Ah, the Instant Pot. In the past few years, the electric pressure cooker has become an immediate classic in thousands of kitchens all over the world. That’s because the Instant Pot is really that darn awesome. The useful tool can sauté, cook rice, make yogurt, slow cook and pressure cook. And yes, you can even make a cake in it.

The Instant Pot was also one of the most popular kitchen appliances to give and receive this past holiday season, so we’re betting there are a lot of newly-minted Instant Pot owners still scratching their heads about how to use their new kitchen tool. Instant Pot Facebook groups to the rescue!

While it’s totally normal to feel overwhelmed while learning to use the device, you don’t have to rely solely on the manual to get your sea legs. There are scores of useful and supportive Facebook groups, where you can pick up tips and recipes from seasoned pros. Here are 10 groups you absolutely must join to get the most out of your Instant Pot.
