It really is the "Swiss Army Knife" of kitchen appliances, isn't it! I love mine.

I have the 6 quart, but if you are on Facebook there are two good pages to join. One is Instant Pot Community and the other is Instant Pot Recipes. One is strictly recipes so they don't want you to post your way to hard boil eggs along with 1,000 other people. They both have good links to good recipes and I am sure there are lots of ones for the 3 quart people. Sometimes it's not as easy as cutting a 6 quart recipe in half. Also I've been warned to stay away from Pinterest recipes. They very often aren't complete or accurate and can really mess you up.

This suggestion is rather out of date for you, Debby, but what about putting steel cut oats into the pot, with water, a shot of salt, etc., if desired, before going to bed the night before?

Debby, I would think that could take any 6 quart recipe and just half it. You could make your own recipe book using Pinterest. It has a boat load of recipes that are pulled from the cooking blogs.

I also just got a 3qt. one, kind of like it, time will tell, but I just ordered from Amazon one of the cooking for two books that they have. That in my mind should be 3qt. recipes.

I got two 6 quart pots for Christmas. I have not used my stove once since. Even good for scrambled eggs. Just stir & don’t put the lid on. Also with meat, I cook longer than the recipie so it’s tender. I make my own yogurt which takes 24 hours so it’s good to have the 2 pots. Or meat in 1 pot & potatoes in the other. Then take the meat out & make homemade gravy!

I ended up ordering the cookbook from Amazon. It should be here Wednesday. I'm doing St Louis style ribs in there in a couple hours. I'll try to adjust the time though. The problem with just cutting recipes in half, is the wattage is less as well, so you have to increase the time it takes to cook something. I'll join the two FB groups. Hopefully they have enough for me to use at least until I can play with it to make my own recipes. Joyful, I can set up the Instantpot with all the ingredients and it'll be ready for me when I wake up. I thought about that last night, but ended up forgetting and just went to bed. :) I have about 3 more servings in the fridge. It's easy to reheat in the microwave.

I am using my new 3 quart and like it. I’ve made four things so far: two times for the dog, chili in the slow cooker and green beans. My existing crockpot and my 4 quart pressure cooker are big and clumsy to wash this is so much better. My daughter-in-law got me a cookbook today at Costco. If the recipe seems too big for my pot, I can cut it in half. Actually I think any pressure cooker recipe will work. It’s really fun to have something new and useful.

i agree with you, Debby, it’s weird to be pressure cooking silently...no chuffy noise

hope you enjoy your pot.

Instant Pot Obsession by Janet Zimmerman is available as a Kindle version on Amazon for $1.67. Better to have a hard copy but for the price..... Works on iPad of course.

This is the one I have coming this week. I'll look for those other two as well! Thank you both. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1454931922/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ‘joined’ the IP community on FB but have only just searched on a few recipes I was interested in. One was roasted chicken and I found a really good one right off the bat. So easy and you can crisp it in the oven if desired. I also got lucky and cooked perfect fresh purple hull peas from my garden the first try.

There are also some IP recipes on All Recipes I think and some other major recipe sites. Once Upon a Chef and My Recipes maybe.

Here are some videos for the mini IP https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=3+qt+instant+pot+recipes

What ever you cook in a 6 or 8 qt, you can cook in the 3 qt. Times are the same. Also check out Rootitoot on Facebook. Ruth has some wonderful recipes, including her cheesecakes. And the group members are really nice and helpful.
