The Instant Kitchen Cookbook: Fast and Easy Family Meals Using Your Instant Pot and Air Fryer

by Coco Morante

Overview

From the bestselling author of The Essential Instant Pot Cookbook Coco Morante—a one-stop cookbook for 100 foolproof recipes for the Instant Pot and/or the Air Fryer Oven. Authorized by Instant Brands.

The Instant Kitchen Cookbook combines two of today’s most popular kitchen appliances: the Instant Pot and the Air Fryer. By using both, you can cut down on time spent watching a pot, reduce cleanup, and have your dinner ready faster than ever. These two appliances make cooking easier, and they’re also much more convenient than cooking on the stove or in a traditional oven. The Instant Pot is great for slow cooked meat, stews, and soups, but is also perfect for making rice, grains, yogurts, and even desserts. The Air Fryer is perfect for roasting crispy vegetables, baking with conduction heat, and of course making healthy versions of your favorite fried foods. With chapters for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and the occasional special treat, the globally inspired recipes will be adaptable to everybody’s tastes, but still easy to prepare. Every recipe will have dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian options, so everyone can enjoy them.  

Recipes include:

• Fried Wontons with Mango Poke
• Coconut Chicken Adobo
• Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Baked Potatoes
• Focaccia with Zucchini and Cherry Tomatoes
• White Chocolate Macadamia Oatmeal Cookies
