GIVEAWAY: The Instant Pot® Duo Mini 3 Quart and the Instant Pot® Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook

  Meet the new addition to the Instant Pot® Family – the Duo Mini 3 Qt 7-in-1 Multi- Use Programmable Pressure Cooker. She is super adorable and takes far less space on our counters or in our pantry. Perfect for smaller jobs, traveling, and for folks who have a smaller crowd to feed. For kids heading back to college, it is the perfect appliance to keep them eating more home cooked meals and far less Instant Ramen or cafeteria food. Darcie recently wrote an article sharing some tips for taking advantage of this appliance. Instant Pot® is a 7-in-1 Multi-Functional Cooker-Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Saute/Browning, Yogurt Maker, Steamer & Warmer and includes a three ply bottom stainless steel cooking pot, rice measuring cup, stainless steel steam rack with handle, rice paddle, soup spoon, and measuring cup. Instructions, recipes, and cooking time tables in multiple languages are included. This new model’s compact size allows me to keep it in the kitchen where I am more prone to use it daily – the six quart version is perfect for bigger jobs, but for every day cooking this one will be my to-go.  I am excited to try the 9-in-1 model this Fall that adds a program button for eggs, cake and sterilizing too. We will do a promotion featuring it and other Instant Pot® related cookbooks that are being released during that time. Instant Pot® not only saves time and calories (at least for me – less oil and fats needed for great tasting meals) – it also saves money (no more take-out food, or processed food because time is of the essence) and now the three-quart version saves space. No more convulsing knobs, spurting steam and threatening noises. When I first used my pot, it was so quiet – I thought it wasn’t working and rice is effortless and perfect every time. Instant Pot® has revolutionized the pressure cooking world.  The kind folks at Instant Pot® want you to try their new baby (more on that below in our giveaway) and Race Point Publishing would like you to win a copy of the Instant Pot® Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook (An Authorized Instant Pot® Cookbook): Quick & Easy Recipes for Everyday Eating by Sara Quessenberry and Kate Merker. This cookbook delivers 79 tempting recipes to make your Instant Pot® your go-to for weeknight menu planning. Spinach and Herb Lasagna; Balsamic Beef Short Ribs; Pulled Pork Sandwiches; Vegetable Green Thai Curry; Spice-Rubbed Cauliflower Steaks; Bone Broth with Fresh Ginger; Crème Brûlée; and Double Chocolate Cheesecake are the type of recipes included in this title.  From healthy breakfasts and sides to scrumptious mains and decadent desserts, the low-maintenance recipes in Quick & Easy Recipes for Everyday Eating will help you get a meal on the table in a fraction of the time of conventional cooking methods. With easy-to-follow instructions and full-color photos throughout, discover all that your Instant Pot® can achieve with this go-to pressure cooking cookbook.

    I have a child with Celiac and this mini can help me prepare separate quick, healthy meals just for her diet.

  • lapetitebaker  on  August 11, 2017

    I'd love to try the Mediterranean stuffed tomatoes.

  • lapetitebaker  on  August 11, 2017

    An Instant Pot would help your menu planning by making it easier to prep rice. I can't convince myself to buy a standalone rice cooker so I've been cooking it on the stovetop which isn't difficult but certainly requires more attention than a machine.

  • Kristjudy  on  August 11, 2017

    Smokey glazed chicken wings

  • lgroom  on  August 11, 2017

    Eggplant caponata sounds good.

  • Brittles526  on  August 11, 2017

    I would make the Beef Ragu.

  • Signe  on  August 11, 2017

    I'm going to make the eggplant caponata!

    Braised lamb souvlaki for me!

  • Mariarosa  on  August 11, 2017

    I live in a small NYC apartment and it would be so wonderful to have a pressure cooker that doesn't take up a lot of room!

  • theheritagecook  on  August 11, 2017

    Most definitely the Apple cider and Thyme-Braised Brisket. The ability to make a moist and tender brisket for a weeknight meal is amazing! Thank for running this giveaway!

  • eliza  on  August 11, 2017

    I think I would try the beef ragu.

  • theheritagecook  on  August 11, 2017

    My husband has to eat quickly cooked foods, so this Instant Pot would give me the ability to get the flavors of long, slow cooking without developing histamines! It would be a true blessing.

  • eliza  on  August 11, 2017

    Would help with speedy preparation of meals.

  • KarenS22  on  August 11, 2017

    I would try the hummus with olives and cucumbers

  • KarenS22  on  August 11, 2017

    My full-size Instant Pot makes great rice and I think the small size would be handy for cooking a smaller batch. Thanks for a chance to win one 🙂

  • smartie101  on  August 11, 2017

    The Brisket for sure!

  • akrupnick  on  August 11, 2017

    I'd love to send this to college with my bacon jam loving daughter, who would enjoy blue cheese bacon jam crostini (and everything else I saw in the index)

  • Maaseelulu  on  August 11, 2017

    Caramelized onion dip.

    apple-cider and thyme-braised brisket for me!!!!

    I would try the Pumpkin spice cake

    I would love to have such a versatile appliance in my kitchen to replace rice cooker, slow cooker, pressure cooker.

  • LaurieBT  on  August 12, 2017

    I'd like to make the Vegetable Thai Green Curry!

  • LaurieBT  on  August 12, 2017

    Double chocolate cheesecake

  • AmyS  on  August 12, 2017

    Coconut rice!

  • AmyS  on  August 12, 2017

    The 3 qt Instant Pot would help my meal planning by providing a way to quickly reheat frozen individual portions of meals that I have made ahead!

  • tangaloor  on  August 12, 2017

    I'm always curious to try the unlikely looking ones like cheesecake. In a pressure cooker? But if I'm honest it'll probably be the braised brisket.

  • tangaloor  on  August 12, 2017

    An instant pot would let me have dinner ready and waiting when I get home!

  • mpdeb98  on  August 12, 2017

    Pineapple and chipotle pork tacos

    Sign me up for the coconut rice, as well. Seems amazing what one can do with one of these machines, apparently!

  • sgump  on  August 12, 2017

    And how would the Instant Pot help me with meal prep? Well, it would help me "think outside the rice cooker"–although, admittedly, the first recipe I'd try with it would be the coconut rice! (I guess I've spent too much time in Asia or something.)

  • robynnemellor  on  August 12, 2017

    Pineapple and chipotle pork tacos

  • Siegal  on  August 12, 2017

  • caroleeee  on  August 12, 2017

    Man, so much sounds good and it was great to see so many vegetarian recipes. I would probably make the butterscotch pecan french toast. Sounds delish.

  • rionafaith  on  August 12, 2017

    The marinated beet salad with avocado, grapefruit, and blue cheese sounds unique and amazing!

  • genie28  on  August 13, 2017

    The multigrain cereal or the apple cider & thyme brisket, depending on the time of day!

  • eveaway  on  August 13, 2017

    Overnight 5-grain cereal with raspberries and coconut.

    Definitely Korean pulled pork

    Vegetable pot stickers with sesame-ginger dipping sauce sounds fantastic. I have always wanted an Instant Pot. Thanks so much for the chance.

  • Spotgr  on  August 13, 2017

    Quick and tasty breakfasts are always a plus. I'd give the Asparagus Parmesan Frittata a try.

  • Spotgr  on  August 13, 2017

    Many times I'm tired after work and only have energy enough to throw together a main dish. This little pot would help my menu planning by being able to efficiently take care of a side dish while I concentrated on the main dish.

  • Spotgr  on  August 13, 2017

    Asparagus Parmesan Frittata

  • rivergait  on  August 13, 2017

    Cooking for 5 (4 Corgis who eat "real" food, and me), I'd be interested in making hummus sweet-and-sour meatballs for cocktail hour which comes immediately after I feed the dogs. The smaller-size IP would be perfect for that.

    I'd love to try many of these recipes, but I would probably try Broccoli and Parmesan Farrotto

    I have read that you can do prep for a mea, freeze it and then come home and drop it in the instant pot and have it ready is less than half an hour – that would be helpful.

  • Dmartin997  on  August 13, 2017

    I would make my own stock and broths more often.

  • scbell  on  August 14, 2017

    The Warm Chocolate Fudge Cakes… because, CHOCOLATE! 😀

    The 3-qt Instant Pot would help with food prep by allowing a side dish to be prepared in it, while icing a main dish in a larger Instant Pot, so that everything could be ready at the same time.

  • josiesmythe  on  August 15, 2017

    The first thing I'd try is the Creamy Rice with Poblanos and Corn

  • heychickie  on  August 15, 2017

    Mexican black beans!

  • heychickie  on  August 15, 2017

    Having a 3 qt instant pot would help me more easily prepare smaller sides in less space than a larger 5, 6 or 8 qt requires, while the main dish cooks elsewhere, or for days I'm cooking just for me.

  • elinwoods  on  August 15, 2017

    The instant pot will make my hectic schedule just slightly easier. I work weird hours, am trying to eat healthier, but I feel like I don't have the time to make myself something better because I'm busy.

  • lgroom  on  August 15, 2017

    I think the smaller size is something I would keep out on the counter and would use it more than a big size.

    I would make caponata

    The ingredient list for the Pineapple and chipotle pork tacos sounds delicious. I think I would start there.

    I think the IP would help me with planning weeknight meals.

  • andreainblue  on  August 18, 2017

    Oh my goodness… so many tasty sounding recipes! I think I'd go for the caramelized onion dip, though. That sounds really appealing right now!

  • andreainblue  on  August 18, 2017

    I love that this is a smaller Instant Pot! I have a larger one and use it often… but this would be wonderful to have for the times when I'm just cooking for myself and one other person.

    Just the right size for cooking for two.

    I think the mini would be really helpful when I go to potluck gatherings. I would be able to finish cooking and serve a dish right from the unit.

  • lpedro  on  August 24, 2017

    The hummus sounds intriguing and fabulous.

  • skenoyer  on  August 24, 2017

    Spaghetti squash with garlic and sage brown butter, winter is coming!

  • AnneOther  on  August 24, 2017

    Spaghetti squash with garlic and sage brown butter sounds good to me. Sounds really good, in fact.

  • Radiantpurple  on  August 24, 2017

    Honestly, the deviled eggs…. I can't believe I could hard "boil" eggs in the instapot!! I've been ogling that baby size for a month now 🙂

  • Radiantpurple  on  August 24, 2017

    How would an instapot help me? Let me count the ways…. Two working parents outside the home, one dog, three kids, busy social life…. cutting dinner prep and eating healthier is what we all need in our lives

  • Sofie168  on  August 24, 2017

    Any of the meat recipes

  • Sofie168  on  August 24, 2017

    This will help save time for meal prep.

  • ChazBrenchley  on  August 25, 2017

    Sage and rosemary pork loin, thanks.

    Deviled eggs- I want to try hard cooking the eggs in the Instant Pot!

  • carylee  on  August 25, 2017

    What a wonderful b.d. present this would be for me (9/15). I would like to make the pomegranate jelly to use my extra pomegranate fruit before it goes bad in the freezer.

  • sequoia55  on  August 25, 2017

    Pumpkin Spice Cake

  • SujataNaik  on  August 25, 2017

    Minestrone soup

  • SujataNaik  on  August 25, 2017

    I would also like to use it to cook pilafs to go with other Indian foods (and replace my broken pressure cooker).

    Mexican black beans

  • amandacooks  on  August 26, 2017

    The Instant Pot would make it easier to plan meals based on dried beans and grains since they would not take as long to cook. I don't always have a full afternoon to babysit a pot of beans!

  • outsidereader  on  August 26, 2017

    I would love to try the Quinoa breakfast bowl with broiled tomatoes.

  • outsidereader  on  August 26, 2017

    The Instant Pot would allow me to cook healthier meals more quickly.

  • bookreadera  on  August 27, 2017

    Coconut rice

  • naty  on  August 27, 2017

    Gello, i would make the banana bread. Always have extra bananas at home that overripe.
    Not much of a baker so i think i would not mess this up withe the instapor.

  • naty  on  August 27, 2017

    For meal planning this would be awesome! Could do chli, and chicken for a couple of days and fast!!

    Apple cider and thyme-braised brisket. It's almost apple season!

  • elizabrarian  on  August 29, 2017

    I've been wanting to try an Instant Pot. I'm a working mom so quick meals are a must. Finding a handful of favorite Instant Pot recipes to turn to again and again on busy weeknights would make family meals easier and healthier.

  • InAHealthyKitchen  on  August 30, 2017

    I want to make the bone broth with ginger in an instant pot so it won't take all day!

  • thewife1992  on  August 31, 2017

    oo, vegetable green thai curry…i've never had anything like this, it would be so, so cool to explore what it could do!

  • Jennifer7  on  September 5, 2017

    Since I never used a pressure cooker I would try the banana bread first. Next on to the vegetable pot stickers.

  • Jennifer7  on  September 5, 2017

    Pressure cookers always frightened me but I see that they now are so safe and convenient that using one in every day meal prep can be second nature. I think a small one to start with is a great idea and I would use it for bread and side dishes until I mastered it then move on to main dishes. It sure would be helpful after a long work day.

  • Larkspur  on  September 6, 2017

    Ropa Vieja!

  • JenJoLa  on  September 6, 2017

    The Enchiladas rancheras sound delicious.

  • JenJoLa  on  September 6, 2017

    I'd use it to speed up dinner preparation. I've always been so nervous about traditional pressure cookers I've been keeping an eye on the instant pot because it seems so much more user-friendly.

  • tarae1204  on  September 7, 2017

    Pumpkin spice cake

  • tarae1204  on  September 7, 2017

    I use my rice cooker even more than my slow cooker, and I regret giving away a yogurt maker years ago. Would be wonderful to be able to perform all those tasks with one machine.

  • aminning  on  September 8, 2017

    Italian style seafood stew

  • PennyG  on  September 9, 2017

    Quinoa Breakfast Bowl with Broiled Tomatoes sounds great!

  • PennyG  on  September 9, 2017

    I think the Instant Pot is a great hands-off tool and this is how I'd use the mini version to help with meal prep.

  • smartie101  on  September 11, 2017

    Meal prep would be so much faster. So many ways to cook just about everything.

  • AnneOther  on  September 11, 2017

    This little Instant Pot would be a big help with my meal prep, since I could easily cook vegetables, beans, grains, or potatoes in very little time and with consistently good results, freeing me up to concentrate on other parts of the meal.

    Banana bread or Deviled Eggs

  • orchidlady01  on  September 13, 2017

    Hard boiled eggs peel like a dream using the pressure cooker. This will speed up cooking times for meals and for things like making bone broth.

  • Jennai  on  September 14, 2017

    I would try the Warm chocolate fudge cakes first

  • kitchenclimbers  on  September 14, 2017

    Roasted red pepper and feta dip

  • dustykatt  on  September 17, 2017

    The most important thing this would do for my food prep is to clear enough space on the counter to do food prep. All these appliances in one means I can get rid of a whole bunch of other ones.

  • sgrm9514  on  September 17, 2017

    Pressure cookers used to frighten me to. But now that I've used them a couple times (still respect it) I feel a little better about using them. I would like to make roast and potatoes

  • Faynilla  on  September 18, 2017

    This would be perfect to do more along side my kitchen appliances. I can use this to make all the desserts!!!!!

  • Davryanna  on  September 18, 2017

    Pineapple and Chipotle Pork Tacos, or Green Thai Curry, or Creamy rice with poblano and corn, or pulled pork. They all sound so good. I really want an instant pot.
