Best cookbook to learn pressure cooking
I'm an old cook but was new to pressure cookers/instant pots & fortunately stumbled on Urvashi Pitre's book in 2019 after buying our first instant pot. Since then I've bought it for our adult children when they've gotten their first pressure cookers: it's that good a cookbook & teaching tool.The biggest advantage to Dr. Pitre's cookbooks is that she knows what the IP technology does & how it affects food during the cooking process. Yes, her recipes are tasty & varied but they are also recipes that work in the steamy environment of a pressure cooker. That's SO important!Because pressure cookers use steam to cook quickly there are recipes that don't translate well to them, & foods cook with a lot less liquid that we're used to so you have to adjust both liquid levels & often the spicing levels as well to get a good outcome. Thus the best rice to use is Basmati because of how it cooks in steam, & you only need about 1/4 cup of liquid to cook 1 cup of rice. Too much more liquid & you'll get rice mush.This cookbook is a gem: you can cook the recipes as written & the recipes, including spice mix recipes, are easily adjusted to your own taste. After cooking a few recipes & getting a feel for instant pots I had no problem creating IP recipes for some of our family favorites & that's entirely due to Dr. Pitre's helpful, cheerful and supportive style of recipe writing.HIGHLY recommend!

great book
This is a great Instant Pot cookbook to have on hand. The recipes are well written and there is a great variety of things to try. I make the hummus recipe at least once a week - I will never go back to store bought hummus or using canned chick peas!

EASY, well laid out recipes for amazing food. Buy the book. Her blog is a dizzying nightmare of spam and computer resource wasters.
