Why use the Instant Pot for party prep?

Anytime you’re hosting a party or get-together, you want to be out enjoying yourself with your guests. Using the pressure cooker means you can walk away–at least for part of the cooking time!

And with something like Instant Pot Wings, you save so much time over baking. It keeps you out of the kitchen and back in action that much sooner.

Making Instant Pot buffalo wings is easy and quick. You don't even have to turn on the oven to make these buffalo wings!

Are these easy appetizer recipes for a crowd?

Yes! All of these recipes can be scaled, so if you need to double the recipe, you can. Just make sure you’re using the larger Instant Pots, the 6- or 8-quart size.

What can I serve alongside these appetizers?

If you’re hosting a party, make it easy on yourself! Use your pressure cooker to make a big batch of Instant Pot Pulled Pork for your guests to eat on buns or with tortilla chips. You can keep the pork warm while using the pot a second time for one of these easy Instant Pot appetizers recipes.

When I’m hosting a crowd, I’ll often ask a friend or neighbor if I can borrow a crockpot or Instant Pot. That makes it even easier to multi-task!

What if I don’t have a pressure cooker or Instant Pot?

No problem! There are lots of delicious and easy appetizers recipes you can make without one. Try my Easy Cheesy Bean Dip, Homemade Ranch Dip, and these Easy Pinwheel Appetizers.
