JUNE'S CHALLENGE
No grill? No backyard? No problem.
This month, we’re throwing a cookout—Instant Pot style. We want sticky ribs, saucy pulled pork, smoky beans, buttery corn... all the hits, none of the charcoal. We’ve partnered with ButcherBox to bring you the best cuts in the game—now it's your turn to serve up a backyard feast straight from your pressure cooker. Bonus points if we need extra napkins.

How to Enter
OH NO! DON'T GET DISQUALIFIED...
- No Instant Pot® in your photo or video. It’s called Instant Pot Chef of the Year for a reason.
- Not tagging @InstantPot or using #IPChefOfTheYear. We can’t judge what we can’t find.
- Not following @InstantPot and the brand partner of the month. Huge dealbreaker.
- Using inappropriate, offensive, or negative language or imagery. We love spice, just not that kind.
- Copying someone else’s recipe(s). No plagiarism in our pantry. We’re looking for your culinary genius, not someone else’s.
- Negative mentions of competitor brands in your submission. This isn’t a roast—unless we’re talking about dinner. Keep it about your Instant Pot masterpiece.
