PRESSURE COOKING ENTRÉES
Try these suggested entrées and then experiment with entrées of your own. Entrée recipes are cooked at 15 pounds pressure. Always
remember to select foods that cook in the same length of time. Favorite recipes may be adjusted to pressure cooking by following the
general directions for the particular type of food being cooked. Decrease the length of cooking time by two-thirds, since pressure cooking
requires only one-third as much time as ordinary methods of cooking. Decrease the amount of liquid as there is little evaporation from
the canner. Add about 2 cups more liquid than desired in the finished product.
DO NOT FILL CANNER OVER ⅔ FULL!
These recipes are intended for pressure cooking and should not be canned.
