2012 Winter Recipe Contest Winners
There were 43 submissions with 50+ recipes for the contest. Wow! The user base of electric pressure cooker is surprising strong and enthusiastic!
Thank you all for participating. It’s joyful interacting with you.
Meanwhile, it’s very difficult to choose the winners. We had debats and come up with the list based on our criteria set out on the contest terms, i.e. details of description, practicality and creativity. A little confession to make. Our staff are apparently leaning toward recipes with pictures attached. Pictures are one key part of the description and they make the recipe enticing.
- Kellie F.: “NOT Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon“. The recipe reflects the value and advantages of electric pressure cookers. A complicated dish with complex tastes can be made within 45 minutes.
- Pamela F.: “Lemon Cheesecake” and “Hungarian Lazy Woman Soup and Dumplings“. Excellent detailed description. Can be followed by every “layman”.
- Maomao Mom: “Sous Vide Duck Breast“. This is the most creative use of Instant Pot. It brings us to a modernist’s kitchen. Besides this one, her other recipes are very creative and full of imaginations. Have a look at her other recipes http://maomaomom.com/recipes-in-english/
Congratulations to the winners of the 2012 Winter contest. We’ll contact you in email for shipping detail. To all participants, by continuing sharing, we will all end up as winners.
At Instant Pot Company, we also learned something beyond recipes.

Indeed, we’d love to make InstantPot.com a great cookbook useful to all users. We shall continue encouraging sharing of recipes. The contest must go on. Every season, we’ll award 2 free Instant Pot to two authors of recipes submitted during the period. Please keep your recipes coming.



Fantastic. I’ll have some to submit in the next round.
