10 Best Instant Pot and PressureCooker Recipes of 2016

Thanks to all my wonderful Readers. Last year was full of yummy recipes and I appreciate all your feedback and support. You all keep asking me, which are the top Pressure Cooker recipes on the blog. I’ve read your reviews, listened to the feedback and crunched the numbers.

Instant Pot is the #1 best selling Pressure Cooker on Amazon.It is nothing like the old Stove Top Pressure Cookers. The Instant Potis safe and easy to use. Instant Pot has safety features built in. You cannot open the Instant Pot, unless all pressure has been released!

10. Chinese Take-Out Beef and Broccoli

Coming in at Number 10, this Authentic Chinese Take-Out Beef and Broccoli is easy on your wallet. Sweet/Black Soy Sauce is an integral part of Asian Cooking, so check it out and please don’t confuse Sweet/Black Soy Sauce with Dark Soy Sauceor Regular Soy Sauce. Sweet/Black Soy Sauceis very thick and sweet, like Molasses. My favorite brand of Sweet/Black Soy Sauce is Healthy Boy.

It is not often available on line, so my second choice, which is easily available is Koon Chun Double Sweet/Black Soy Sauce. Add my Pressure Cooker Perfectly Cooked Pot in Pot Rice recipe and make this Beef and Broccoli a One Pot Meal!
