If you have an Instant Pot you know how useful and wonderful it is. You can make so many different things in it, the range of possibilities is amazing. I should know, I’ve made many things from something as easy as Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs to something a bit more complicated like Pressure Cooker Whole Chicken!
