    Is it hot where you are? It is 107 degrees here in Arizona today and the last thing that I want to do is turn on the oven! Last year I grilled as much food as possible, like Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Bowls and Grilled Pizza Margherita. This year I am taking a different approach, I am using my Instant Pot to keep me indoors!! Since you may be in the same boat oven where you live, I have put together 20 Instant Pot Recipes to Beat the Heat.....
