The Pressure Cooker Recipe Book


Book Description

Consummate home cook and magazine editor Suzanne Gibbs shows us how to use a pressure cooker to create slow-cooked flavour in a fast-paced world. Pressure cookers allow us to cook quickly, cheaply and efficiently. The food is cooked in liquid at high temperatures, which shortens cooking time by up to 70 per cent. Because the method seals in flavour and nutrition, cheaper ingredients can be used to great effect. Here Suzanne selects more than 80 of her favourite pressure-cooker recipes, and describes the process from beginning to end. Learn how to cook an osso bucco in 25 minutes, a chicken tagine in 15 minutes and a delicious bread and butter pudding in 20 minutes. Packed with information on practicalities, such as choosing, using and cleaning your cooker, and fully illustrated with beautiful photography. The Pressure Cooker Recipe Book is a must-have guide for anyone balancing the constraints of time and money with a desire to create delicious healthy meals for themselves, their friends and their families.




Pressure Cooker Perfection


Book Description

100 foolproof pressure-cooker recipes that will change the way you cook. In Pressure Cooker Perfection, the first volume in our new test kitchen handbook series, the editors at America's Test Kitchen demystify an appliance that to many home cooks remains intimidating -- but shouldn't. Modern pressure cookers are safer, quieter, more reliable, and more user-friendly than old-fashioned jiggle-top models. And they can prepare a wide range of foods -- everything from barbecue to risotto -- in record time. Cooking under pressure results in better-tasting dishes because every drop of flavor is trapped in the sealed pot. This fact, combined with the shorter cooking time, means that your dishes will be supercharged with flavor. And cooking under pressure is versatile. While they're ideal for roasts and stews, pressure cookers can also turn out perfectly tender beans, grains, and legumes in short order. If ever there was a cooking method that could benefit from the obsessive trial and error that our test kitchen is known for, this is it. When cooking time is compressed, every minute matters, and when flavors are amplified, even a small change becomes significant. We ran hundreds of tests in fifteen pressure cookers to find out what works and what doesn't, and we deliver the foolproof, guaranteed-successful recipes in Pressure Cooker Perfection. With this foolproof guide to cooking under pressure, every home cook will be guaranteed success.
