Does anyone use a pressure cooker?
Comments (22)I've used a pressure cooker for over 35 years, and am so dependent on it that I always had one in my travel trailer as well as my own kitchen. My daughters both own one; one daughter uses hers as often as I do. Believe it or not, she requested one for a birthday present while she was still in college! The other one reluctantly took the one from her grandma's RV (after they sold their RV), and now really likes using it. Roasts -- chili -- spaghetti sauce -- sirloin tip steaks -- are just a few of the things I make in mine. It's used at least once a week. I currently have a Presto stainless steel whose handle has loosened too much to use, so I am using the Mirror aluminum model that used to be in my travel trailer. Donna...See MorePressure Cookers
Comments (22)Re 15 pounds of pressure, it might be the advertised standard but does it really reach it? I stopped paying for Cook's Illustrated online when they started nickel and diming (except a lot more than nickels and dimes) for all different levels of membership. But I remember that in their review of stove-top pressure cookers, including all the usual suspects, Fagor, Kuhn Rikon, Presto, WMF, Fissler, etc., they found that Fissler was the only one that reached full 15 pounds of pressure. I don't recall the results of the electric ones. (Although as I recall at the time they weren't impressed with the browning of any of them.) I have no idea how they measured the pressure, whether it was an actual pressure measurement or if they backed into it from temp. I know their scientific methods have been questioned. Don't shoot the messenger....See MorePressure Cooker.
Comments (15)Beef and Barley Stew 2 lbs chuck or round roast cut into 1 1/2 cubes 1 cup baby carrots 2 stalks celery cut 1 1/2 pieces 1/3 cup pearled barley 1T olive oil 4 tsp of beef base mixed into 4 cups water 1/2 cup red wine (I use another 1/2 cup of tomato juice) 2 T tomato paste 1/8 tsp ground allspice 1T minced garlic 2 bay leaves 1 tsp dried thyme 1 cup frozen peas 1 onion sliced thin 8 ounces mushrooms halved 2T corn starch mixed into 2T water salt and pepper to taste add all ingredients except peas, onions, mushroom and corn starch in the pressure cooker, lock the lid. Set cooker to high and cook for 20 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 5 minutes before quick releasing the remaining pressure and remove lid. Set cooker to high or brown with lid off and add peas, onion and mushrooms. Simmer for 5 minutes Pour corn starch mixture into simmering stew slowly until thickens to your liking. salt and pepper to taste For more traditional beef stew replace the barley with 8 halved new potatoes....See MoreDo You Have An Electric Pressure Cooker?
Comments (7)I have an electric pressure cooker and use it regularly. I especially use it after roasting a whole chicken. I save all the bones & skin and pressure cook them with water and aromatics to produce really tasty and easy chicken broth. I've cooked beets, potatoes, and other hard veggies in it too. I make pork chili verde in it often. I will tell you this. The pressure of an electric is lower than a stove top cooker, as ci-lantro mentioned. That means that you need to cook things longer than what you'd normally do with your stove top version. Also, my cooker had a lousy recipe book with incorrect times for cooking. I eventually figured out how long a pot roast would take all on my own. Then I went searching for other brands and found the recipe booklet for Cuisinart. It seemed to have more realistic times. I've linked to the Cuisinart recipe booklet and two websites that have recipes specifically for electric cookers.
