Protein Packed Recipes

Dennis Hamming provides five protein-packed recipes to try out with your Instant Pot.

There are lots of different ways to cook meals, and there are many different methods of cooking using different pans and pots for different types of food. Some food will require a slow cooker, others a pressure cooker, and so on. Having all of these pots and pans on the go at the same time can often be tricky, and if you do not have your eye on the ball all the time, you could quickly get into trouble.

Another thing that plays a massive role in what people eat and cook is the preparation time needed to create a meal from scratch. For some foods, you will need at least an hour's preparation time before you even think about switching on your cooker. You might then need a couple more hours of cooking time. If you are working during the day and get home at about 6 pm, the chances are you are not going to want to be standing up in the kitchen cooking for the next three hours.

This is where it is super handy to have an Instant Pot in the kitchen. This unique piece of equipment combines all types of cookers into a single piece. Whatever you want to cook, you can do so with an Instant Pot. There are lots of websites such as Corrie cooks, where you can find a great choice of recipes for your Instant Pot.

What is more, you will only have one pot to clean up after you have eaten, rather than three or more. If that is not something you find appealing, then you either have lots of time on your hands, or you enjoy washing up.

Meals that are high in Protein

We all know the importance of protein, and how the role it plays in our bodies, doing everything from repairing tissues to being an essential building block of many parts of the body including skin, blood, muscle, and bone.
