Best pressure cooker recipes books according to redditors

Again, no. A slow cooker is a way of cooking stuff long and low. A pressure cooker is a way of increasing the boiling point of water so that things cook hotter. But you can't just take recipe X made for "normal" cooking and put it in a pressure cooker to make it cook faster or put it in a slow cooker to make it cook slower. Well, you can, but it will not turn out good in either case.

Get America's Test Kitchen's books Slow Cooker Revolution (the second edition is lighter on prep work) and Pressure Cooker Perfection and see for yourself how the two aren't simply interchangeable by changing the amount of time you cook something.

Sidenote, this is the Americas Test Kitchen book. It may be worth getting even before you get a pressure cooker, as they spend a substantial amount of time discussing the pros/cons of various types and models.

I've tried about a third of the recipes in the book and so far they have all been perfect. (Not all to my liking, but all perfectly executed.) The ATK people know their shit.

I’ve had good luck with this one!

I highly recommend the Instant Loss Cookbook
Our family has loved every recipe we’ve tried so far from the cookbook and the website.

Perhaps not what you’re after but my girlfriend and I have been making dishes from this book 80% of our meals for over a year. Can’t recommend it enough!

The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook for Your Instant Pot: 80 Easy and Delicious Plant-Based Recipes That You Can Make in Half the Time

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1624143385/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OVrRCbKQPJPKK

I use mine frequently. Broccoli goes in for zero minutes and comes out perfectly, I do egg dishes using a round Pyrex or Anchor bowl, big batch of chicken goes in for 10-12 depending on size, love it. I got the following book from my library and ended up buying it online. It's good for basics and some of the recipes they only use the Pot for like, sauteing or browning, but it's given us a good starting point. See if your local library has it.

We have this one: Great Food Fast (Best of the Best Presents) Bob Warden's Ultimate Pressure Cooker Recipes https://www.amazon.com/dp/1934193798

We've only made like 2 recipes from it so far, but I like that it has a lot of pictures and what we've made has been good.

I just got the Hip Pressure Cooking, I really like it. Everything from Coq au Vin to how to roast garlic heads for smearing.

Vegan Under Pressure. It's not specifically for the IP, but I have the Pressure King Pro (the UK market leader) and everything I've made in my PKP from Vegan Under Pressure has been superb.

Kathy Hester's book is also pretty good and is specifically for the Instant Pot.

The Weeknight Chili from this book is great and it only takes 10 minutes under pressure, plus a little prep time.

I picked up this cook book for the PC last year. Its very handy:
https://www.amazon.com/Pressure-Cooker-Perfection-Americas-Kitchen-ebook/dp/B00BJ6SMW2?ie=UTF8&btkr=1&ref_=dp-kindle-redirect

Also, look at the sidebar for links to PC cooking sites. Plenty of recipes there.

One of the main points of using a pressure cooker is that it makes the food tastier and infuses the food with the spices that were added. It locks in the flavor. Try the following:

1. use chicken stock, beef stock, or vegetable stock instead of plain water.
   
2. The meat is usually not submerged. The liquid never really evaporates out of the pot so there is no need to do so.
   
3. saute the meat in the spices before cooking. This will add flavor.
   
4. Try the following recipe books and resources. They will give you good techniques for cooking different types of meat. This or that or this site. None of them have failed me.

If you are looking for a cookbook I recommend the America's Test Kitchen Healthy Slow Cooker Revolution I've made a bunch out of here and posted most of them that are really good.

I also haveAmerican Heart Association Healthy Slow Cooker Cookbook: 200 Low-Fuss, Good-for-You Recipes and made a good Jerk Pork Loin with Mango Salsa from here. I like the cookbooks because they give you the nutritional information.

Also Slow Cooker Tortilla Soup is a good one

It's mostly from this awesome book :-)

• About 14 oz of hot Italian sausage, casings removed and crumbled
  
• 1 or 2 green bell peppers, chopped
  
• 1 giant sweet yellow onion, chopped
  
• 1 pound uncooked ziti pasta
  
• 25 oz tomato sauce. I actually used different and more - almost 2 whole 24 oz jars of trader Joe's red wine marinara :+)
  
• 3 1/2 cups water. I used chicken stock instead
  
• also just chopped rosemary, garlic, red pepper, chili powder, dry basil, and/or honey to enhance things
  
  
  
  

1. Sautee sausage, pepper, and onion with some olive oil, a bit o rosemary, and lots of chopped garlic. Drain.
   
2. Stir in tomato sauce, stock/water, pasta, and some honey, basil, and/or cayenne and chili powder (just a tad)
   
3. Cook at high pressure for about 5 mins. Rapid release.
   
4. Simmer, open, until desired consistency
   
5. let it cool!!

I've made a number of Kathy Hester's recipes. She has a ton of them available for free on her web site, Healthy Slow Cooking. Don't let the name fool you, she has all sorts of recipes, not just for slow cookers (the last one I made was this soup). In fact, she just wrote a new book about vegan air frying.

If YouTube isn't your thing, check out her books (I found a number at my library):

• OATrageous Oatmeals
  
• Vegan Slow Cooking for Two or Just for You
  
• The Easy Vegan Cookbook
  
• The Vegan Slowcooker
  
• The Great Vegan Bean Book
  
• Vegan Cooking in your Air Fryer
  
• The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook for your Instant Pot

There is also a Vegan InstantPot Cookbook.

Simply googling Vegan InstantPot there is an abundance of recipes to try. Happy to help. :)

Vegan Pressure Cooking - JL fields. My favorite recipe thus far is the Squash, Kale, Lentil Chili. Best of all you can see some recipes in the sample (so you try before you buy if ya like).

You’re right. If I cared enough to dig through a pile of cookbooks at the behest of a stranger, it would be pretty easy to point out.
Edit: For example.

I made Tortellini and Meatball Soup from Great Foods Fast, with spinach in place of kale (I'm not partial to kale). Old hat to most of you on this sub, I'm quite sure. But I am not much of a cook in the normal way of things, and it was absolutely delightful to make something so flavorful and fresh, that came out right on the first try! I'm looking forward to expanding my repertoire.

A pressure cooker recipe I got from this book. I found the same recipe online sans attribution here.

There's an America's Test Kitchen cookbook for pressure cookers that I love. My favorite healthy recipe from there is probably the rustic braised chicken.

This is my go-to. Lots of recipes, easy to follow instructions, and it's America's Test Kitchen so you know they'll work!

Pressure cooking. Hip Pressure Cooking is a great book with a lot of good information and wonderful recipes

I dunno, Pressure Cooker Perfection seems to have missed the mark based on the most helpful reviews. I also noticed that in my copy of ATK's Cooking School Cookbok, Pressure Cooker Perfection is not listed with all their other books. I am doubtful that this is really the case, but it smells like they're disowning it.
