One of the things I really love about my instant pot is that it is a great tool for when you need a simple, hands off meal. This cookbook is great for that — solid recipes that aren’t overly complicated. It would be nice if there were more pictures, but the recipe range is good.

While I love my instant pot, I find that there are so many recipe books - this book is top of the bunch so far. There are a wide variety of recipes, all simple and easy to follow. With five ingredients, the possibility of dinner on the table super quick is attainable and undaunting. The recipes are mostly healthy, and each recipe includes nutritional information, so the values are easy to see at a glance. While I may not purchase this book, I think it offers a great, easy recipe book to those just starting out with the instant pot. Thank you for my copy NetGalley!

This cookbook is perfect for a beginner in using the Instant Pot . Detailed and easy steps to follow. The book delivers what it promises: 5 ingredient recipes.

I love cooking recipes with as little ingredients as possible and still be able to make delicious foods.

Really useful book for those that want simple recipes for their instant pot! It makes sense that someone using a time-saving cooking device would want simple recipes too.

I liked this cookbook but there just didn't seem anything "new" about it. Maybe there are just too many "5-ingredient" recipes books out there. Not sure.

Presentation was great and I enjoyed the photos.

Instant Pot and 5 or less ingredients, what a combination! Easy recipes that can be cooked in an Instant Pot without being complicated through the use of many ingredients..

This would be a great gift idea for new Instant Pot owners. We use our Instant Pot weekly so we're always happy to try new quick and easy recipes. The directions in this book are easy to follow.

I really enjoyed trying recipes from this Instant Pot cookbook! I liked that it was easy 5 ingredients and that I could mostly just throw everything in. This was a great cookbook to get after I just got my pot as a Xmas present!

I gotta be honest, I am not the best cook, but the introduction of the instant pot and the air fryer have helped me up my game. That being said the instant pot can be a little intimidating so a book like this is just what I needed to help me actually use it. There are some really yummy and unique recipes in here like the Moroccan Inspired Chicken Thighs. My only comment is that its called a 5 Ingredient Recipe book and most of the recipes have a little more than 5 ingredients, although still minimal! Great book!

Really great and easy to follow recipes, I have enjoyed making them.

This is a superb and simple Instant Pot cookbook. There are tons of recipe categories including the usually neglected sides and appetizers. Main dishes split by protein type which I loved for easy recipe finding.

With only 5 ingredients, excluding salt, pepper and a fat, the recipes are easier than most other books. My only critique is the lack of pictures at about 20% of the recipes.

Thank you Adam's Media and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

An Instant Pot can be an intimidating appliance for new owners. This cookbook breaks down the basics of cooking with your appliance, and the five-ingredient recipes make it easy to get started. From peanut butter and banana oatmeal to tomato basil soup, there's something here for every appetite. I would have liked more pictures (I prefer a cookbook with a photo for every recipe), but this is an approachable introduction to the Instant Pot.

This book is great for a beginner in the Instant Pot world as it explains how to use it and how you will get best results.
It is not only for beginners though it has some nice recipes with only 5 ingredients! How great is that?
No trawling the supermarkets looking for loads of different ingredients.
It is American so some of the recipes aren’t necessarily the recipes we see here. I wouldn’t say I will make them all. But overall I would say it’s worth a read.
