The post 50+ Pot in Pot Recipes for the Instant Pot appeared first on Pressure Cooking Today™.
]]>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.
