TIPS FOR PRE-PROCESSING FOOD AND COOKING FOOD in a multicooker pressure cooker

▪ Dry vegetables such as peas and beans should be soaked in water for a while before boiling.

▪ Frozen food does not need to be thawed before cooking. When cooking frozen meat or large fish, the cooking time is only slightly longer.

▪ Soups that foam, such as pea soup, must first be boiled with the lid removed so that the foam can be removed and then boiled under pressure.

▪ Dark meat will appear slightly lighter than usual after being cooked in a pressure cooker, as steam will cause slight discoloration. The cooking time in this case depends on the size and quality of the piece of meat.

▪ Thoroughly clean the fish. After cooking, season with salt and sprinkle with a little freshly squeezed lemon juice.

The process of cooking any dish in a pressure cooker is 3-5 times faster than in a conventional saucepan.

Instead of 1.5 hours, meat is cooked in 40 minutes, chicken instead of 45 minutes - 15 minutes.

Frozen food does not require pre-defrosting, the pressure cooker defrosts and cooks at the same time.

Almost all foods can be cooked in the pressure cooker.
The exception is products that generate a lot of foam and splashes during cooking. In this case, there is a high probability that the service valve is clogged. This small group includes:
cereals like pearl barley,
oat flakes,
crushed peas,
pasta - noodles, spaghetti, etc.

It is advisable to cook in a pressure cooker those foods that take a lot of time to cook in an ordinary saucepan, the same foods that are cooked quickly (fish, frozen vegetables) in a pressure cooker can be digested.

Pea soup (whole peas) after the water has boiled for 15 minutes over low heat with frozen meat.

Cooking peas and beans

The instructions for using the pressure cooker sometimes forbid boiling peas and beans in it, because when cooking with insufficient water, the beans foam too much and clog the pressure cooker valve. To avoid clogging the valve, make sure that the water does not more than half fill the pressure cooker; for cooking split grains, you should take at least six, and for whole grains - three times as much water.

Dal should be cooked over moderately low heat. When you cook dahl under pressure, make sure that the pressure cooker is not clogged.
If this happens, turn off the multicooker.
After a few minutes, slowly open the valve, being careful not to scald you with the steam. To reduce foam, you can add a tablespoon of butter to the dal.Bring the dal to readiness without pressure by turning on the heat mode.

Admin, thanks for the great info.
1. Does it only apply to the Cuckoo pressure cookers?
2. If it is suitable for any pressure cookers (the advice to put under water is more suitable for pots of a stove-top type, and not for electric ones), then. Maybe it makes sense to single out a separate general topic about pressure cookers?

Rina72, Thank you

This infa applies to all pressure cookers!
But we have in the topic of Cuckoos, our troubles on the subject of how and how much to cook, so we have to pick up information from other pressure cookers (on-board) and adjust to this one - there are a lot of mistakes, especially for new users

And where else to stick this information you need to say
Rina
It's hard to talk about what and where, when such a reconstruction is going on
When I wrote my questions, there was also a "pressure cooker" section.
I do not know if the themes of the LandLife and UNIT pressure cookers have survived. Someone may now acquire other electric pressure cookers or get ordinary pressure cookers from the mezzanine.

Maybe it makes sense to create a "pressure cooker" topic, where to give general principles, and already in the "named" topics to provide links to general information (good, you have developed an excellent cross-referencing system) and corrected information.

Girls, tell me, please, can you put frozen vegetables in a multicooker or just fresh ones? I just ice it for a week, I have a small child, and it's so convenient, I took it out and go, everything is cleaned and cut!
Omela
Elisssa Sure you may! Cooking time for frozen vegetables is 1 minute.
