About the Instant Pot...
It does take a little getting used to cooking with the Instant Pot, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be a pro in no time and using it to make many of your meals (like me!).
This magical pressure cooking machine can do so many things, including cooking all of the best stews, soups, side dishes, rice, and even desserts in record time.
If you do buy this for someone, you may also want to get them a cookbook specifically written for cooking in the Instant Pot since there is a tiny learning curve to working with this machine. Find a list of the best ones here.
Note that there are several different models of the Instant Pot, I own the the Duo 6-quart 9-in-1 (you can see it in this Amazon link, and that's it in the picture above).
What's the Best Instant Pot for Vegans?
There's no answer to this question, which one you buy will depend on how many you're cooking for and how many features you want the pot to have.
The one shown above is what I own and it's perfect for my family. It's large enough to make meals plus leftovers for lunch the next day and has many features that I haven't even explored yet (but will!).
Where to Find Vegan Instant Pot Recipes
One of the first things I did after buying my Instant Pot was order a recipe book to go along with it.
There are many great vegan Instant Pot recipe books out there, but to make it easy for you, I've put together my favourites here.
I also searched online for meatless Instant Pot recipes to try and I asked a few fellow food blogger friends for the best vegan Instant Pot recipes they would suggest to a newbie, and these are the recipes they recommended.
All of the recipes below are tried-and-true recipes, and of course, they're all delicious! They're also all vegan (so suitable for those who are vegetarian), and naturally gluten-free.
Before you make any of the following recipes, make it easy on yourself...be sure to carefully read all of the recipe instructions before making anything and to follow those instructions exactly as they're written.
