About Pressure Cooking Using Your Pressure Cooker Pressure cooking is an ideal way to make fast, tasty meals for your family! This method of cooking makes it easy for even the busiest cooks to prepare meals from scratch. Use your pressure cooker for fish, chicken, fresh vegetables, rice, legumes, and even dessert -- and everything can be cooked to perfection in minutes. 1 Gather all ingredients and be familiar with your recipe. Pour required amount of liquid into pressure cooker, then add food.
Helpful Hints Helpful Hints (cont.) • Read this manual thoroughly and follow all recommendations. • • Start timing once pressure is reached. Immediately reduce heat to just maintain that pressure. For faster cooking times on rice or vegetables, bring the liquid to a boil before adding the ingredients. Then secure lid and lower temperature. • When you are using frozen meats in your recipes, the cooking time does not need to be altered.
