I broke down and ordered an 8 qt. Instant Pot. There are many cookbooks out. Can anyone recommend a reasonable not fancy one? Any personal recipes would be welcome.

Google 'instant pot recipes' and you'll find enough recipes to keep your IP busy for months.
Mopar, don't make me come and have a "talk" with you!
Not sure why you would need a cookbook either... I just peruse online recipes and there's a whole bunch of stuff on the Instant Pot facebook page. TBH I use mine mostly for stew and chili
I have the 8qt as well
When I make beef stew in it here's a tip.
Do not cut up the potatoes more than half,, do not quarter them or you'll get mush. And put them in last on top of everything, not in the liquid. Max time under pressure 25 minutes,, and a quick release. otherwise everything gets mushy. When it's done and you remove the lid you can stir and sort of cut the potatoes into smaller pieces at the same time .

OH Jerry, you are so bad and it does sound like at good idea to have Cuffs "talk" with us for sure. Gary
Depends on what you're 'talkin' with!

cookbook was worthless
I got the Insta pot for Christmas..love it!!! I ordered a cookbook off amazon..it was worthless!!! In fact I threw it in the trash. #1. It was not written for the American cook...I don't have scales to measure, I don't know what a "knob" of butter is and I assume a "tin" of something is a canned product. I've found a lot of really good recepies off the internet. My sister-in-law is really into the Insta pot...she's cooked ribs several times and raves about how good they are..also she's cooked dried beans and several other things I can't remember. I cooked a pork roast in mine for New Years Day...after cooking I pulled the fat and bone out and added BBQ sauce and had sliders and slaw at the New Years day gathering.

My Duo80 came today. The included 4th Edition cook book is not what I had hoped.
I have had my IP Ultra 60 6 quart about two weeks now. I have made a pot roast, cheescake, and chicken and dumplings. All came out perfect. The roast and the cheescake i got the recipies off the internet and the chicken n dumplings I altered a Sharp microwave recipie i have been using since 1981.
I'm on the forth use. So far pretty happy. I was thinking that a "kitchen timer" function might be handy. You could set it for cool down/pressure relief time.
Mine counts down, actually it counts the minutes up from when it stops cooking and goes into keep warm.. it looks something like " LOO1, L002, L003 etc..
Cooked a 7.5 pound bone in FROZEN turkey breast tonight in 55 minutes plus natural cool down.

If you like Indian food as much as we do you'll love it even more cooking it in the Indian pot as we call it. Tons of recipes on the internet as previously mentioned. We started with a 6qt and now have an 8qt to boot.
