Did you know that slow cooker recipes are really easy to convert to the pressure cooker?
Yes, Pressure Cookers Are Safe!
In the past, you may have heard stories of pressure cookers being difficult or scary to use.
Theres no need to be scared of pressure cooking these days, though!
The electric ones are safe, quiet, and easy to operate.
They basically work like slow cookers, except everything happens much, much faster.
How Does a Pressure Cooker Work?
This prevents any more steam from escaping the pot and closes the seal on the MultiPot.
Some recipes are better with a natural release, and others can be quick-released more on that below.
The high pressure created within this sealed pot helps cook food much more quickly than in a slow cooker!
Take, for instance, Elises recipe forSlow Cooker Guinness Beef Stew.
The pork releases enough additional liquid as it cooks to ensure proper cooking overall.
Its important to include enough liquid in your recipe so it can properly come up to a rolling boil.
There are lots of time charts online for how long to cook different ingredients in a pressure cooker.
We likeMealthys Cheat Sheet, since its really concise and includes a lot of foods we cook often.
For ourbeef stew, the stew meat is the ingredient with the longest cooking time.
In pressure cooker speak, these two methods are commonly referred to as quick release or natural release.
Move the Dairy to the End of a Recipe
This is a big one!
One example of this is ourPressure Cooker Cheesecake, which cooks inside the pressure cooker in a springform pan.
This saves tons of water, especially for pasta!
For instance, a pound of macaroni requires a quart of liquid.
For grains, you’re able to refer tothat cheat sheetmentioned above.
you’re able to do the same thing with the MultiPot.
Once the pressure has released, just initiate the pot and stir in the ingredients.
When the food is ready, press Cancel to turn off the pot.
We hope these tips are helpful and make cooking MultiPot meals a total breeze.
