I needed to use up $$ that I had on my Amazon account because my Prime membership was expiring and I had like $72 in gift card credits from Christmas. (Now I'm just going to share an account with my husband so we don't wind up paying for 2 Prime accounts)
Anyway, I ordered myself a nice big 14 inch cast iron skillet and 2 Instant Pot cookbooks that I kept seeing with good reviews: Dinner In An Instant by NY Times food writer Melissa Clark and The Essential Instant Pot Cookbook which was just recommended on the Smitten Kitchen blog. I am hoping to get some good recipes out of these books because I seem to keep making the same things over and over in my Instant Pot.

The 1st or 2nd one? I have the 1st one and think it is okay. I don’t make much from it. Based on that, I’ve skipped the 2nd one.
I’m trying to think what I like from the 1st book off the top of my head. The meatloaves, The sesame turkey meatballs with smashed chick pea salad (I omit the olives bc I hate them), the mushroom bourguignon, and the wild mushroom tart. The grilled cheese was okay and the risotto stuffed poblanos were a lot of work for a big disappointment.

@NJChicaa I... actually don't know. It's Smitten Kitchen Everyday. Let me check the date...
It came out in 2017, so I'm guessing the second. I haven't made anything out of it yet.

@spiderdust oh yeah. I haven't seen that one. I like her blog well enough but I probably only make 1 out of every 10 savory things that she posts, if that. Still, it doesn't matter because it is free. I'm about to get burned on another cookbook though.
