Plant-based cooking shows and tips for your new Instant Pot

I hope you have received your new Instant Pot, many people took advantage of the smoking deal on the Instant Pot (IP) the other day.  Today many of you have or will receive your new Instant Pot, I received my 2nd one.  I look forward to having both on hand for those days when one is just not enough.

I wanted to share some resources to help you enjoy your IP as soon as possible.  Below are some links and videos I found helpful while learning how to use my IP to its full potential:
