Dishes in a slow cooker. The most complete guide to pressure cookers: what and how to cook in them

Of course, at the beginning of the last century, Escoffier did not use a pressure cooker, but it is safe to say that today he would cook his broths in it.

Part 1.
Principle of operation and types.

A pressure cooker is an amazing working tool for any cook. The traditionally long and laborious cooking process is reduced by several times - a pressure cooker takes much less time to reveal the magical aromas and transform the textures of food than a conventional saucepan. Risotto takes 7 minutes instead of 25, strong chicken broth takes 90 minutes instead of 2-3 hours. Canning jars, baking bags or vacuum bags (those designed for high temperatures) can be placed in the pressure cooker - polenta no longer needs to be constantly stirred so that it does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan. And the high temperature inside the pressure cooker helps it caramelize and brown to a golden brown, a reaction that adds subtle flavors to your dish that can't be achieved in a humid environment like stewing. If you are still not a fan of the pressure cooker, try our Caramelized Carrot Soup (recipe attached).

A pressure cooker is essentially just a pot with a hermetically sealed lid and a valve to control internal pressure. The principle of its operation is that the lid does not release steam, which, as it forms, increases the pressure inside the pan. An increase in pressure gives an increase in the boiling point of water, which is usually limited to 100 C (at sea level, since in higher places the boiling point is slightly lower due to lower atmospheric pressure). And since the useful temperature in the pressure cooker is higher, about 120 C, the cooking time is significantly reduced.

Fast, and therefore energy-saving cooking is, of course, wonderful, but what really makes a difference is the quality of the dishes prepared. During ordinary cooking, the wonderful smells that hover around the kitchen warm the heart, but at the same time, the fundamental components of taste disappear into the air without a trace. The airtight environment inside the pressure cooker retains most of these quickly evaporating flavors. The finished dish retains the fullest range of flavors as the evaporating elements condense on the lid and then flow back down into the pan.

Too many people avoid pressure cookers simply because they are too lazy to follow safety rules. Relax, in modern pressure cooker technology, safety comes first. We recommend using pressure cookers with an integrated spring valve, such as those from Kuhn Rikon or Fagor, or pressure cookers with a sliding valve. Electric pressure cookers are even simpler - you just need to set the time, she does the rest herself. Older models of pressure cookers or autoclaves (home canning appliances) can also be used, but they will definitely be louder and not retain the flavors as well.
Consumer grade pressure cookers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 4 to 10 liters. Choose a three-layer stainless steel pressure cooker (aluminum with a stainless steel layer) - this is guaranteed to save you from burns. Also make sure that the pressure cooker has an indicator that indicates the level of absolute internal pressure. As a rule, recipes indicate a pressure equal to 1 bar (or 1 technical atmosphere) or 15 psi - (pounds per square inch).

BUYER'S GUIDE.

Pressure cooker with spring valve.
Pressure cookers with a built-in spring valve are best suited for making broths and sauces. The valve hermetically seals the pan, which makes it possible to retain all the volatile flavors before they evaporate into the air. Fagor pressure cookers deliberately release a little steam when the internal pressure needs to be adjusted, but they still lose much less flavor than open pots.
When the internal pressure reaches 1 bar, the indicator shows 1 red bar.

Price: $80 for Fagor and $200 for Kuhn Rikon

Electric pressure cooker.
Nothing could be easier to use than an electric pressure cooker: Plug it in, press the button and set the timer. The only downside is that the food cannot be brought to readiness on the stove, and you will have to find a separate place in the kitchen for this unit - after all, in fact, this device has only one function.

Pressure cookers with a movable valve.
Our grandmothers also used such pressure cookers: a rattling, steaming machine, whose behavior is not so easy to determine the level of pressure. In addition, it is not so safe in comparison with its modern counterparts. But if used strictly according to the factory instructions, pressure cookers with a movable valve are quite safe and cope with the tasks.

Autoclave.
This hefty unit is the closest relative of the pressure cooker and it is intended for conservation. It can also be used for cooking, but then you will have to deal with countless clips on the lid, which is not very convenient to use. Also, autoclaves are usually made of aluminum, and therefore the food burns in them. It is customary to bleed the autoclave before canning, but do not try to do this before cooking in it - again, delicious aromas will be lost. Autoclaves often have a movable valve, but it does not always work.

Part 2. HOW IT WORKS.

So, why is a pressure cooker so good? Yes, because when the pressure in it reaches the set value of 1 bar, it heats up very much inside - up to 121C. Whether you are cooking broth, simmering goulash or simply boiling beans, the temperature of these water-containing dishes, as a rule, will not be able to exceed the boiling point of water - 100 C, and then the water will boil away, which is also undesirable for the cooking process. But in order to quickly extract important taste-forming reactions from products or quickly destroy the cell membranes of plant products, such a temperature is simply not enough. Increasing the pressure helps overcome this difficulty.

Pressurized steam quickly transfers heat to the surface of foods that are not immersed in the liquid.
The lid closes with a pin that tightens the walls of the pan. Frequent overloads can ruin the mechanism, and the pressure cooker will become useless. There are pressure cookers where bolts are used that clamp the walls from the outside.

In mountainous areas, atmospheric pressure is lower, respectively, and water boils at a lower temperature. In Denver (rise 1.6 km above sea level) water boils at 95 C, in Chamonix (France; rise 1 km) it boils at 97 C, in the city of Cusco (Peru; rise 3.4 km) - at 89 C. At a similar height in both pressure cookers and open pans, cooking takes longer, but even at the top of the pressure cooker it is still more efficient.

The handle also has a lock to keep the lid from opening while the contents are under pressure.
Add enough water to the pot, around the food or under the food insert, to create a lot of steam.

The spring valve is initially open to allow air to escape. As the contents begin to heat up, the increasing vapor pushes the valve up and closes it (if overpressure, it rises even higher and reopens to release excess steam). The valve regulates the pressure inside the pressure cooker according to the given indicators: usually it is 0.7 or 1 bar (10 or 15 atmospheres), this value is called absolute pressure. At this pressure, water boils at 114 C or 121 C. Once the pressure cooker reaches the set pressure level, turn down the heat to avoid overloading.

Sealing ring. As a rule, this is a dense rubber gasket that does not allow the resulting steam and air to escape from the pan. As the temperature rises inside, the steam pressure increases - it is this process that increases the pressure. Any food particles stuck in the pad can cause a leak, so wash thoroughly and carefully check the gum for cleanliness before each use.

There is too much liquid in this pressure cooker. In a word, the pan should be filled no more than two-thirds.
The water becomes steam, increasing the pressure inside the pressure cooker as it heats up. The boiling point also rises, since it is directly related to pressure, and just enough to keep the water and steam at their boiling point so that the pressure can rise in turn. The pressure continues to rise until the relief valve opens.

Spoiler: They are much more functional than you think.

Part 3. COOKING IN THE PRESSURE COOKER

Cooks who are just starting out with pressure cookers often cook at too high temperatures, which leads to overloading the unit. It is very important to understand that excess pressure inside the pot does not increase the temperature, but only provokes the emergency valve to release steam, causing the water inside the pan to boil. Constant overloads can ruin both the sides and the sealing gum on the lid. Read the manufacturer's manual to know exactly when the pressure cooker is at absolute pressure, when it is overloaded, or when it is depressurized.

1. Prepare the ingredients. If you want to brown onions or any other spices before cooking them in a pressure cooker, save the extra frying pan, you can fry them right in the pan, and only then close the lid.
2. Add all ingredients, stir, and close the lid. It is imperative to mix - liquid or fat evenly distributed throughout the pan will help to avoid burning. Remember that once you close the lid, you will no longer be able to stir the dish.
3. Heat a saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Watch and listen - the pressure cooker will beep when it reaches the absolute pressure level, and then lower the heat to low. Raise the heat to maintain absolute pressure in the pressure cooker.
4. The timing can start when the pressure inside the pressure cooker reaches the level specified in the recipe. If your pressure cooker has a spring valve, it should pop up to the red line, not higher. The pressure cooker should not hiss loudly. If you have a pressure cooker with a moving valve, it should move 3-5 times per minute, it should not shake continuously and furiously.
Most pressure cookers with a spring valve have 2 lines drawn to indicate the pressure - low and high. We recommend cooking at an absolute pressure of 1 bar or 15 psi.
A jet of steam from a valve that pops out means that the pressure cooker is overloaded and the valve releases excess pressure for safety reasons. Overloading can dent the sides that hold the lid tightly and press it against the pot, and if they don't close tightly, the pressure cooker will be of little use.
5. After cooking, remove the pressure cooker from the heat and cool it down. You can simply leave the pot alone for a few minutes if the dish allows (for example, broth). And for dishes that are more sensitive in terms of cooking time (for example, risotto), run a stream of cool water (26-36C) along the edge of the lid - this way the pan will depressurize faster (be careful not to let water get inside the valve). Some pressure cookers have a quick pressure release button or wheel, make sure you read the instructions and know how to use this feature safely. Never try to open a pressure pot. The dish will instantly lose its flavors, not to mention that all the contents will be splashed all over the kitchen.
6. Place the pot in the sink and open the lid. If the lid doesn't budge, don't strain - let it cool a little more until it opens with less resistance.
7. If the dish is not ready, simply put the pan on the stove and complete the process without closing the lid. Alternatively, close the lid, bring the pot back to absolute pressure, and continue cooking.

SAFETY REGULATIONS
Be sure to read and follow the factory instructions for using your pressure cookers.
Opening the lid of the pressure cooker before it cools down will cause the boiling water to splatter all over the kitchen or even you. Before opening the pressure cooker, use the quick pressure release button, or cool the pressure cooker under running tap water, or simply let it stand. The pressure valve will lower when the pan is completely depressurized.
Before you start cooking, check the rubber seal on the lid to see if it's dry or cracked. These gaskets do not last forever - change them according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Also make sure the lid rim and gasket are clean. Any food particles stuck there can break the seal.
Don't fill the pot more than two-thirds full. For legumes and grains, which tend to expand in volume, fill the pressure cooker only half way.
Avoid cooking foamy foods (such as oatmeal or pasta). Foam can block the valve and prevent pressure from being released at the right time.
Open the lid away from you so that you are not scalded by the hot air from the pressure cooker.
Use canning tongs to handle hot jars and be sure to let the contents cool slightly before opening them.

AUTOCLAVE (HOME PRESERVATION)
Several of the recipes in this book reflect the benefits of cooking in glass jars. We use them to prepare ingredients that require intense constant stirring like polenta, to make small batches of lard, for confit garlic, or to extract flavors. Always leave at least 1.3 cm to the lid when filling the jar. Also, jars should not touch the bottom of the pressure cooker: place them on a metal grill or on a hot stand, or in extreme cases on crumpled aluminum foil. Pour enough water to cover the grate and allow the pressure cooker to create steam. Once the jars are completely screwed on, loosen the lids a quarter of a turn, otherwise the pressure may break the glass or rip off the lid during cooking. Be sure to check the glass for cracks after using the jar in the pressure cooker.


CARAMELIZED CARROT SOUP
Quantity: 6 servings (1.3 kg)
Time: 40 minutes (20 minutes prep and 20 minutes self brew)
Difficulty: Medium
Special Requirements: Pressure Cooker, Ghee Carrot Butter (optional, recipe page 121)
The quality of this soup depends entirely on the quality of the carrots, so try to find the best one. Calcium-rich carrot stems can add a bit of bitterness and ruin the texture of a creamy soup, so it's best to get rid of them right away. But it's up to you, one way or another, you can try to cook soup with or without rods and compare. Serve the soup with a dollop of coconut cream and a sprig of tarragon to bring out the inherent sweetness of carrots. You can also use fresh coconut flakes and cumin seeds.
Ingredients:
500 gr peeled carrots
113 g unsalted butter
30 grams of water
5 gr salt
2.5 gr soda
635 gr freshly squeezed carrot juice
40 gr melted carrot butter
Salt to taste
1. Cut all carrots lengthwise into quarters and cut out a coarse fibrous core. Then cut into pieces of 5 cm.
2. Melt the butter in a pressure cooker (to keep the carrots from sticking to the bottom).
3. Dissolve salt and soda in water. Add this mixture and the chopped carrots to the melted butter and stir well.
4. Cook at absolute pressure (1 bar) for 20 minutes. Start counting the time only when the pressure cooker reaches the specified pressure level. To prevent anything from burning inside, you can shake the pan slightly. After 20 minutes, the carrots will be completely caramelized.
5. Cool the pressure cooker under running cool water.
6. Puree cooked carrots well in a blender.
7. Pass the puree through the shinoa.
8. Boil the carrot juice in a separate container. Strain through a fine sieve.
9. Mix juice with carrot puree and bring to a boil. Add water, if needed, to bring the soup to the right consistency.
10. Stir chilled carrot oil into soup. You must use an immersion blender - this is very important to give the soup a velvety texture.
11. Add salt to taste and serve warm.

For fast cooking under high pressure and therefore higher cooking temperature than in a conventional saucepan. Products in it retain their natural color and taste.

A pressure cooker can become your assistant in the kitchen if you value your time and care about proper nutrition.

Benefits of pressure cookers

Cooking in a pressure cooker is about 3-4 times faster than in a conventional saucepan, which reduces the time spent at the stove.

When cooking food in a pressure cooker, vitamins are retained better than in food cooked in ordinary pans.

You can cook dishes for a couple, for this a special grill or basket is included in the kit. The pressure cooker allows you to cook frozen product, without defrosting it first. You can also use the pressure cooker like a regular saucepan, just by replacing the lid with a glass one.

Do's and Don'ts of Cooking in a Pressure Cooker

The list of products that can be cooked in a pressure cooker is quite large - in fact, it all depends on your imagination. It is not recommended to cook only those products that, when cooked, can clog the operating valve inside the pan.

What not to do with a pressure cooker:

  • Put the pressure cooker on fire without water.
  • Fill more than 2/3 of the pot.
  • Immerse the pressure cooker lid in water and wash it in the dishwasher.

Safety of modern pressure cookers

Modern pressure cookers have several levels of safety, so various troubles can be ruled out. All pressure cookers have an outlet valve that regulates the pressure. At the end of cooking, you can quickly or slowly, depending on the need, lower the pressure to the desired level in order to open the lid.

Electric pressure cookers give you even more free time. You can pre-program the time and duration of cooking, as well as the time to keep the temperature of the finished dish. There are various modes: "porridge", "meat" , "soup", "rice", "potato". Also, some models of electric pressure cookers have a baking function.

We can say that meat is given to man by nature itself, since the amino acid composition of meat proteins and proteins of the human body are very close. With the help of amino acids, the body produces tissues, hormones, enzymes and many other useful substances. In addition, meat is rich in zinc and protein, which gives the body strength and energy.

Cooking meat dishes in a slow cooker-pressure cooker allows not only to preserve everything valuable in meat (B vitamins, zinc, phosphorus, iron and proteins), but also to reduce the content of cholesterol and purine bases in it. We can say that this miracle unit cooks the most healthy meat. In addition, for cooking meat in a multi-cooker-pressure cooker, you do not need to use additional ingredients that change their chemical composition during cooking and become more or less harmful to the body (for example, oil or fat).

Anyone who at least once in their life tried to cook meat in a large piece in a slow cooker-pressure cooker appreciated all the advantages of this modern kitchen appliance over a conventional pan. It not only does not lose extractive substances during cooking, which means it retains its bright natural taste and rich aroma, but also remains juicy. In addition, it retains all its nutritional properties. In the same way, you can cook portioned semi-finished products from pork and veal, for example, natural steam cutlets, as well as chopped mass products.

A multi-cooker-pressure cooker significantly shortens the cooking time of meat and, accordingly, your stay in the kitchen. Basic cooking time 10-25 minutes, additional time 5-15 minutes. Meat dishes are prepared mainly in two modes: "Frying" and "Stewing". Less often "Varka". The "Extinguishing" mode allows you to make soft, melting in your mouth any, even the toughest piece of meat. Boiled meat is intended for lovers of unleavened dishes, stewed meat will please with its juiciness, and fried meat will have a unique, excellent taste. Whatever you cook, the result will please you in any case.

For dietary, medical, baby food, the steam mode "Steam" is perfect: it can be used to cook, for example, steam cutlets. It is better to learn new recipes from simple to complex. Start with cutlets and baked meats, then you can experiment with roast and stew recipes, then you can move on to more complex, sophisticated recipes.

There are no special secrets for cooking meat in a slow cooker-pressure cooker. To improve the taste of meat, you can follow the following recommendations.

To make the meat more juicy, as well as to improve its aroma and taste, the meat is marinated, stuffed and breaded. For example, roast beef with chopped nuts. A large piece of beef is well stuffed with strips of bacon.

Lamb can be smeared with a paste of herbs, mustard, spices, garlic, anchovies, or a mixture of Dijon mustard, fresh herbs, breadcrumbs. Particularly tender parts can be cooked by wrapping them in pork gizzard. It protects the meat from burning and makes it juicier. For better shape preservation, meat, and not only stuffed meat, is sometimes tied with twine.

In a multicooker-pressure cooker, you can cook and marinate meat at the same time. The trick is to use a well-seasoned, flavored liquid rather than plain water. To improve the taste of meat, water can be replaced with juices, wine or seasoned with various spices. For example, beef can be cooked in a mixture of beer (or ale) and water. For pork, a mixture of water with apple juice or cider is suitable.

INTRODUCTION

Every housewife who has a pressure cooker has already appreciated its undoubted advantages over a conventional pan. Food in a pressure cooker cooks much faster. Potatoes are cooked for 5-8 minutes instead of 20-30 minutes in a conventional saucepan, peas for 10-15 minutes instead of 60-90 minutes, meat for 25-30 minutes instead of 60-80 minutes. In a pressure cooker, you can boil, stew and steam food. In such food, vitamins, taste, aroma and even color of products are better preserved.

But every housewife who has bought a pressure cooker faces certain difficulties at first due to the fact that she does not have a special prescription manual that allows her to start cooking for sure without resorting to experimentation. We hope that the collection of our recipes will help at first those who have not yet fully mastered the methods of cooking in a pressure cooker. Before you get acquainted with the proposed recipes, remember the following:

  • Our recipes are based on four servings.
  • The time is counted from the beginning of hissing, from the same moment, reduce the fire.
  • The liquid should not exceed 2/3 of the volume of the pressure cooker.
  • If you want to cook a certain number of bowls of soup, pour the appropriate amount of water into the pressure cooker (evaporation is almost zero).
  • If you are cooking foods that tend to swell (rice, beans, etc.), pour water into the pan up to 1/2.

Themed Products:

The name of the pressure cooker eloquently speaks for itself - the dishes in it are prepared much faster. The secret of such quick cooking is the high boiling point. Thanks to the airtight lid, steam creates a strong pressure that raises the temperature, and the latter, in turn, contributes to the rapid softening of the cooked products. So, what can be cooked in a pressure cooker and what can not? Consider below.

Unlike other cooking methods, quick cooking has several advantages:

  • The cooking time is reduced several times (for example, peas, which are cooked for at least an hour, in a pressure cooker reach readiness in 10-20 minutes).
  • In the process of cooking soups, meat and other dishes, the need for adding water is reduced to zero, since it does not evaporate. And this greatly facilitates the work of the hostess.
  • Vegetables and fruits retain not only their nutrients, but also their natural color.
  • Meat from a pressure cooker has a more delicate taste and softness.
  • The smell of strong-smelling products (for example, fish) is almost completely neutralized.

And most importantly, dishes from a pressure cooker, especially those that are steamed, are considered most useful. Therefore, if you follow a healthy diet, a pressure cooker in your kitchen is a must.

What foods can be cooked + temporary table

You can cook anything in a pressure cooker. More precisely, almost everything. The list of "forbidden" foods includes those whose cooking is accompanied by a large amount of foam and splashes - this can clog the valve from the inside. These include pearl barley, oatmeal, semolina, millet, crushed peas, noodles, spaghetti, compotes. However, in this case, the pressure cooker can also be used, namely, to use it as a standard pan.

What can be cooked in a pressure cooker with a light conscience? Soups, vegetables, rice, cereals, meat, fish, desserts and side dishes. And if specifically according to recipes, then quick pilaf, cabbage rolls, roast, spaghetti, aspic, stewed cabbage, vegetable stew, borscht, pies and puddings.

Cooking secrets

To make dishes from a pressure cooker of the highest rank, you need to know some technical secrets:

  • Since the water in the pressure cooker practically does not evaporate, you need to add as much liquid to the soup as you expect to see in the finished recipe. If it is porridge, then the water in it should be almost two times less than when cooking in the usual way.
  • The water in the appliance should occupy no more than 2/3 of its volume, and if these are products that swell strongly during cooking, then no more than half at all.
  • A complex dish will succeed with a bang if all its ingredients are cooked in equal time. There is a little trick here: this is the size of the slicing of products, which can be used to equalize their cooking time.
  • The heating of the pressure cooker should be stopped if the steam from its valve stops flowing. This means that there is no water left in the pan. In this case, the dish can be brought to readiness by means of the residual heat of the appliance and stove.

Many foods can be cooked without oil and water - in own juice. This will greatly increase their useful properties.

How to cook

It is advisable to put food in a pressure cooker simultaneously, but if there is a need for their report, first remove the device from the stove, release steam through the valve or pour cold water over the pan, and only then open the lid.

Frozen foods, whether vegetables, meat or fish, can be cooked without defrosting first. But at the same time, they need to be washed, cleaned, gutted, etc. in advance, that is, even before freezing.

To steam dishes, stock up on a special basket or insert that is placed on the pan. The peculiarity of steam cooking in a pressure cooker is that it is not necessary to grind the meat - large pieces are acceptable, and vegetables can be put whole at all.

Spices and other flavor enhancers can be added to dishes immediately and in much smaller quantities than with traditional cooking. The hermetically sealed lid of the pressure cooker contributes to their rapid absorption, in addition, the own aroma of the products comes into force, which remains almost unchanged.

At the end of cooking, you should immediately release steam, otherwise your dishes may become too soft.

The thing is that even after removing the pan from the heat, the cooking process will continue - until the device cools down. Many of the latest pressure cookers are equipped with pressure regulator, which can be fixed in slow or hard compression mode. Or, as an option, just put the pan under cold water - so your dishes will definitely not overcook.

Cooking in a pressure cooker does not require super skills and an outstanding culinary past. All you need to do is put food in the pan and cover it with a lid. The pressure cooker will do the rest for you.
