Do not buy
This cookbook was made by an idiot, and I’m an idiot for buying it. Look at the display recipe. The notion that a 3 pound roast plus a bunch of other crap will fit in an Instant Pot Mini is laughable! For creamy Mac and cheese, they suggest a person put in 2 American cups whole milk, 1 American cup heavy cream, 10 oz cheese sauce, and 3 cups of cheddar cheese, all to service EIGHT OUNCES of elbow macaroni. I’m laughing as I type imagining the disaster you’d have in your kitchen if you put all this in your Mini and turned it on. I have personally overflowed my Mini with just 2 international cups of milk and a little heavy cream and butter with just a pound of potatoes, so I can only IMAGINE what would happen with 3 American cups of milk and cream + 3 American cups of cheese in an IP. It would probably explode! And at the end, even if it works out, good god, you’ve got 6-ish cups of liquid for EIGHT OUNCES of pasta noodle! Like a chunky hot cheese smoothie! Revolting! The author regularly suggests a person cram in 3 pound roasts with cans of veggies and whole onions, wildly blowing past the 2/3 or 1/2 full limit with her nonsense. Given a few of the recipes I read, I don’t feel safe making ANYTHING in this book, since the ones I’m familiar with from dividing standard IP recipes have comedy liquid amounts and the time I crammed in a 2 pound roast on a slow cook function had meat within an inch of the lid so idk where a person is fitting that additional pound under the 2/3 line... Seriously y’all, I’ve sprayed milk all over the kitchen putting in barely 2 American cups of milk products in an IP with a pound or a little heavier of potatoes, and these recipes regularly approach or go way past that line. Stay safe using this book!
