MEAT, FISH & POULTRY
Meat cooked in the pressure cooker will give a succulent and flavoursome result, every time.
For maximum flavour, first brown the meat or poultry (not fish) on all sides in the pressure
cooker using 1 tablespoon of oil on the SAUTÉ function before locking the lid and commencing
pressure-cooking.
Refer to the guide below for MANUAL cook times and use this as a general indication for
adapting recipes that you want to convert for the pressure cooker. Always remember to ‘rest’
meat for at least 10 minutes for it to relax and retain their juices. It is also wise to have a meat
thermometer in your kitchen to test the doneness of your meat (safe internal temperatures for
red meat is 72°C, poultry 75°C and fish 65°C), especially for large cuts of meat. Also, please
note,
it is not recommended to cook meat from frozen.
