Quick Answer

Use Our Place Cooker Cups to cook up to three separate single-serve dishes at once in your Perfect Pot, saving time and cleanup.

Why Cooker Cups Work for Solo Meals

Cooker Cups are designed to fit inside your Perfect Pot, letting you prepare multiple small portions simultaneously. This is ideal for single-serve meals when you want variety without cooking multiple pots. Each cup holds enough for one generous serving, and the stackable design means you can cook a protein, a vegetable, and a starch all at once.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Cooker Cups for Single-Serve Meals

  1. Choose Your Ingredients: Select up to three components that cook in similar times. For example, rice (starch), broccoli (vegetable), and chicken breast (protein). Cut ingredients into small, even pieces to ensure they cook through. Avoid mixing ingredients with very different cook times, like raw chicken and delicate greens, unless you stagger their addition.
  2. Fill the Cooker Cups: Place each ingredient in a separate Cooker Cup. Add seasonings and a small amount of liquid (water, broth, or sauce) to each cup—about 1-2 tablespoons per cup. Do not overfill; leave at least 1/2 inch of space at the top. Overfilling can cause spillover during cooking. Keep liquids minimal to avoid soggy results.
  3. Arrange Cups in the Perfect Pot: Place the filled Cooker Cups inside your Perfect Pot. They should sit flat and not touch the sides of the pot. If using three cups, arrange them in a triangle pattern. Add about 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pot to create steam. Ensure the cups are stable and not tilted, or they may tip during cooking.
  4. Cook and Monitor: Cover the Perfect Pot and cook over medium heat. Steam will circulate around the cups. Check doneness after 10-15 minutes, depending on your ingredients. Use a fork or thermometer to test each cup. Cooking times vary by ingredient. Check the densest item first (e.g., chicken or rice) to avoid overcooking delicate items.
  5. Serve and Clean Up: Carefully remove each Cooker Cup using oven mitts or a silicone trivet. Serve directly from the cups or plate your components. Cleanup is quick since each cup is nonstick and dishwasher-safe. Let cups cool for a minute before handling to avoid burns. Rinse immediately if food sticks.
