Of all the kitchen appliances out there, the Instant Pot is one of the most popular. Since its release in 2010, the do-it-all device has developed an almost cult-like following. In fact, according to 2026 data from Market Research Future, the Instant Pot market value is expected to reach more than $12 billion by 2035. That growth can be attributed to the company's continuous release of innovative designs, like pint-sized Instant Pots from the company's Mini line, launched in August 2025. Fans of the Instant Pot have even created blogs, Instagram accounts, and Facebook groups devoted to the appliance, swapping recipes, tips, and tricks. 

Given the Instant Pot's runaway success, it should come as no surprise that you can find recipes for cooking almost anything, from yogurt to copycat V8 juice to cakes to pork tenderloin. With winter in full swing and chilly temps on the horizon, the Instant Pot is ideal for cooking up dishes like stews, soups, and pot roasts that are sure to help you warm up.
