Cooking with Pressure:
NOTE:
Pressure Cookers are great
for cooking large serving sizes
of casseroles, curries and such. If
you want to reduce the serving
quantity however, use half the
ingredients stated, but follow the
same preparation and cooking
steps. Or if quantity is over 1 litre
(for combined food and liquid)
why not place leftovers in an
airtight, freezer safe container
and freeze for another day?
NOTE:
Foods to avoid when
pressure cooking include; pearl
barley and other cereals, root
vegetables on their own, noodles
and pasta, and rhubarb; as these
foods can foam, froth, splatter and
clog the pressure release valve
and lid lock actuator.
NOTE:
Times in recipes are
approximate and can vary
depending on type and
amount of food content and
the level of doneness desired.
