20 Vegan Instant Pot Recipes

Instant Pot is a 1 pot cooking appliance that can cook by pressure cooking, slow cooking, warming (yogurt or other fermentation), sauteing, steaming. It is programmable and has been getting popular in the last few years. I use Instant Pot whenever I need to pressure cook. I have been pressure cooking for many years as Indian food uses Pressure cooking for cooking the variety of beans and lentils used in the cuisine. Stive top cookers have been used in India for decades. Some of the old posts on the blog use a pressure cooker and are getting updated IP instructions over the next few months.

Instant Pot works out well to make 1 pot meals, set it and forget it and the meal is ready when needed, and works well for summer as it doesnt heat up the entire kitchen.

Here are a few of the popular IP recipes from the blog. Almost all also have Saucepan cooking options. For more Recipes see the Instant Pot Category. What are your favorite Instant Pot meals for Summer?
