One of my favorite things about my job is getting to help people feel more comfortable and confident in the kitchen. I hear from people all the time who are so excited to have made their first loaf of bread, or who have finally taken their Instant Pot out of the box after watching a cooking video I shared.

Now that the holidays are over, there are new Instant Pots needing to be put to use everywhere! Today I’m so pumped to share the first video in an Instant Pot for Beginners series I’m doing on my YouTube channel.

This first video is the longest at thirty minutes, but I wanted to share enough to help new users feel equipped and ready to take the plunge and make their first recipe. The subsequent videos will be shorter and tackle one specific topic at a time. You can find them all in the Instant Pot for Beginners playlist.

To help kick-off this series, I’ve also put together a short list of EASY Instant Pot recipes here on the blog for your reference. Each of these recipes is simple, but very rewarding. They are all favorites of many of my readers!
