Here is the process to make your freezer meals fort he pressure cooker. Remember that your crock pot will work as well! The thing I am loving most about the electric pressure cooker is that I have dinner done in 30 min. or less every night. It's the BEST tasting meat. While it's cooking (for 15 min.) I make a pasta or some kind of starch side. and a vegetable.
Thats it! Done. Kids eat it ALL and its easy clean up. what more can you ask for!
Once I purchase all my meats and marinades, I bring it home and prepare the meals. This whole process takes me 30 minutes tops!
I make all my marinades right in the bags, label and get ready to add the meat
*recipes to these marinades are either from the back of the packages, a bottle of favorite marinade, or from other recipes on this blog that I just used. You cant go wrong with any marinade your family enjoys!
Washing the meat is something I personally do- not all believe you should or need to. The only thing you need to be mindful of is, once your done rinsing all the meat bleach out your sink and surrounding area thoroughly!
I place 3-4 pieces of chicken breast in each bag. I have 2 chuck roasts and a lfank steak. I also made a bag of meatballs.
All ready to zipp up!
Ready to freeze! Honestly, so easy.

I just bought my electric pressure cooker and have only used it twice. I assume that you defrost your meat packets prior to cooking?
Thanks for the great idea!
Best thing about a pressure cooker is you don't have to thaw anything out!
Wish there was a menu list and recipes to go with the pics. Of your prep pressure cooker bags...can you post that?
Do you have to add any liquid to the pot before cooking, or do you have enough marinade in each bag? How much marinade do you put in each?
What marinades have you had the most success with? I would love a list.
disappointing :( there are no recipes or cooking times to go with the pictures.
Sorry for delay in responding to comments. Life.
No you do NOT have to thaw out meal before putting into the pressure cooker! Thats the best part about this!
I usually add about a 1/4-1/2 cup water as I will run the bag under the faucet to get the rest of the marinade out and dump in the cooker. If there isnt enough liquid at the bottom of the cooker it wont work. But it doestnt require a lot.
There are recipes in previous posts on the blog, but the freezer bag pictures are all from favorite marinade recipes that are either on the back of store bought packets or just a bottle of store bought marinade.
I have a couple marinades that I took from other recipes on this blog as well.
What are the settings you use For each kind of meat and do you cook them for the same length of time? Also, do you brown the outside of any of the meat before starting the pressure cooker? Thank you for posting this!
no need to.
are all your recipes for the pressure cooker? i was looking at your pressure cooker prep but you did not list your pressure cooker recipes. i like that you prep your pressure cooker meals..so would like to know which recipes you prep for the pressure cooker
As a person who has freezer prepped for the crock pot for years, it was reassuring to see that it appears to be the same process for pressure cooking. I've only had my new instant pot for a week and I'm a little intimidated by it. Thanks for the post.
Where are the recipes?
I am also still unable to see any recipe
I've found many of their recipes on the previous blogs. They look good, too. Can't wait to try them.
