costs a buck more than the paperback version which I'm sure has readable cooking charts.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this cookbook provided by Netgalley.

This is a great tool for people like me who forget to take something out for dinner. Clear and precise recipes. Can’t wait to make the pulled pork soup. This would have been a five star book if it would have had pictures.

Easy to follow recipes that actually turn out as good as they look. I found myself utilizing this book more than once when planning menus for the week.

As the owner of an Instant Pot and several Instant Pot cookbooks already, I was really impressed by the detail that was present in this one. Even though I do cook in my Instant Pot periodically, I still find myself a bit intimidated by it. After reading this cookbook, I feel much more confident in making the recipes going forward. I'm most looking forward to how practical it will make it for me to utilize the meats that are in my freezer already without having to plan ahead days in advance so that I can thaw things out. I really like the prospect of pulling it out day of and placing it in the pot with other ingredients and viola...dinner is served.

Overall, I was fairly impressed with this cookbook and am looking forward to giving some of these recipes a go. I'm definitely wanting to try the Shrimp Creole and Shrimp Scampi. Also, several of the soups sounded yummy! If they are as good as I hope, I'll be buying a copy for my parents who just purchased their first Instant Pot.

The only downside I see to this cookbook is the lack of photos. I firmly believe that pictures enrich the feel of cookbooks. They show the reader what the recipe will look like when it's completed. It helps to show the appeal in a more visual way. I think that having pictures of at least a few of the recipes would have been a plus.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I like the ideas and clear information of this cookbook. I often have meat in the freezer and dislike what a microwave will do to meats while defrosting.

I cook a lot in instant pot, especially using fresh ingredients from beans to vegetables from my garden, well sooner or later, right now from the farmer's market. Meat is always my unknown.

The very beginning of this book has the information of what needs how much time coming from what kind of frozen state. It lists the needs for a steamer or rack and how much water and broth and then the all important time. It is possible to overcook with an Instant Pot.

This is all written in clear language and the directions are simple and easy.

I am a huge fan of the Instant Pot. I own two of the devices and started a small Facebook group to share the love, recipes and tips on using them. I also belong to a fairly large Instant Pot group on Facebook where I frequently post and comment.
This cookbook is one that I will HIGHLY recommend to every Instant Pot owner I know. It's easy to read, humorous and straightforward. A wonderful cookbook for an Instant Pot beginner or as an addition to your Instant Pot cookbook collection.
It was very apparent from the beginning the amount of research that went into writing this cookbook. From the ingredient suggestions, tips, converting recipes, which type of freezer the ingredients are coming from to what works and doesn't work. The recipe layout is simple, the chart used for cooking times made it easy to quickly check while cooking and the Beyond section after each recipe had wonderful information in it. I have tried two recipes, so far, and they were both huge hits and very accurate on times. I think my favourite part is the ingredients list. Not only is one specific item listed but also substitutions and their measurements. i.e. fresh herbs/dried herbs, heavy or light cream, vegetable or chicken broth.
I am now curious about Bruce Weinstein's other cookbooks and will definitely be checking them out.
I received an advance readers copy from NetGalley for my honest review.

I have shared a review in my Instant Pot groups on Facebook.

I do not own an instant pot, but I am fascinated by recipes because I can use them on stove or in my crock pot instead. I loved the idea that you can just pick up frozen veggies and other foods and simply use it that way. Tips are good in that book. You can even make easy sweet recipes. I wish that book would come in Kindle format too

This book is a great addition to the growing body of Instant Pot recipe cookbooks. It also addresses a necessary void, since it seems many of these cookbooks emphasize the use of unfrozen ingredients. I can see this book being a welcome addition to most public library collections.

Thank you to Netgalley, Author Bruce Weinstein and Little Brown and Company & Hachette Book Group for giving me an opportunity to read, enjoy and share with others on this ebook Advanced Reader Copy.

I look at this book as more of a resource guide to my 6Qt Instant Pot. I'm sure other readers will miss the color pictures as I did while reading it. But the information provided is insightful and detailed. This is for the cooks, like me, who believe in having a pantry, buying in bulk or on sale and need to get dinner on the table toot sweet after a long day at work. Seriously, how often have we had take out because we forgot to defrost the chicken on our way out of the house in the morning? This book saves you.

Some important highlights (to me) are the substitution ideas - specifically what will and will not work; the intro to the recipe and with this I am specifically thinking of the Tater Tot Soup. WHAT??? Yes that is what I said but the authors explain the importance of the tater tot and how you can transform them into a yummy Cheese and Potato Soup. Who Knew??

The other section I liked was Beyond - meaning beyond the recipe where you can get details on the 8 QT Instant Pot or sides or thickening a sauce or other good ideas for that next meal.

The recipes include soups, noodles, chicken, pork, beef, and seafood that are all quite simple to prepare. Personally I have tried to beef barley, chicken casserole, chili and the shrimp scampi.

This is a must have if you have an Instant Pot or planning to purchase one.

Rating 5/5

Great book with some easy recipes. Every since I bought my instant pot I have often struggled to know what to cook with it but this book and the pot now save so much time in my life!

Another wonderful effect is I can actually see some of my freeze space again! If you have an Instant Pot and only a little time or like me don't want to spend all your time looking for recipes and cooking, this book comes highly recommended!

"From Freezer to Instant Pot" by Bruce Weinstein is a useful collection of easy recipes using staples from the freezer section at your local grocery store. The book is tailored to the InstantPot 6-qt pressure cooker, but also includes directions for the InstantPot Max cooker. There is also some advice and tables for cutting the recipes to fit your size of pressure cooker, but for most people, the 6-qt, which is the most popular pressure cooker, the recipes will not require any adjustments.

From the start, the book has a very useful table with types of meats and recipes and average cooking times required to heat them up for consumption. The introduction also includes some very helpful tips and techniques for using the InstantPot, a must read for all pressure cooker newbies. The voluminous cookbook includes all the necessities: soups, noodles, poultry, beef, pork, even fish and shellfish. There are lots of great recipes here to experiment with and get a meal on the table fast.

The "Freezer to Instant Pot" claim is a bit of a 'misleading' title. The book promises no-prep instant pot meals, which is also not exactly true. There is always so prep even if you are pulling stuff right out of the freezer. What the book doesn't mean is that you make something in advance and then pull it out for a weeknight meal that you have ready to eat in minutes. However, with the simplicity of these recipes, most items can be purchased in your freezer section at the grocery store so that you can quickly get a meal on the table after a long, stressful day at work. This is the benefit of the book.

I received this as an eBook from Little, Brown and Company via NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review of the title. I did not receive any compensation from either company. The opinions expressed herein are completely my own.

It is nice to know everything you need for the meal all laid out and how to freeze particular items so the quality of the meal is there. It is also helpful to know the measurements,, so you don't exceed the fill line. I did that the first time I used the instant pot and had sticky orange chicken juice spraying out with the steam. Yuk!:) which is why I decided to read this book, and get some training. The book has a lot of good recipes. I would of like to see some desserts included with the recipes.

I received an advanced copy of this cookbook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve never read a recipe book before except to follow a recipe of some sort, but I found this book to have several good suggestions for types of meats to use and plenty of options for ingredients (for picky eaters like me). This is definitely a book that I’ll keep and use again and again.

This book is full of information and tips for anyone wanting to get the most from an Instant Pot or pressure cooker. It is primarily for the US market and the recipes reflect this. I couldn't find much at all that I would want to cook as none of the recipes really appealed. It might have helped if there were some pictures but the digital copy of received had none at all. The book might still be worth purchasing for the information and the cooking times for different cuts of meat and food from the freezer. It is not a standard recipe book more of a reference book to keep on your shelf.

I received a free digital copy of the book from Netgalley. After looking through about half of the book, and cooking a few recipes, I went ahead and ordered a paper copy of the book from amazon. I really loved the recipes. Easy, quick, and really good. And spoiled kids ate it. The recipes are charted with all the times and settings. I like that they list possible substitutions where they will work, but caution about something that will not.

I love the concept of this book. Frozen food is sometimes all I have on hand and these recipes sound delicious! I love that Bruce and Mark include their “roadmap” recipes to let cooks changes ingredients up successfully. Instant Pot cooking can yield delicious food, but alterations, even we’ll-intentioned, can ruin the dish and frustrate the cook. The roadmaps give me confidence and many important tips.

My only problem with the book lies in it’s digital galley- these essential charts were very difficult to follow in e-form. I hope that gets sorted out in the final e-edition.

This cookbook is a keeper!
