Our Best Ideas for the Pressure Cooker

Whether you own an Instant Pot (or any other brand of multicooker) or a good, old-fashioned stovetop pressure cooker, you already know that this kitchen appliance is the secret to a cooked-all-day flavor (and texture!) in a fraction of the time. Best of all, you can make everything from meaty mains to shortcut desserts, too. We’ve rounded up all of the recipes you’ll need right here, starting with a classic: chili. A generous amount of spices and a dab of canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce deliver a balanced, smoky kick. Serve the chili with all the usual toppings—a squeeze of lime juice, fresh cilantro, avocado, Cheddar and sour cream—and you’ve got a winning meal in minutes.
