I just started using an old-school stove-top pressure cooker. It has multiple safety features, including two vents. After a quick flip through the manual, I was convinced you would have to almost intend to blow one up to cause the kind of catastrophe they talk about. Bring to a boil, then simmer, just like in a million other recipes.

For years I lived in a camper where I'd cook as often as possible with a pressure cooker. My gas cylinders would last longer and I had better control over steam and condensation in the cramped space.

[@JavMacHer]

anarchist much?

[@geniuspharmacist]

First real reasons why someone would prefer a pressure cooker..... The other reasons would be cooking long cooking items when there's no time to plan them ahead or to reduce their exposure to air during cooking. Or trying to cook at very high altitudes where certain things can take longer. Every other reason I've ever heard about saving time or saving some energy or convenience or anything else never made enough sense to me... I also think the cook should be able to check on their food as many times as they want during cooking unless you're frying chicken at KFC restaurant.

[@CloudSpirals]

That is an excellent option. I have lived in a Van before and would like to do so again in the near future, just doing a new fit out first! Controlling condensation and preserving gas alone makes it a great consideration 🙏

[@MultiDBMusic]

In India, it's inseparable part of every kitchen. :) I use some still containers to cook more than one item at a time. Nothing to be worried about! Things to keep in mind: 1. Pour enough water. Not too less, not too much. 2. Pressure cooking requires full attention! 3. Maintain right temperature, and keep all ears for number of whistles. 4. When done, never ever try to open the dil. Let the steam escape first otherwise food will burst out like a volcano. And that is dangerous. 5. As it most effective way for cooking beans, vegetables but make sure not to overcook them.

[@Comicscene.7289]

It's daily use Because without pressure cooker dal, check pea take lot of time to cook

[@lilyillustrates5903]

my favorite things to make with a pressure cooker is stocks. It is so easy and the flavor is so amazing as well. A 6 hour stock is easily made into an hour and a half stock. Its an amazing tool to have :)

[@tomlevine2134]

I LOVE my pressure cooker, the ultimate multi-tasker for a home chef with limited time. Rice, beans, soups, veggies, I make all kinds of things with mine, which always sits atop my counter. Truly, endless possibilities. An additional plus, is just the fact that you don't have to stay married to your stove-top while the water boils or whatever. Just set it and forget it. Example, potatoes. Throw the potatoes in, throw the water in, set the time, and walk away. If the timer goes off, and you're doing other things, no big deal. the steam will simply escape and the food will remain hot and delish. (white rice: equal water to rice, set for 7 minutes...done).

My dad has an old school pressure cooker from the 80's and it still works! We make Cuban black beans and red beans in our cooker. As a kid it always terrified me but the food was always awesome! Best frijoles ever haha ^^

Pressure cookers rock. I purchased one about 4 years ago and along with my blender it's about the only thing I use in my kitchen. I don't eat meat/dairy/eggs and eat soooo many beans. It cuts my favourite bean curry cooking time by about 70%. Also ... just tastes so much better. Love it. Though they can be very intimidating the first few times you use it. You sputtering and hissing can induce some stress. If you're a meat eater then pressure cooker is for you. Those cheap cuts will melt in your mouth - it'll be the best thing you'll ever taste/

[@seikibrian8641]

The main reason for all the pressure cooker disasters in the '70s (and those that occur today) was that the users didn't read the directions. DO NOT over-fill them, and DO NOT cook foods that can foam up and block the relief valve. RTFM! Simple.

[@graceskerp]

+SeikiBrian The other thing that can put supper on the ceiling is popping the lid before the pressure is completely released. Plus, too high heat. For foaming foods like beans add a tablespoon of cooking oil to the mix.

[@seikibrian8641]

+Grace Skerp -- Most modern pressure cookers have safety mechanisms that prevent opening the lid before the pressure is equalized, or nearly so.

[@graceskerp]

+SeikiBrian Good to know. We use a Presto, circa 50's. Oldie, but goldie.

[@lisamanis4336]

+Grace Skerp I have mother's that she never used, 1966 a403a and have replaced the gaskets. I tried it out first with water and the bubbles came from around the screw valve on top so I don't think it would be safe to use now though I wish it were.

[@crystallackey7859]

+LISA Manis You should take it to have it checked. sometimes it just needs new seals. Most of Cooperative Extension offices throughout the state will test pressure canner gauges. Check your local county office. If by any chance they cannot, maybe they can request a neighboring county Look for the phone number of your county office on extension.usu.edu or in your phone book.hould take it to have it checked. sometimes it just needs new seals.

One of my grandmothers used a pressure cooker almost daily - especially for canning meat. Yes, I witnessed an explosion - beans on the ceiling in the kitchen. I had one myself for years and loved the ability to get 'slow cooked' flavour in 45 minutes instead of overnight, but I've never seen one in a commercial kitchen and I have a lot of experience in commercial kitchens.

[@YourMajesty143]

Growing up, my mom constantly used the pressure to make stuffed grape leaves, stuffed cabbage rolls, stuffed cow intestines, and any other middle eastern dish she could stick in there. I used to freak out that it would burst its top, but its the only thing in the house that had a temper tantrum my mom looked forward to lol

[@RebuttalRecords]

Once you get over the initial fear-factor, you stand at the stove and laugh while your friends dive for cover :-) My friends used to run out of my kitchen when I was deep-frying and the oil used to look like it was about to boil over. It never did, because I kept the element hot enough to burn off the excess moisture from whatever it was I was cooking.

If you need to cold quickly, just let water fall in the side, or you can break the rubber (if your cooker have one).

Hello. I never heard of an instant pot before but would like to know if you think it's better than a pressure cooker? And does it keep the nutrients in pretty well (or is it like a crock-pot in that way?)? Um I seldom ever use my pc because it's kind of a head ache and I can't seem to get meats to come out like dear old grandma used to make them, falling off the bone and delicious. Also, which model/brand would you recommend for someone that only feeds himself? Thanks much for your time and enjoy the blazingly hot summer weather.:-)

[@winebox]

Hello Graham, the instant pot is great for cooking for one since it's only 6 quarts. It also has a stainless steel insert. It is a pressure cooker, rice cooker and I think it might have a slow cooker function but not sure. It does have a keep warm function after the pressure cooking part is done so the food doesn't get cold. There's really only two models that I know of. The regular and a new one that you can program with a smart phone. Check out their website.

[@MemoGrafix]

I just go raw Halal (= Kosher) meat scraps (no pork) and My cats are very healthy (shiny fur, strong teeth) and all are over the age of 5 the eldest is 9. I did the same with dogs I've had in the past and they lived for a long time as well for dog years. *In nature animals don't cook their food.* I would never cook for an animal. Their digestive is very suited for raw meat. Pet food is an industry that has *_CONvinced CONNEDsumers_* to fatten their finances since the 1860's. We need to *KNOW* We don't ever need to cook for Our pets.

[@bulasturubula3660]

Pet food industry is complete bullshit, i agree with you on that point... Most of the health troubles our pets have is because of the pet food... My dog litterally almost died because of my ignorance on that point, the DAY i stopped giving him shitty petfood you could see he was healthier. I just don't agree with the raw meat, i mean it's not bad, but they will only digest 60% of it, so, it's ok, but you lose 40% money there (which might be not much, but i'm poor so every penny counts :p) It's a good treat, but for an everyday feeding, it's more expensive and not healthier. Oh and if you're still reading, white meat is much better than beef, beef may give them kidney stones when they grow old.

[@MemoGrafix]

I don't buy the meat scraps so no money lost, the Halal butchers I know they give it to Me because they throw it out anyway. Sometimes I may get over 50-60lbs of it if I go around the first of the month. Good thing I have a big deep freezer. I get more meat scraps in weight than I purchase the saleable cuts Me & My Son eats. My Daughter is a vegetarian, so I don't have to buy a lot of meat for Us. My late Mother was a veterinary doctor for over 55+ yrs she *never* told her clients to feed raw meat to their pets. But with our dogs/cats she fed it to them. They were healthy pets. She never told Me beef would give animals kidney stones. My Moms is not alive for Me to ask her. I will keep that in mind as My pets age and give them chicken or other easily digestible meat. I'm quite sure no other veterinary would openly say it's okay to feed pets raw meat to their clients. I don't agree that raw meat is a just merely a treat, that is the way animals survived through out history before CONsumerism.

[@bulasturubula3660]

Great. For me cooking it is also a convenient way to store it, as i have only 1 fridge. I cook in the pressure cooker and i leave it there since it's pretty well closed, in the cave I'm not saying that beef will cause kidney stones to all dogs, some races are way more subject to it (dalmatians for example), and for my dog it only become a problem with age.

Anything you can do in a slow cooker you can do in a pressure cooker in 20 minutes. But wait! There's so much more! You can do all kinds of stuff with a pressure cooker you can't with a slow cooker. Just google some recipes. When I discovered pressure cooking, I threw out the slow cooker as a waste of space. I even had a cooker cook-off with my girlfriend of the time, who was a staunch slow cooker advocate, and a bunch of friends over for dinner as taste engineers. We made the same base ingredients in one batch, put half in her slow cooker in the morning, I put my half in my cooker a half hour before serving. Results were about half and half. In other words, no-one could tell the difference.

When i rebelled she smashed a pot in my nose that caused it to bleed like hell. I would later fuck up her back and she needed surgery. In the long run I look back and it was good to be domesticated early as I was able to cook for myself at 5. It's funny because she won't let her own daughter do any of the stuff she made me do even at 10.

What is the psi

[@wholeNwon]

If you buy one, you'll be happiest with one that can reach 15 psi.

1:24 hes thinkn bout them beans

[@timamato7519]

My electric doesn't even release and steam and it tenderizes the toughest meat. Also great for bone in poultry.

I'm just curious what the bacon chef is cooking O.o. All the white goopy stuff. Looks like frozen gelatin rich broth or something. Looks curious XD

[@misscndnwoman2177]

my kids used to fall asleep to the sound of the pressure cooker

[@intractablemaskvpmGy]

I don't even bother to soak beans anymore. Straight into the PC and an hour later they're done. Want pulled pork? An hour and a half in the PC. If you want smoke flavor then smoke it for a couple hours first. The the PC does the rest. Short ribs in 30 minutes. I could go on and on...

I was 1 1/2 when I used my first pressure cooker!

[@BenRangel]

What scares me about pressure cooking is you have to know how long it should take, cause you can't lift up the lid and take a bite to test during cooking. So I never cook anything except chili and pulled pork, which are hard to overcook.

[@MicahGlover]

I only ruined one steak before mastering how to cook steak house style steaks. I just researched how do to it before blindly throwing a $10 steak on the grill.

[@MicahGlover]

If you're short on time or forgot to leave the steak out to room temp, you can cheat it. Simply dry brine the steak/s, put it in a ziplock bag, and submerge the bag into a bowl or sink of hot water that's around 110 degrees F. Do those methods, and you'll have a $50 steak and some impressed friends.

Recommend Lorna Sass' cook books: Cooking Under Pressure and Pressure Perfect. Recipes for everything from broths to desserts. Also cooking times for common foods. Can't go wrong with her instructions.

[@ruthfreeman864]

BenRangel cook it for about three-quarters of the recommended time release the pressure test it and then you can always restart it
