Can you cook frozen meat in a pressure cooker?
Yes you can!! That has been a game changer for us. Instant Pot frozen ground beef was one of the most searched posts this year as far as cooking frozen meat in your pressure cooker because it’s so fast. I wrote an entire post about how to cook frozen meat in your Instant Pot because it was so popular.
Especially when it comes to a large piece of meat, this works great and it doesn’t require really any more time than it were defrosted! We show you How to Cook Frozen Roast in Instant Pot where you can use a chuck roast or other cut to make.
Can you cook dessert in an Instant Pot?
No surprise that the first pressure cooker recipes I ever made are the top 5! It’s nice that there is a variety. From snacks to meals and 2 Instant Pot dessert recipes too, you could enjoy these for a good 2 weeks and not get tired of them.
More specifically our Instant Pot rice pudding has been by far our favorite sweet creation. Made homemade is so much better than store bought with long grain rice with a creamy texture.
What are the most popular Instant Pot recipes?
Our roundup of Instant Pot recipes (tab at the top) has over 100 pressure cooker recipes I’ve created myself, this post in itself would keep you busy with something new for months!
- Instant Pot spaghetti with jar sauce is a recipe we still use once a week and is great to have on hand on really busy nights!
- Our easy 5 ingredient Instant Pot chili is a dump and go meal that has TONS of flavor and only 5 basic ingredients!
- This fun Instant Pot popcorn was our very first easy Instant Pot recipe we ever did and a fun experiment to do with your kids.
- Hearty Instant Pot potato corn chowder is a fantastic comfort food that you’ll want to make over and over again.
What is your all time favorite Instant Pot recipe?
I mean it is hard to narrow it down to just a few but I asked my kids and these were on their list too + the list above. What we make most often? Chili, hands down.
- I am forever forgetting to defrost what I need to make dinner. But cooking from frozen is possible with our Instant Pot ground beef recipes in no time.
- Our cheesy Instant Pot taco casserole is seriously amazing
- Instant Pot lasagna soup was one of our first creations in the IP but still a favorite and a fun way to eat “lasagna”.
If you are looking for Ninja Foodi recipes we have those too, but yes they’re interchangeable. You can use anything listed as pressure cooker with the lid that is NOT attached and the pressure cook button. Anything listed as air fryer can be made with the lid that is attached and the air crisp button.

It took so long to get past “my cute instant pot” and “buy this accessory “ that I gave up looking for recipes. The recipes may be amazing I’m just not patient enough to wade through all the other stuff to find out.
