I Love My Instant Pot 5-Ingredient Recipe Book by Michelle Fagone is good recipe book with a variety of recipes that are easy to follow and accessible ingredients. I tried 4 recipes.

The easiest and simple recipe was the Amish Inspired Egg Noodles. Super easy and tasty. Do I really need an instant pot for this? No but still tasty.

Sausage and Sweet Potato Hash was easy, tasty and customizable.

Bacon Cheddar Scrambled Egg Muffins were good and she even mentioned freezable. Thank you for telling me that. This makes the cook book go up in my estimation.

Chocolate Cherry Soda Pop cupcakes were easy and a hit or miss on actually turning out. Cherry Pepsi worked, Dr. Pepper did not. Mine were undercooked but who doesn’t love a gooey cupcake.

For criticism just be aware 5 ingredients is fudging the line a little. Staple items are not part of the 5-Ingredients. Overall this was a great cookbook if you have no idea what to do with your pressure cooker. She gives tips and talks about alterations.

5 Stars because easy customizable recipes with a variety of things to try. I did four and I will try more. Thank you to NetGalley, Adams Media and Michele Fagone for an ARC. This was an honest review.

I'm a relative new comer to the instant pot and this book is both a great intro to the gadget but also an inspiring cook book. It gives a really useful overview of the IPs functions in an easy to understand format which makes it very beginner friendly.

Moving onto the recipes, the book is structured into logical sections such as breakfast, soups, chicken etc. During lockdown i've been particularly uninspired around cooking and this book really helped me. There are lots of very inspiring ideas and recipes that are easy to follow and very well written and developed. Unlike many cookbooks, i haven't had a dud recipe from this book. Particular favourites have been the soups, there are some delicious chicken dishes and the vegetable ideas have been very inspired. So far i have cooked at least ten recipes from the book and i have many more bookmarked. T

Thank you to NetGalley for this download. I voluntarily chose to review it and the opinions contained within are my own.

Includes a variety of side dishes, dinner, lunch and breakfast idea. Plus tips are given on how to use your instapot very helpful

I love the idea of easy recipes and just a few ingredients. The recipes are nicely illustrated and great for beginners. However, on a personal note of preference, I really didn't like a lot of the recipe ideas and frankly, a lot of the things suggested such as steamed clams and fish are not worth the trouble to do in an Instant/Multipot. when you can easily do them on the stove faster and without lugging out the heavy pot. Pn the plus side, there are some enticing recipes for vegetarians. and some recipes such as lamb stew really are easier and better in an instant/multipot. There are also a few pages of tips and hints for using this appliance that really can help you understand the process better.

The Instant Pot® craze doesn’t seem to be waning, and even though Instant Pots® save time, The "I Love My Instant Pot®" 5-Ingredient Recipe Book: From Pot Roast, Potatoes, and Gravy to Simple Lemon Cheesecake, 175 Quick and Easy Recipes makes cooking in your Instant Pot® even faster and easier. It is generally a no-brainer to assemble five ingredients for dinner, so this excellent cookbook will help you save even more time, as well as give you great recipe ideas.

This cookbook includes recipes for appetizers, breakfasts, meats, poultry, seafood, salads, soups, and even desserts. Most of the recipes are quick to put together, and most are fairly quick to cook. One of the things Fagone emphasizes is that dry beans don’t have to be soaked overnight, and the recipes using them in the Instant Pot take a bit more time to cook. However, as is usual, the cooking process doesn’t need to be monitored, so busy cooks can go about their business while their dishes are cooking. There are several dishes in the book including dry beans and other things that need long cooking like grits; they come out perfectly in the Instant Pot®.

While the main cooking is done in the Instant Pot® for many of the dishes, the final prep is done in the oven, broiler, or other means, and in some salads, the refrigerator. There are all-purpose recipes that will appeal to everyone, and so far every recipe I’ve tried has turned out well. The only drawback to this cookbook is the sad lack of photographs. While there are a few, and they are nice, there aren’t as many as there should be. In this modern day, photographs are easy to publish, and they should be included in all cookbooks.

All told, this is an excellent Instant Pot® cookbook, and everyone who likes to use their Instant Pot® and also save time will appreciate the recipes. This is a good one.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this advance copy. I recently got an Instant Pot, and learning to use it can be intimidating. I appreciated the first chapter about learning how to use it quite a bit. So many of the recipes sound amazing. I like that some seem like really unique recipes and some are traditional favorite recipes reworked for the Instant Pot.

This cookbook was good. It was not great.
What I liked... Easy preparation of foods with few ingredients, well arranged recipes and easy to find.
What I wanted to see more - uniqueness.
Otherwise great book to own and highly recommended.

De très belles idées recettes !
Des photos appétissantes
Un de ces livres de cuisines que l'on aime avoir et que l'on sait va nous être utile

It can be difficult to find good cookbooks for Instant Pot, but this is a great volume. Not only does it have good recipes, it also provides a lot of great information about how to properly use and care for your Instant Pot. This is a solid choice for someone who's looking to get started with their Instant Pot or if they're just looking for new recipes to use with it.

The "I Love My Instant Pot" 5-Ingredient Recipe Book by Michelle Fagone is a great resource for beginner cooks and Instant Pot novices. The user-friendly instructions and limited, easy-to-find ingredients make cooking from this book a breeze. I tried two recipes from each section, and my family enjoyed them all. I really liked the format and photos too. There is an ingredient box, quality photos of some recipes, simple instructions, and nutritional information. My only suggestions would be to include more photos!

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

There are so many great and simple recipes here. I am really looking forward to trying out more of these recipes in the future.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an advanced readers e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

I'm new to cooking with an instant pot but the book makes me so excited. Even without having tried the exact recipes(which look yum!), I feel like the book fine tuned my instincts for the Instant Pot and opened my eyes up to the versatility of it, which is a win for any specialized cookbook in my opinion.

Would've liked some more one pot recipes, personally- my only real qualm about the book.

Excellent recipes with easy to follow instructions. I am definitely trying some of these next week! I’m new to Instant Pot cooing so the info at the beginning was helpful too.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review

I would not include "The "I Love My Instant Pot 5-Ingredient Recipe Book" in a classroom. However, what a wonderful starting place for people who are first using their Instant Pots and/or learning how to cook. A wide array of recipes with easy to find ingredients makes this simple. The recipes The front section discussing needs for an Instant Pot and explaining how to use it was well done.

I'm hopeful that the the sense of ease this recipe book created will help me bust that sucker out and cook with it!

I'm so grateful to Michelle Fagone, Adams Media, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review.

Nice book with a lot of Instant Pot recipes, each made with a limited number of ingredients. After an intro and a chapter on Instant Pot Cooking, recipes are in chapters on Breakfast, Soups/Stews/Chilis, Beans/Rice/Grains, Appetizers, Side Dishes, Chicken Main Dishes, Beef and Pork Main Dishes, Seafood and Fish Main Dishes, Vegetarian Main Dishes, and Desserts.
The recipes covered a wide variety of ingredients and flavor profiles. Instructions were thorough, and each recipe also included nutritional info. There were some color photos but I would have preferred more. I found the recipes in here to be more interesting - it wasn't just for standard basics. I think the book would be useful both for someone beginning with Instant Pot cooking and for someone who has experience but is looking for new ideas.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I received this from Netgalley.com.

I recently bought an Insta Pot. This book is full of great recipes and ideas, beautiful pictures and easy to follow instructions.

5☆

The "I Love My Instant Pot®" 5-Ingredient Recipe Book is a new addition to the popular Instant Pot series - this one by Michelle Fagone. Due out 9th Feb 2021 from Simon & Schuster on their Adams Media imprint, it's 240 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats.

Electric pressure cookers have changed the face of home cooking, and they're more popular than ever, with more programmable options and different volume capacities and cooking programs. I admit that I love the convenience factor for myself and that you can add ingredients and come back to well cooked, tasty food that isn't overcooked or mushy. Especially with vegetables, overcooking destroys a lot of the nutritive value, so cooking more quickly is a definite benefit. This cookbook has one huge benefit for me, it's convenient. None of the recipes require more than 5 main ingredients (not counting spices and seasonings). At the end of a busy day of work, it's so great to be able to (mostly) pop ingredients into the cooker, program it, and come back to dinner.

The book's logical and appealing layout mean that recipes are easy to find by category. The introductory chapter ~17% of the content) covers some background, how to cook with an electric pressure cooker (it's much MUCH easier and safer than people think), an FAQ on pressure cooking, a little bit about protein and ingredients, and other general info.

The main recipes are grouped by category: breakfast, soups stews & chili, beans rice & grains, appetizers, side dishes, chicken mains, beef & pork mains, seafood & fish mains, vegetarian mains, and desserts. US/metric conversion chart and a cross referenced index are included at the back of the book.

Each recipe includes serving yields, special notes, and prep times. Recipe ingredients are listed bullet point style along with optional ingredients. All measurements are given in American standard measures only. The directions are given step by step, numbered sequentially. The nutritional information is given in a footer under the recipes and includes calories, fat, protein, sodium, carbs, net carbs, sugar, and fiber.

The recipes' ingredients are easily sourced and the resultant dishes are family friendly and appealing to kids and adults. Roughly 20-25% of the recipes include photos. Everything is well done and I heartily recommend the book overall. There are a number of these recipes which have made it into my personal potluck recipe book of dishes to take to group dinners and family gatherings.

Good recipes, full of hearty and satisfying food.

Four and a half stars. I would recommend it for busy cooks who are looking to increase their use of the instant pot in their own daily cooking. The book does rely heavily on pre-made seasoning mixes and ready-made ingredients (premade salsa in a jar for example). All of the recipes can be converted (with some effort) to avoid premade and convenience mixes/seasonings.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

I have been using the recipes in this book for a while now. I have settled on a few recipes especially the breakfast one - my favourite is the egg bites and muffins which I can freeze. I have tried recipes that I would never have thought of

On the positives - the recipes are easy to use and limited ingredients (hence the name)

The negatives - would love to see more pictures - pictures inspire me and give me the confidence to try it out.

Good book and easy to follow, just more pictures please

I was given an advance copy by the publisher in exchange for an honest and fair review which I have done.

If you are like me and have been scared to use your instant pot, this is the cookbook for you. I have had two (yes you read that right two) Instant pots for a few years and I used one once. The great thing about this cookbook is the recipes are not complicated. There aren’t a lot of steps or ingredients. It takes the intimidation out of a pressure cooker. The only is I wish there were more and better pictures. Still this is a great cookbook. I look forward to making a lot of the recipes and finally getting use out of my two instant pots!
