When timing in the pressure cooker, you do not need to adjust the time when doubling or tripling a recipe. The pressure cooker does that automatically.
Make Food, Not Bombs: Using a Pressure Cooker the Right Way
I hate tragedy.Ā It brings out the worst in me. I get melancholy and morose, go inward and want to hide. And this time is no different except that the people responsibleĀ for the bombings in Boston not only attacked other human beings who were out running for their health and life, but have now put a crimp in what I do: teach people how
Pressure Cooker Curried Winter Pear and Squash Soup
I have been making this soup for a very long time. I used to make it without the pressure cooker, which is easy to do. When I did that, I would roast or bake the squash first and then scoop it out into the soup. With the pressure cooker, I can just cut the squash up and add it to the soup. Either way, it’s
You and Your Pressure Cooker: It’s a Relationship
Fellow Registered Dietitian, Dina Aronson, MS, RD, saw me this past summer at Vegetarian Summerfest in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. She walked up and said (and I am paraphrasing here), “I want to thank you for encouraging me to get a pressure cooker. It took me a little while to develop a relationship with it but now things are great. It has really changed my life.” I
Using Your Pressure Cooker for Slow Cooker Recipes
Kathy Hester, author of The Vegan Slow Cooker cookbook, gave me a chance to write about using the pressure cooker for some of her slow cooker recipes. Not one to turn down a challenge, I went for it. It turns out that you can easily use slow cooker recipes in your pressure cooker with some adjustments. As long as the recipe uses liquid, the pressure
Pressure For Meals
Some bloggers concoct recipes because they have a keen desire to publish and photograph them. I have a keen desire to eat — at least 3 meals and a number of snacks a day. Since this is a blog about pressure cooking, I am not going to mention any raw food that I eat, but I do that, too. Today, I did a take off
My First Date with the Fagor Chef Pressure Cooker
Those of you who know me and my cookbook The New Fast Food: The Veggie Queen Pressure Cooks Whole Food Meals in Less than 30 Minutes know that on page 12, I discuss my boyfriends: they are my pressure cookers. I show a photo of The Fagor Chef even though this particular pressure cooker just entered the world a short time ago (mid-May 2012). The
Pressure Cooking Steel Cut Oats in Just 3 Minutes
Over at Pinch My Salt people are going ga ga over steel cut oats. And they have to cook them for at least 25 minutes. I, too, like steel cut oats and in fact Alex of the Facebook group Lorna Sass is my homegirl reviewed my DVD and saw that I have a recipe for a cooked cereal. He asked about cooking steel cut oats.
Pressure Cooker Excitement or Fear? You Choose…
Pressure Cooker Friend or Foe? I just told the proprietor of a cooking store that if I had one dollar for each person who told me that they are afraid of the pressure cooker, that I would likely be retired and sitting on the beach somewhere. Even after teaching pressureĀ cooking for more than 15 years, I stillĀ have a tough time convincing some people
Pressure Cooker Brown Rice and Lentils
I recently spoke to a group of vegans, vegetarians and those who want to eat more vegetarian food at Osmosis Day Spa and Sanctuary. I had a great time and got such wonderful questions. One of them was, “Why should I cook my rice (or maybe anything else) in a pressure cooker when I already know how to cook it on the stove top and
