So, I get a pressure cooker for Christmas (thank you momma) and my bread stone busts in half. Therefore, I have been cooking not baking. Thanks to the day old sourdough bread at the local market and my freezer...we've had bread. This dandy pressure cooker is incredible. A few favorites so far:
Potatoes:
select saute- add butter, onion, garlic, quartered potatoes. Add lid and select low pressure for 4 minutes or even 3 minutes. Result: golden color, soft as in you don't even have to chew these. They melt in your mouth.
Chicken Breasts:
frozen cook 8 minutes on high pressure with 1/2 cup water added and seasonings on top. Result: tender, juicy, easy to shred. Family loved it.
Pork:
The sauce is what is amazing. For next time, i'm going out for a bottle of the real stuff to replace the cooking wine!
select saute- add 2T. butter, 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped bell pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic
add dried onion soup mix, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 cup red wine, 1 cup water
place the meat right in the sauce. I've used chicken, pork loin, and pork roast. Put lid on, select high pressure for 25 minutes. Boil the sauce with meat in it for about 4 minutes.
This smelled so good, I actually had a few bites of the pork. It tasted great. Family loved it.
Rice:
Everything just turns out better in this. Even rice. I did some sort of pilaf...a fish broth and seasonings, if I remember right.
There are more. Fish...amazing.
Dough is in the fridge for Ciabatta Bread and I need to go get a stone. Ahhhh, I forgot to mention my sis gave me a peel for my birthday.
