I’ve been cooking with my
Instant Pot (Affiliate link) about three weeks now and I haven’t used my stove top or oven for making main entreés. I’ve used them to make sauce for
cheesecake and brown
salmon but that’s about it. I also haven’t used other kitchen appliances like the rice cooker (!) or the crock pot. I even reheated leftovers in the Instant Pot and haven’t used the microwave as often. I love it so much that I became an affiliate. See the discount details on the sidebar. It’s cheaper than buying from Amazon with my discount codes!

hip Pressure Cooking Cookbook: Review and Giveaway
One of the websites I go to for pressure cooking information, besides Instant Pot, is a site called hipPressureCooking.com, published by Laura Pazzaglia, who can be seen on videos throughout Instant Pot’s website. Cooking with a pressure cooker is easy but some education is needed at first for things like proper liquid ratios, timing, pressure setting and types of recipes that work best in it. And it turns out, she has a cookbook (Amazon affiliate link) filled with all those info AND amazing recipes! So I was thrilled when she offered her book for me to review, share a recipe from it AND offered a copy to giveaway too! Aren’t YOU lucky!
I will be sharing more recipes from the book this week but first, I want to share one of my favorite, FAVORITE, dishes, Paella.
Quick Seafood Paella Recipe from hip Pressure Cooking Cookbook
I have never made Paella, although it’s one of my favorite dishes, because it’s a bit complicated to make and it “requires” a special Paella pan. I’m always trying to reduce what I have so I didn’t want to buy a pan just to make one dish. But I love Paella’s deep seafood flavor enriched saffron rice mixed in with the variety of seafood and shellfish I love. When I order at a restaurant, even the single portions are so big that I always end up sharing with my family. So this was a perfect dinner menu for the Instant pot.
Paella usually takes hours and multiple steps to cook. But with Instant Pot, it took longer to wash squid and shrimp than to cook this meal!
Sauté the veggies right in the pot.
Add rice, stock, and spices.
Cook on HIGH for 6 minutes. That’s 6 MINUTES!! No lie.
So are you in? Thought so.
Here is the Paella recipe from Laura’s hip Pressure Cooking cookbook.

Notes
Fish Stock: I made my own fish stock in the Instant Pot but you can use vegetable stock if you have. But fish stock it was really simple to make in the Instant Pot before starting this recipe.
Rice: I added 2 cups of rice and 1? cups of fish stock with the seafood to cook in one pot. Then, I made extra rice using the same ratio in another pot (I have two pot liners so I can make two things at once) and added it to the rest of the dish afterwards. The reason being, I didn't want the pot to get too full if I used more rice. But if you don't have another pot liner (I highly recommend getting the
accessory setfrom the company's website), you can probably fit 3 cups of rice and add about 2? cups of fish stock.
EVOO: Sauté setting on Instant Pot does not get very hot so I felt comfortable using EVOO but if you don't, then, you can use Avocado oil.
And now the
giveaway!The giveaway is for 18 years or older US or Canada residents only.
