I get irritated when people describe their pressure cooker cooking failures. I wonder why that happens. So, after spending time in a Facebook group and hearing about poor results and “bad food” from using incorrect timing, I decided that offering my pressure cooking timing charts was important.
I cannot figure out why people would only want the charts instead of buying the entire cookbook The New Fast Food: The Veggie Queen Pressure Cooks Whole Food Meals in Less than 30 Minutes but some people do. There are 150 recipes in the book, and 138 of them are gluten-free. All but the risotto dishes and a recipe for white rice rely on whole foods. I use foods typically found in a vegan, plant-based kitchen such as tamari, miso, occasional nutritional yeast but most recipes have standard ingredients.
The timing charts generally work well for both the stove top and electric pressure cookers such as the Instant Pot (for which I offer a $50 off code from their site with vegqueen at checkout), Fagor, Cuisinart or Breville.
(See me using the Instant Pot by clicking here. )
The downloadable charts have cooking times for almost all types of rice, whole grains, many legumes and vegetables. Many people like to print out the charts and have them laminated as a kitchen reference. Or you can print them and slip them into a clear plastic sheet protector which is easier and less costly.
To order the charts, click here. The New Fast Food cookbook is also available as a PDF downloadable ebook, with bookmarks that you can search. Click here to read more about it.
My goal is to have you produce the best tasting food to enhance your life, health and happiness while helping save energy, both your own and that of the planet.
Happy pressure cooking.
Note: I do earn a small commission for recommending the Instant Pot but I would not recommend it if I didn’t use it and truly like it. This is my disclosure. All opinions are (obviously) my own.
