If you cooking for people should have a hair net.
Pressure cookers rock. There’s no reason to be afraid of the new ones. Fast food never tasted so good and fresh.
The whole point of a pressure cooker is letting the food cook with the lid on. Otherwise what’s the point?
That looked delicious!
“Food cooked in pressure cookers doesn’t look or taste good…”? You’re painting with a very broad brush here. Obviously you have never had anything prepared properly by someone who knows how. Right here on Youtube there are videos of beautiful dishes done right.
In addition, there are several excellent pressure cooker cookbooks available today. My personal favorite is “Miss Vickie’s Big Book of Pressure Cooker Recipes.” Do your homework & stop bashing PC’s out of ignorance.
The prep work you see being done here, browning the meat, sweating the vegetables, and stirring all together before putting on the lid, is vital to getting the most flavor out of all the ingredients. The actual cooking was done under pressure with the lid on.
She makes it seem as if the cooker is supposed to steam continually throughout the cooking time. Not so. Once that stream of steady steam appears, the heat is reduced to maintain pressure to just a “puff” of steam every 10 seconds. Keeping a steady stream of steam can cause the cooker to go dry, and burn the food, before the cooking time is up. I’m glad magazines like Gourmet are finally giving pressure cookers some recognition, but they should teach proper procedure too.

I had to make this myself, It was delicious!
Please show us more pressure cooker videos.
Great video promoting pressure cookers. Can you advise what size the cooker is and why you chose that size?
I am trying to decide between a 6L and 8L cooker.
