Just started using a pressure cooker last month. Made the mistak eof buying an aluminium one, so I found a stainless steel bowl insert that allows me to pressure cook with food in the steel bowl. Using a steamer insert, also. Anyone have suggestions regarding stuff for pressure cooking?
I’ve been pressure cooking for awhile and do my beef stew in i and roast, corned beef, ribs. Beans,endless ideas. Everything just turns out so tender.
Plug it in, let it get hot, and throw a couple of lbs. of cubed pork, a handful at a time. Brown well. Add some onion after you brown the pork and saute it in the residual pork fat for a few minutes. To the onion, add the chopped celery, bean sprouts, water, soy sauce, garlic, and pork. Use the recipe you'd normally use but make sure your liquid level is safe according to the manufacturer's directions. It cooks in half the time or even less and comes out extremely good; the pork is tender and the veggies are thoroughly cooked but aren't mushy. Once it's done, take off the lid, turn the heat up, make a flour or corn starch slurry, and add it back into the liquid, letting it thicken, a couple of minutes will do it.
Beef stew is great in the pressure cooker, too, using the same basic technique as the chop suey. Brown the meat right in the hot pressure cooker first. Add everything else and use the proper amount of water. Cooks in no time.
