Question: I got a new pressure cooker and have never used one!.!.!.!?
Can you please tell me what you can cook in them or What are some of thing you like to cook in them!? Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I use a pressure cooker almost daily! Think of it as a slow cooker or crock pot on warp speed!. They are great for cooking beans or lentils that normally would take hours to cook on a stovetop!. If you soak dried beans/lentils overnight, they will cook even faster in a PC!.

A PC is also really good for cooking tough cuts of meats (lamb, mutton!.!.!.!.)!. It cooks them quickly and evenly without drying them out!.

Here are some great PC recipes:

I grew up with a pressure cooker and I love it!.

This was the only household item my husband has ever been aloud to purchase for me for Christmas!. I really really needed a new one and didn't really have the money so I told him that this was the only time he could buy something for the house for me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Glad your interested!! First of all, you can find all kinds of recipes on line and at the library, and I like to cook whole meals in my cooker!. Get a nice pot roast, carrots, onion and celery and it's done in 40-45 min!. depending on the size of the roast and your cooker!. Be sure to find a book that tells you cooking times and at what lb of pressure!. Good luck and enjoy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They are great for dried beans/peas or even a pot roast!.!.!.!. 45 min later, you have a finished and TENDER supper! Love me some pressure cookers! use the recipe book that came w/ it for ideas!. Great to cook down a whole chicken to get stock + meat!.!.!.!. forgot to thaw something for dinner!? throw it in the pressure cooker and let 'er rip!. Dinner's still on time!

don't fill more than 2/3 full of liquid!. You need room for steam!. Don't let it get dry, either!. You need liquid to make steam!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
