Summer Instant Pot Recipes to Help You Beat the Heat and Soak Up the Sunshine!

summer instant pot recipes

The Instant Pot is my go-to in the summer for two reasons. First, it doesn’t add much heat my kitchen – like a stovetop or oven meal would.

Second, we are often spending the afternoon at the pool…mainly for the boys to burn off energy and me to take a breather. The water is super refreshing to me, even while tracking 4 busy boys! While I’ll treat us all to a dinner at the pool grill once or twice throughout the summer, it’s obviously much cheaper for us to eat at home. So just like during the busy weeknights during the school year, I use the Instant Pot to make dinner easier after we get back from the pool. And if it’s not the Instant Pot (or slow cooker!), then it’s a simple sandwich and salad kind of dinner!
