CAN YOU COOK FROZEN MEAT IN THE INSTANT POT?

Yes, you can indeed safely cook frozen meats in an Instant Pot. Because the meat cooks so quickly in a pressure cooker, it comes up to temperature fast enough that it is safe to eat when it is done cooking.

This is one of the wonderful reasons I love my Instant Pot. I can go from frozen to a fully cooked dinner in less than an hour!

Slow Cookers and Crock-Pots do not bring meat to a hot temperature quick enough. The frozen meat stays at a dangerous in-between temperature that allows bacteria to grow that can you make you sick if you eat it.
