One of my favorite kitchen tools is the Instant Pot. I was late to join the Instant Pot crowd and a little intimidated at first, but once I started using it I wondered how I ever lived without it. If you haven’t yet taken the plunge into stress-free, low-mess, fast meal prep, consider this your nudge: get one today.

The Instant Pot changes how you cook weeknight meals. From frozen chicken to Whole30 chicken taco soup in about 25 minutes, to cooking frozen salmon or shredding pork for tacos, it handles it all. It’s also great for batch meal prep: quickly cook bulk proteins like Instant Pot taco meat, or use it as a slow cooker for doubled recipes. The sauté function lets you soften onions, brown meat, or build flavors before pressure cooking—meaning fewer pans to wash.

Fewer dishes are a win for everyone, and especially helpful while doing a Whole30. Let the Instant Pot help you power through your Whole30 with less hassle and delicious, satisfying meals.
