I inherited my best friend's Grandma's pressure cooker. I've had it for a year and was afraid to use it, until I saw your video. Chickpeas are pressure cooking on the stove right now. Thank you!!! 🙂
Your teaching is so easy to learn, thank you so much we have it at home but don't know how to use it But with this your teaching I can start making use of it from now on.
Thank You ! this was very well explained, I just brought a pressure cooker and have always been so afraid of burning myself. I did not know how to use, Now I am no longer afraid and I am going to cook my first pot of beans . Your timing of explaining was great. I will tune in on your channel
Thank you. My mother came to the U.S. mainland a while ago and I always wondered about the proper way to use it. This is especially after my bad effort of cooking beans in a pressure cooker. This helps a lot. I also saw a tip somewhere that if you don't want to run the pot under water, you can get a spoon and prop it under the black knob until the metal part that gauges the coldness/hotness releases
Don't do that, just include the time of waiting in the cooking time. I guarantee you it will taste a lot better. Pressure cookers are great to cook beans, chickpeas and hard meats, but you need to give them SOME time
You have a beautiful English accent Sir! My co- worker also from Jamaica , I swear God ,I can’t understand a word he says....He toll me that he speak patua ( I don’t know how to spell it) but that’s what he toll me🤣...
My grandfather had one of these. It was always the "dancing pot" in my eyes.. He passed away in 2012 im just here to see this again from my childhood. 💔
Thanks for posting. I bought a used pressure cooker from the thrift store and thought it was broken because the knob on top wasn't attached. I didn't realize it just uses gravity and weight to keep the steam in. Thanks again.
Go back to the thrift store and see if they have the knob somewhere there. Or fine one that fits; Google the brand pressure cooker you have, and see picture of what it looks like before you go back to store. Make sure the rubber is there as well. Good luck!!!
MiQuel M. Samuels no I have the knob. I just thought it was supposed to be attached and didn't know how it worked. Your video showed me how it works. Cooked some amazing artichokes last night in ten minutes and I'm making ham hocks and beans tonight. Thanks again.
Thanks so much! 🙏🏾Excellent instructions 👍🏾but why turn the heat lower when it starts to whistle? What happens if you keep the heat at 8 and don’t turn it down? Will it explode or maybe cook faster? ( I have same pressure cooker used in your video😊!)
Very direct to the point. No time wasted! Thank you so much! That’s why we use pressure cooker to save time. This video, no time wasred! Hehe! Thank u so much!!!
Hello from 2020. This video is very informational. I use to own an electric pressure cooker, which was quite expensive. It's broken now and I am thinking of getting a new one. But because of the price tag, I may get a gas stove unit. I am undecided still. But watching this video I feel a bit more confident about the gas stove version.
Did you end up getting the gas stove version? I was spoiled by my electric one too, but moved out of the states and Im about to try using a stovetop one
Thank u for this video. I just made my first pot of pinto beans in which were amazing. I am so grateful that there was no need to soak for 20 hrs and where my hubby will not bite his fingernails and give me the look of 'whats for dinner?'
Just found your channel. Thank you for this video. I've had a pressure cooker for years...in fact, I think it's the same one you used! I've used the pot to boil potatoes, and pasta. Too afraid to try the pressure side. I'm thinking today, my black beans will get cooked in pressure cooker. Again, thank you. You are awesome teacher.
Thanks from the USA. I've been to Jamaica and I love JERK. Could you do some meat recipe, please? Your beans looked like PINTO beans. But, thanks for the video. I couldn't remember basic instructions. God bless you and stay safe!
Just got my first pressure cooker.... wasn't sure how to use it. This video was very helpful and informative. I'm not so afraid of the darn thing now. Thank you!
@@DaveThundercloud set it up and leave the room, you will know when the cooking is done by the smell or set your watch, when you are ready, turn the hob off, and don't enter the room for 10 MNS at least. Then, it has stop whistling, just open carefully. If still don't dare, go to a friend's house who can use it
You are missing a *VERY* important part of safely using a pressure cooker: once the jiggler starts doing its thing, you're supposed to adjust the heat so that it only jiggles every couple minutes or so. This keeps you from getting to a point where you could ever have too much pressure in the cooker but you still have the same amount of heat inside. This also keeps you from getting to the point where you could have an explosion since you know your pressure is always right at the pressure your jiggler is set at.
Presto pressure cookers have two release valves for too high pressure, so even if you don't know to lower the heat, it's very very unlikely to blow up.
Very important, indeed. If the pressure is too high, the liquid will evaporate too quickly and the food could burn if it rests on the bottom of the pan versus resting on a rack.
I guess he started with medium heat which he refer to as 8. Then afterwards he said that when the pressure cooker started to whistle turn the heat down to 6 (I guess this is low heat).

StandsWithABeer All beans 20 minutes, and smaller beans 15 minutes. First soak in enough water for 30 minutes releases gas. Then pressure cook in a new and fresh set of water. Irie!
I've been given a prestige pressure cooker similar to this ..I do not seem to have that top lid thing ..the steam is whistling through it ...should I have one or do some not ?
May I ask why you were not using the plate that goes in before the food to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the cooker? I thought you always had to use that. Why do you place the weight on before venting. I thought you always have to vent for a few minutes to release the air in order for it to work properly. I was also taught not to run water ovee the weight but to run a slow stream below the weight on the solid part of the cooker. A bit confused now .
New subscriber just because your smart and showed me how to use my pressure cooker and my wife. Blessings and more Blessings Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I have a old pressure cooker and the top is stuck on the metal piece by the handle is stuck and I'm just wondering how could possibly to get it and loose to get the top off if you could please help me I would appreciate it or I'm going to have to throw it away and not be able to use it God bless you!! Please get back with me as soon as possible!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you! I have a pressure cooker sitting there and was afraid to use it. When I was a child my mom's exploded and we had rice falling from the ceiling. When I went on you tube the instructions were for those fancy XLs. I have a regular one like the one you use.
Oh my glob-thankyou! I just bought a pressure cooker and the instructions were terrible. I think we have the same model so I feel confident I can use it with out blowing up!
What if My pressure cooker didnt come with a rubber or a topper? Also those beans were red to start out those look like kidney beans. Lima beans are always green and butter beans are always the color of butter a yellowish color. Thank you and God bless. I hope you can answer my question .
Also, tried editing but couldnt. I'll have to look but I didnt see a lever/ button that shows the safely of the pressure. I bought it used. Wasnt really sure what I was doing I guess?
Isn't the whistle supposed to indicate that the food is done, as opposed to the pot top whistling for half the duration of the cooking process? (asking for a friend)
Yeah my brother,I actually made a dish of turkey necks using the raw ingredients that u season with..I pressure cooked them as well...It was delicious....Oxtails are getting to be very expensive these days...DO you have Lamb in jamaica?? If so,what is your method of preparing? Blessings....
+Stacey Meadows Thank Stacey, Lamb and goat meat as the same texture or hardness. Look at my curry goat video and do lamb the same way. In Jamaica, people buy lamb for goat meat and often do not know the difference. To me there is a slight difference in taste. Yes imported lambs are here, I personally saw a few somewhere. But must lamb meat sold are imported from where I don't know. Nevertheless, goats rome the island like people. we just walk past them, even in the city. Just yesterday, I say oxtail for JA$1,500.00 in a small package in the supermarket. WOW! I just walk pasted..
Well explained buddy also do you think you can make a meat dish and upload it on youtube,because i just bought a pressure cooker and still trying to get to grips with it..ty buddy
My grandma blew up lima beans all over the kitchen a few years ago😂 it was a hot mess and she was using the same one she has had for 40 years. She left it to me and I have it in the stove today, terrified it's going to explode 😂
That little round, rubber piece: It was missing from my lid....I had to dig it out of a drawer and have not seen it for at least 10 yrs . ( I hope it is the Correct piece and not some other tool washer.) It fits and a pretty sturdy piece of rubber. Would be good if you had taken it out and got a Close up on it - as part of your great video. Thanks!
Wrong, wrong, wrong for dry beans and split peas never more than half the pot including water and add a Tblsp.of oil when cooking dry beans to minimize the frothing when the beans start to cook! For everything else never fill it more than two-thirds full. There are often marks placed within the pot for filling. My mom used a Presto pressure cooker since the 1960's without incidence and fed 9 kids using it.
