5-INGREDIENT INSTANT POT® COOKBOOK:  cover

Synopsis:

The Instant Pot® is unquestionably the most popular and bestselling kitchen appliance of the last year, with many models performing the functions of a pressure cooker, a slow cooker, a rice cooker, a steamer, a sauté pan, a yogurt maker and a warmer.
All of its 150 recipes, created especially for use with an Instant Pot®, contain a minimum of ingredients and require little effort.
There are recipes for every occasion and season, and for novices and well-seasoned home cooks alike. The recipes include favorites like Ham and Cheddar Egg Muffins, Hearty Black Bean Soup, Pepperoncini Beef Roast, Chicken Caesar Pita Pockets, Braised Herb Salmon with Asparagus, Buttery Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and Chocolate Peanut Clusters.

Review:

The insta-pot has over 5 million units sold! They've fast become this generations crock-pot! I've shared insta-pot books with you before, so you know just HOW versatile they can be! This book takes that thought and really runs with it, bringing you really unique dishes that do NOT require a lot of preparing, and with ingredients that come generally from your pantry and fridge-no hunting down odd ingredients called for! You get a varied collection of recipes, that really teach you HOW to get the most from your insta-pot, so this book is a must if you are new to using an insta-pot (ie just got yours on Black Friday!). We've found recipes for the holidays and everyday meals here that we can't wait to try! We highly recommend this book for insta-pot users of all ages and cooking abilities!

Streusel Coffee Cake

Oh yeah, baby, now we’re talking! Not only is pressure-cooked coffee cake quick and easy, but you no longer have to heat up your oven, when you're busy and want to keep the kitchen clean!
Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

-  7-inch non-stick fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt or kugelhopf), greased

-  Steam rack
- 21⁄3 cups all-purpose baking mix (such as Bisquick), divided 
- 1⁄2 cup packed brown sugar, divided 
- 1⁄2 tsp ground cinnamon 
-4 tbsp cold butter, divided 
- 1 large egg 
-12⁄3 cup water 

Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine 1⁄3 cup baking mix, 1⁄3 cup brown sugar and cinnamon.
Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in 2 tbsp butter until crumbly. 
2. Sprinkle half the streusel mixture in bottom of prepared pan.
3 In a medium bowl, combine the remaining baking mix and brown sugar. Cut in the remaining butter until crumbly.
4. In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk egg and water. Add to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5. Pour half the batter over streusel mixture in pan. Sprinkle with the remaining streusel. Top with the remaining batter.
6. Add 1 cup hot water to the inner pot and place the steam rack in the pot. Place the pan on the rack.
7. Close and lock the lid and turn the steam release handle to Sealing. Set your Instant Pot to pressure cook on High for 25 minutes.
8. When the cooking time is done, press Cancel and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes, then turn the steam release handle to Venting. When the float valve drops down, remove the lid- a tester inserted in the center should come out clean. (If more cooking time is needed, continue pressure cooking on High for 3 minutes, then quickly release the pressure.)
9. Using the handles of the rack, carefully remove the rack and pan. 
10. Let cake cool to room temperature in pan on rack, then invert onto a plate and cut into
slices.
