Its ability to cook dried beans and large pieces of chicken to whole dinners in one pot, can be major time-savers in the kitchen.

Chinese Lemon Chicken

Love Chinese food, but wish it was a tad healthier? This is your recipe. With less than 3 grams of fat but 100% take-out flavor, this dish doesn’t disappoint. This recipe skips the deep-fried coating, but you won’t miss it when you taste the chicken drenched in sweet lemon sauce with just a hint of ginger, garlic, and red pepper. Serve with steamed white rice and chopsticks. Fortune cookie not optional.

White Bean Chicken Chili

White beans are the gentlest and easiest beans to digest, and when made in a pressure cooker, they are even better. Yep, I’m talking about the gassiness that ensues after a meal containing beans. Made ahead in a pressure cooker, these beans are less gassy and easy to have on hand. Once you have your beans, you’re ready to go. Super quick and easy to make, this recipe serves 10, so you’ll have plenty to freeze and serve later.

Pressure Cooker Lentil Tacos

Lentils are a great substitute for meat in meals: they’re meaty and hearty and give vegan meals a punch of flavor and protein. They can be either vegan or vegetarian, whichever you prefer. It’s a traditional dump recipe, you just dump everything and let the pressure cooker perform its magic. Before you know it, you have a tasty filling for tacos, burrito, or taco salad.
