What is Pot-in-Pot Cooking?

The pot-in-pot cooking method refers to recipes in which a liquid is added directly to the bottom of the pressure cooking pot and a second pot is placed on a trivet above the liquid. You can use this method to cook foods only in the second pot or you can use this method to cook one food directly in the cooking pot and a second dish in the pot suspended above.

Recipes that use pot-in-pot cooking can be sweet or savory and vary from everything like pastas and separate sauces to things like cheesecakes or anything using a steamer basket. 

New to Pot-in-Pot Cooking? We have a whole post that goes into detail about How to Use the Pot in Pot Method with your Instant Pot or other brand of pressure cooker. We’ve also made a helpful step-by-step YouTube video about pot in pot cooking.

Equipment needed

At the most basic level, pot in pot cooking uses the trivet that comes with your pressure cooker and a oven-safe pan that can fit inside your pressure cooker with room for the steam to come up around it.

The recipes below each use some of the following items:

This easy eggplant parmesan recipe comes from the Instant Pot Miracle Vegetarian Cookbook by Urvashi Pitre. I adapted the recipe slightly by using panko for a crisp, golden crust on this cheesy and melty eggplant parm.

This is a must-try recipe for anyone looking for a fast and fuss-free weeknight dinner loved by kids and adults. It also happens to be vegetarian for meatless Monday!
