@missiontripgirl12 it can be intimidating but you will love it. Just trial and error but you'll be glad. My husband loves potato salad but hate boiling eggs in one pan cooking potatoes in another pan. Now I put cubed potatoes in basket put eggs on top of potatoes cook high pressure 4 mi . Quick release put eggs in ice water pull basket out let drain for a minute or so. eggs peel like butter then let cool and add all other ingredients. Pinterest receipes
 
5-5-5 method is the absolute easiest way to make boiled eggs so they peel easily!
1 cup water in pot, place eggs on the rack (I do 1 dozen at a time)
*Pressure cook for 5 minutes,
*Let sit for 5 minutes (I set a timer)
*Do a quick release, and *Place in ice water for 5 minutes & peel!
My peels slide right off!

One of our favourites is chicken margherita pasta
INGREDIENTS
12 ounces penne rigate uncooked pasta 1 ½ cup
2 1/4 cups chicken broth (or 2 1/4 cups or water and 2 1/4 tsp of better than bouillon chicken base*)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small bite size pieces
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
3 Tbsp fresh chopped basil or 3 Tbsp of basil from the squeeze tube
1 1/2 cups halved grape tomatoes
3/4 cups grated mozzarella cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
Pour pasta into the bottom of your instant pot. Add in the chicken broth. Try to cover most of the pasta with the chicken broth. Pour in the olive oil. Place chicken pieces on top. Salt and pepper the chicken.
Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to “sealing.” Set the manual button or pressure cook button (depending on your instant pot model) to 3 minutes for al dente pasta and 4 minute for pasta that is a little more soft. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure by moving the valve to venting. Remove the lid.
Turn the pot to the saute setting. Stir in the vinegar, basil, tomatoes and cheese. When cheese is melted turn the pot to the keep warm setting.
Serve the pasta as soon as possible and enjoy!
