Tips:
• Try placing your veg on the steam rack with
the minimum amount of water required.
Save the remaining liquid after cooking for
stock.
• If your vegetables are still steaming after
being removed from your pressure cooker,
they’re still cooking! If your recipe calls for
vegetables that are al dente, try running
cold water over them in the sink to stop the
cooking process.
• Cut ingredients into uniform sized pieces for
evenly cooked food.
• Use fresh herbs when cooking meat.
Pressure cooking tends to infuse the avour
of all the ingredients you cook together. Put
fresh herbs in the pressure cooker whole,
including the stems.
• When you cook with dried beans, lentils,
rice or other foods that expand and absorb
liquids, don’t ll the pressure cooker more
than half full.
