    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.

    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.

      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.

    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
      @graceskerp 8 лет назад +9

      +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
      @seikibrian8641 8 лет назад +8

      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.

    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).

    Here in Brazil everybody uses Pressure Cooker. The secret to use well is cook and let it lose the pressure naturally. And never pull the valve, or you can give your skin fried by vapor. If you need to cold quickly, just let water fall in the side, or you can break the rubber (if your cooker have one).

      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.

    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 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
      @bulasturubula3660 7 лет назад

      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
      @MemoGrafix 7 лет назад +1

      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.

      Bacon's the most overrated food in cooking. It's good but it isn't the amazing, earth shattering item it's made out to be. It's salty and fatty and easily and often overcooked. It's usually a bit of a one note flavor which is fine but not always necessary. I could easily go without eating bacon for the rest of my life.

      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.

    Many thanks for this video. I have one and it will be 25 years old in 6 days time. (A wedding present). I had to repair it recently. I had to machine a deeper groove on the lathe and replace the circlip on the steam venter. It is old, battered and it works. I am thinking of getting a second one. Wonderful tool in the kitchen. Regards and greetings from Africa

    I've made bone-in pork chops in an Instant Pot, that melt in your mouth, which sounds gross when talking about meat, but trust me, it's incredibly good, AND the gravy I make with the juice at the bottom of the pot, tastes like I slaved away at it all day, and all it took was less than hour start to finish.

    Mine is an indispensable item in my kitchen. They are worth the investment just for the energy efficiency angle. I use mine for stocks, beans, and for cooking down lower quality cuts of beef and pork as pressure cookers make a mockery of tough connective tissue.

    Pressure + vacuum cooker is best invention. Save money and make even tastier food than standard cooking.
    Not only that, it makes it considerably easier for your body to digest.
    Crapping out up to around half of the food you eat, if it is tough-ish or not chewed much, bad times.

    I am still using my old original 6-Q aluminum Duromatic pressure cooker pot. My pot have 2 safety release valves feature at the center of the cover. There was one time when some small particles of the food got into the holes of the first valve. The second valve would rise up releasing the pressure. It indicated that something wasn't right and I immediately stop cooking. From that time on, I would disassemble the first valve and clean it everytime using the pot.

    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...

  • @MajorMalfunction

    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.

    Stove top pressure cooker will always get faster and better results. Can sear meats better and release pressure naturally better.
    However wouldn't think a pressure cooker could make fish better than in an oven... oven baked fish in a Dutch oven would create better caramelization and flavour

      Karl Rodney Pelejo many people that claim they remember their early childhood, is actually from the stories their parents and other people tell them. Hearing these stories kinda acts like a confirmation bias and they take it as if they've remembered the experiences when it's proven otherwise.
      I've always heard people claim they remembered things when they were 1 or 2 and chalked it up to maybe there's something wrong with me for not remembering anything of it aside from a dream or two.

      I was doing the dishes at 4 as my sister babysat me and she was a lazy cow. Had to do it on top of a chair. Then she made me wash the bath tub for her and my younger brother as well. 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.

    I'm not a fan of pressure cookers. I think they are pressurized steamers. BUT, if you need to make a meal fast from raw to cooked they're perfect. Meat can sometimes come out stringy and tough.

    • @wholeNwon

      Depends on the volume of liquid: little, they're steamers; more, they are higher temp. boilers.

    You confused me when you mention that the pressure cooker presses the steam / flavor into the food. If the food is beans and the beans are under water, then how does the steam get pressed into the beans and really breck the beans down when one is concerned with lectins ? Would Cooking only beans underwater in a pot give the same results as cooking them in a pressure cooker?

    • @wholeNwon

      Was waiting for someone to mention lectins. Of course, it's heat that's critical in preventing poisoning.

    Regarding pressure cooking the chickpeas (2m20s mark), how long do you soak beforehand, and how long do you (electric) pressure cook for? Do you allow it to release pressure naturally, or do you manually rapid release pressure?
    Also is there a minimum amount of water one should use when pressure cooking?

    • @mikes252
      @mikes252 6 лет назад

      if you want to soak them beforehand its like 4hrs to overnight, they don't really fall apart if you do it that long. for the water basically covering them should be fine, in the process you don't lose a lot of liquid in the process
