Everyday Instant Pot®: 115 Delicious, Family Friendly Pressure Cooker Recipes
I have an instant and have bought many of the books out there. Always looking for more things to make and am surprised there are pudding recipes in this one.
Lots of other dishes that are easy to make. No nutritional information but colorful photos.  Like chicken variations and fish recipes also.
VERY light print in the book. Has servings and times: prep and cook. Wish there was  a yogurt recipe as we can't seem to make it the same twice in a row.
A KEEPER!
