THANK YOU! My husband bought an electric pressure cooker, but it came with poor directions. You made using it so simple, not just how to use it, but why it works the way it does. As I was watching, I started it up to make a recipe for basic shredded chicken and I wasn't surprised by the sounds and sights going on because you explained everything so well! I immediately liked this video and subscribed to your channel! Thank you again!!

[@philipwest4553]

Nice demo, one can cook sweet potatoes in a microwave oven in around 10 minutes on high power, no waiting time for the pressure to drop and no waiting time for the pressure to build up, just 10 minutes and they're done.

[@bridalrama6618]

Well done! Ok I'm not afraid to use this thing now. Thank you!

[@angiechilders483]

Thank you so much. My mom just gave me one as a gift and I'm afraid to use it. Lol After watching your video I feel much better about using it now and can't wait to try it out. I have the Fissler one.

Thanks very much for simple and basic use of a pressure cooker . 😊

[@tikibay75]

Thank you- I have one that's been in the box for a few years. I've been afraid to use it. Looks easy.

[@FoodChainTV]

Yes, electric ones, especially, are very safe to use.

Excellent and very clear video. Whatever questions I was having, I got answered :-) Now I can safely buy one good brand. Will see if you have also posted a video about cooking lamb meat

[@FoodChainTV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mercyshiks8150]

Thank you

[@debbsugar]

I want to thank you for helping understand how to correctly use a pressure cooker. I feel more relax and the instruction in book was overwhelmed because it was pages long of confusion where you summarized it in a few minutes.

[@Privy.Things]

My pressure cookers have revolutionised my whole life!!!🤩🤩🤩

[@broadcasttttable]

Thanks for this well done video. How would I pressure cook rice and beans together, starting with dry beans and dry rice?

[@FoodChainTV]

You would have to cook the rice and the beans separately. You cannot pressure cook them together. By the times beans cook, the rice would be obliterated.

[@misticblue57]

Hi could you please show how to use the slow cooker method.

[@carolynmayclin1554]

I enjoyed watching your video and it was very helpful. You answered my first question right away, "Is liquid needed?" Got it. Now, how long do I cook the food? I have some beef stew meat I want to sear first and then cook. My instructions don't include how long to cook food items.

[@FoodChainTV]

You can Google, "How long do I pressure cook [insert food here]"

[@carolynmayclin1554]

@@FoodChainTV Thank you! I should have read your response to a similar question first. I purchased a MOOSOO electric pressure cooker. It doesn't allow changing the time to cook meat. This is puzzling to me as more meat should take more time and less meat should take less time. But I've never used a pressure cooker so perhaps the rules are different. My beef did turn out yummy!

~Your fabulous...do you have other videos.....🙂

[@abualwaleed369]

thanks for your informative video ,... Can I make a bone broth on electric pressure cooker ? How many hours ?

[@FoodChainTV]

Yes, you can make bone broth in a pressure cooker. - Beef bone broth can be cooked on high for 2 hours. - Chicken bone broth for 45 minutes. - Add a little cow's feet or pig's feet in any bone broth for extra collagen. In both cases, add a little bit of apple cider vinegar to the water to get some of the calcium out of the bones.

[@bradleyholi2875]

Is there any point of letting the pressure out given thats it's the high pressure that fastens the cooking?

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

Can they be used as a slow cooker too? That is the reason I bought an instant pot. But most videos are all about presure cooking.

[@FoodChainTV]

An intant pot is a pressure cooker.

[@LYCOGEL]

Hi Chef Cristian I'm using a stove top pressure cooker but I think I've been doing it wrong for years. I use the nr 2 setting on the pressure release valve and when the food is cooked I slowly push it back with a spoon to nr 1 and then to the end? Is this why I sometimes run out of liquid in my pot?

[@FoodChainTV]

You want to use one setting for the entire cook. And if you're running out of liquid, you probably need to put more liquid in there to begin with. Remember that what cooks the food is the superheated liquid, so the food has to be covered in liquid in order to cook.

[@normarodriguez1489]

Gracias It help me a lot since instructions are very poor

[@russellgooding5243]

Can I pressure can with mason jars? Like they do on top of the stove with a pressure cooker pot. I'm very much afraid of the stove ones.

[@fx5649]

Can I put onions in the pressure

[@LunaMoonfae]

I didn't buy it,I was gifted it without instructions. Thank you for sharing 😂

[@veece7846]

How to gauge how much time is needed more or less, obviously depends on type I guess, but just an indication please? Thanks so much!

[@FoodChainTV]

If you don't know how long to pressure cook a food, 1. Use a cookbook, 2. Consult an online recipe, 3. Use GOOGLE.

[@judyyap8657]

Mine came with a darkish pot like you one you used with sweet potatoes, and a silver pot. Is there a difference in which to use for different types of food?

[@FoodChainTV]

The dark colored pot is a Teflon-coated pot. The Teflon will eventually break down. The other pot is polished stainless steel - it will remain in good condition much longer than the Teflon pot and is of higher quality.

[@judyyap8657]

Food Chain TV Oh, ok. Thank you!

[@davidjustdavid3955]

Scusi chef, can the cuisinart sous vide? I want to get one if it can without having to get the water immersion stick.

[@FoodChainTV]

The Cuisinart Pressure cooker cannot sous vide. If you want to properly sous-vide, you will need to buy a sous-vide. There are no pressure cookers that can properly control temperature like a sous-vide machine can.

[@davidjustdavid3955]

@@FoodChainTV thanks for the reply.

[@davidjustdavid3955]

You can order the Fissler electric pressure cooker here amzn.to/2UtwpBm

[@bradleyholi2875]

So after 8 minutes the food is not cooked you start the process afresh?

[@lornafeltham9520]

I'm not coming to pressure properly. The steamer is set in the right place, but all the steam is coming out of the other side of the pressure setting. It's not working correctly now. It's only 2 years old.

[@eccosselion]

The name of the game is versatility,it's horses 🐎🐎🐎 for courses,Pressure cookers and Slow 🐌 cookers have there place in the kitchen,it's all down to time and personal preference in the method you want to choose and the results you require in the taste and texture in the food you cook,if you are out all day the Slow cooker is ideal,especially the new delay digital slow 🐢cookers on the market today they add a totally new dimension and versatility to cooking,the pressure cooker is fast and efficient in what it cooks,but you have to be around in the kitchen when it is in use as the cooking time can be very short indeed,again it's down to preference and what you want to achieve .

[@pattystueber9655]

When do i know the pot has come to pressure. At that time i tell the pot how many minutes to cook Is that right?

[@FoodChainTV]

An electric pressure cooker will have an indicator that the pot has come up to pressure. Consult your instruction manual. For most pots, the timer will start counting down. This is an indication that the pot has come up to pressure.

[@lydiauys2351]

Hi. I want to cook lentils just enough to use as a salad. Just cooked. I set the timer on ten minutes but it still comes out as a mush. Please help

[@FoodChainTV]

You can experiment with less time on the pressure cooker. Or, just boil them in a regular pot while checking them frequently until your desired texture is reached. No need to use the pressure cooker.

[@tashagarcia1172]

Ok

[@davidjustdavid3955]

Why is not good to leave it on keep warm after the cook time? Id like to use it as a slow cooker 12 hours or so on low heat.

[@FoodChainTV]

If you leave it on WARM after the cook time, the food will keep cooking and may over-cook. This is a video about how to use a pressure cooker. If your pressure cooker has a slow cooker function, see your instruction manual for how to use it. Otherwise, use a slow cooker to slow cook.

A kenwood pressure cooker uses 1 cup of water for 1 cup of rice

[@AC-pf1ne]

I'm going to have to get a PHD to learn how to operate the Fissler.. Honestly.. I had a fail cooking rice! one cup rice, one cup water.. 15 min.. and it never started counting down! Even though there was high pressure built up!

[@FoodChainTV]

Hi there. It's 1 cup rice to TWO (2) Cups water. Also, cook the rice on high pressure for 5 minutes. Turn the unit off and let the pressure dissipate naturally. Perfect rice. And when in doubt, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
