@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes I think that the same! Thank you for this video I'm not so scared of a pressure cooker. Do you think that I can cook in this cooker a white rice?
@@olagerta8199 i do not know about that ASDA presure cooker, I have a German MWF one, which does not recommend to cook rice due to the foam raising up potentially with grain of rice and could block the cooker vents. It;s dangerous as steam would not be able to escape.
THANK YOU for explaining it so well. I am one of those who never learned how to cook growing up so I am learning now and always wanted to try using a pressure cooker but I'm just too afraid to do so... now I am more confident that I can do it safely. Great job!
Very good question, but it's just not being answered, although alot of folks are asking the same question. Will the video author please answer the question for us. Or do a new video and refer it to us. Thanks.
Practical tip: add two centimeters of water before you heat the pot, and add boiling water from the kettle. You can also lower the heat /turn it down by a quarter once steam starts escaping from the valve /and the pressure indicator has popped up. Then start your timing for the cooking process
@@bapalways8565no, but you can turn it down to the point where you can normally just keep water boiling under a lid. On my induction plate is 3 out of 9.
Thanks for this tutorial. My mum gave me a stove pressure cooker which I have been terrified to use! I have the instant Crock pot and the scariest part is when the pressure starts building up, sounding louder and louder then abruptly stops. Just like my heart does in those moments.. 😭
Haha, honestly nothing to worry about as its got a safety valve which won't open unless the pressure inside decreases! So no chance of blowing yourself or your kitchen up, luckily 🤣🤣
I been using mine for decades, absolutely fabulous for fresh veg.. best flavours and yes be careful, I'm here as seal is causing longer cooking times, hence this suggested video.👍💕
I am so glad I came across this video. Have been struggling with cooking with my pressure cooker and getting it wrong all the time. Also I have the same pressure cooker you are using. Thanks for showing and explaining clearly. Can you do a video on how to cook chickpeas/ Mung beans please. I tried but lost the green colour of Mung beans and chickpeas wasn't soft. Do you soak them overnight?
I have been using a pressure cooker for years. My mother had one too. I wouldn't cook potatoes like that because a lot of the nutrients go into the water. I always steam vegetables in a basket inside the pressure cooker, using very little water at the bottom of the pan. The water does not touch the vegetables.
Good. So, for how long when cooking vegetables? Have you cooked with meat before? Do you add any spices when cooking with meat or fish? What about beans? How long? Manual pressure cooker and electric pressure cooker,, please which one do you prefer? I'd be glad to hear from you. Thanks.
Good tutorial! What is also important is that you always polish the lid with a metal polish. If there are fingerprints on the lid and the lid heats up, the fingerprints will burn in and over time the pot will no longer look nice.
My mum cooked everything in a pressure cooker. I was always scared of it. Now that our Government have stitched us up by increasing energy prices on purpose, I can't wait to use one. Thanks for the video. X
Thank you for your comment, and please do subscribe - keep watching and please do share my videos to your friends and families, so I can grow the channel. :) I've got more pressure cooker recipes coming, do keep an eye on the channel.
I love my stove top pressure cooker, but just wanted to add that you can also pressure steam so certain foods are not in the water its self. I have the the Tower stove top cooker (has no handle) and it came with a steamer tray. TY for this video. :)
That’s great. My mum had a pressure cooker years ago that she used - it was built like a battleship. I’ve contemplated buying one before but didn’t know how to operate one and was nervous about blowing myself and kitchen up 😀. After watching your vid, I’m getting one, very simple and safe if you follow the instructions - cheers 👍🏻
You just saved my.life I've just bought one of these and havent a clue how it works. I have the other one with the whistle on top prestige. But how do you k ow its cooked on these new ones
Nicely explained! I just bought this exact same PC and i was a bit lost about where that rubber ring goes...now i realise that they give you a spare one hence there being 2. Duh Great video thank you, huge help!
I bought one of these and decided to make some beef bone broth/stock. Trouble is I have never used a pressure cooker before and couldn't see the small print on the instruction manual so discovered your video, hahahaha thanks.
I still use one of these myself however it might have been nice to see something other than a potato cooked a little bit more complicated perhaps. However I gave the video a thumbs up because it was nice to see somebody still using an old fashioned pressure cooker
I'm bringing my pressure cooker series back, in all fairness I just wanted to demonstrate something simple that takes long to cook, speeded up. And a potato was perfect. Thank you
Hi, thanks for this video introduction. My question is whether you maintained the temperature setting of the hob at 9 for the entire 7 minutes or did you reduce the temperature at some point after the steam pressure was established? BTW I just noticed a comment saying you can reduce the heat by a quarter and then start the timer. How about what you do.? Part of this method is to save energy right?
Thank you for that! Seems like all the pressure cooker videos here are for insta-pots, I have an unused one similar to the one you are using and I want to try corned beef in it as I heard it is the best way to cook corned beef.
I always used at stove top pressure cooker. Then I bought an Instapot. The Instapot has its uses, such as sous vide cooking, yogurt making, slow cooking but it takes AGES to heat up. I use my stove top for vegetables but I don NOT cook them in water, as shown in this video. I put them in a basket on a slightly elevated trivet so that only steam is forced through the vegetables and they are not touching the water.
Thanks for the tutorial, it’s very helpful! One question: in some of the desi YT recipes, the cook instructs to cook for 2 whistles or 3 whistles, which I have not understood as our pressure cooker does not whistle and I don’t know how to translate these whistles into minutes. Please help on this dilemma of cooking with pressure cooker. Thanks in advance.
I would look online to find a chart of suggested times to cook specific foods and just use that timing. All the pressure cookers are slightly different, but most do come with manuals (I have two and one is from eBay, so I don't have a manual for it). But they're all basically the same general techniques.
Thanks, I think ppl in the UK will all be scrabbling about in the back of their cupboards for their pressure cookers now that the power costs have doubled. I know I have. Will be trying chick peas, quinoa and wheatberries in mine to begin with.
Hi. Exactly spot on👌 . It is overwhelming the various instant pots. Electric multi cookers, electric pressure cookers etc. I remember my mother using one of these when I was growing up. (60 yrs) TERRIFIED ME!! Now I need to be brave and get one. Can't afford the electric bill now, never mind when it increases again.
Hi, what is the best way to release the pressure after the cooking because I did the fast pressure release and there were some water all over the place ? Best from France.
Really good video thanks for sharing as I don't have a pressure cooker was wondering of buying one these does help how long would chicken or mutton take to cook in this cooker Again I watch most of your food videos and the recipes are great keep up the good work
Thanks for the video. Please note that adding water to a pan that is extremely hot, will damage the pan. The surface will get permanently warped and will never again make proper contact with you hob. Pans need to be flat to be heated efficiently.
I have cooled down my decades old stainless pressure cooker with water for over 50 years and it is still flat bottom. I think it depends on the quality of the pan.
a good question, not mentioned in the demo. Once it steams up, turn the temp down untill the steam slows down. No steam at all coming out is as bad as too much steam.
Hi! Thank you for the informative video. I just bought mine, but I do not see the red button raising for some reason. The pressure seems to be coming out in all directions with water also dripping from a side, resulting in a burnt bottom layer of the food. Any idea why that me be the case? TIA :)
Question, can I put it on medium heat from start to finish or does it have to be on high heat always? Or should I start it on high heat then turn it down to medium heat thereafter? Which one is economically correct? Thank you.
Hello I have just purchased my first preasure cooker and I want to make vegetable soup and dumplings. But very nervous. Can I just ask please. When you're potatoes we're cooking is the preasure valve open or closed. I'm just confused about how to use the preasure valve. Please could you explain how I should use it while cooking. Thank-you.
Just discovered ur channel from Al’s kitchen cooking one of ur recipes. This was a great video. Always been a bit unsure if pressure cookers but will definitely get one now after seeing ur video. Can you cook rice in one? Thanks
Hi Dean, thanks for your comment 😊. I hope you enjoy my content. Yes absolutely, my follow up video will be a rice based dish. Please be sure to subscribe to the channel and turn that bell notification on so you know when new videos are uploaded 😊
Any thing that increase with scum must be controlled drastically as the volume might make the valve on the lid blocked up. Reduce the fire/flame when pressure becomes evident.. It will surely cook on low flame in safety!
I want to ask something ….when the button ok cooker popped up and it’s time for timer what we need to do ….means we should reduce the heat to minimum or what
Hi there, dal - kidney bean curry for example pre soaked takes approx 25/30 mins to cook from scratch. Moong dal approx 15mins. As far as vegetables are concerned, I've never used it for that as I don't really use it to cook vegetables but potatoes are cooked much quicker than in a normal pot.
She stated in the beginning of the video that it is an Amazon Basics pressure cooker. Amazon Basics Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker - 4 Litre is the full product name. She has a link to it in the video description. Cheers.
Great to see someone using a stove top rather than an instant pot for a change. Recipes using the stove pot will be well appreciated.
Thanks Dennis 😊
@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes I think that the same! Thank you for this video I'm not so scared of a pressure cooker. Do you think that I can cook in this cooker a white rice?
There's at least one Indian cookbook just for Insta-Pot.
@@olagerta8199 i do not know about that ASDA presure cooker, I have a German MWF one, which does not recommend to cook rice due to the foam raising up potentially with grain of rice and could block the cooker vents. It;s dangerous as steam would not be able to escape.

Does the stove setting matter? Should we set the stove to high or do we set first High then Low?
I have the same question. It wasn't addressed in the video. It would be nice if this was answered. 🤔
This is really helpful. Can I ask what temp do you have your hob on and do you leave it on the same temp throughout the 7 mins cooking time?
I'm afraid I cannot remember of the top of my head, but all details are in the video including timings and hob settings. Kindly watch the video
@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes I watched the video and you forgot to mention about turning down the hob.
Do we need to do that?
@@HealthyCarnivoreUK We do have to turn it down abit, yes.
