★☆☆☆☆
Very dissapointed in the recipes
First off, now that I've tried many of the recipes within this book, I can't help but notice how many of the reviews state they haven't even used the cookbook! One 5 star review is from someone who claims to not own an instant pot! I'm actually a little suspect on the reviews, that some might actually be fake. But now, for the actual review: Let me begin by telling you the recipes I have tried: hard boiled eggs, meatball soup, tapioca pudding, steel cut banana oatmeal. The eggs were fine, but looking online you can actually make anywhere from 1-12 eggs and not 4 like the author states, but they were fine. Everything else has been awful, missing flavor, missing ingredients (the soup has nothing to create for a broth in it, and putting an egg in after the rest is cooked just makes it scramble). The oatmeal didn't cook fully, and the tapioca was a disaster (no eggs in a custard?????). The recipe book itself is laid out in a very haphazard manner, no real flow or pattern at all. It's all lacking in pictures of anything (a not pivotal thing but relatively important). TLDR I got this cookbook thinking I was getting a good beginners guide to an instant pot recipes, but what I think I actually got was someone who took advantage of a hot fad. I would not recommend this book to anyone, and think you should really look elsewhere for a beginners instant pot book. I will be returning this book as soon as possible.
