hints and tips before pressure cooking & slow cooking

PREPARING MEAT AND POULTRY

Select cuts of meat suitable for pressure cooking by choosing cuts from the table below. Pressure cooking allows less tender cuts of meat to be cooked quickly and achieve a tender juicy result.

Using meat cuts with bones produces a more flavorsome and enriched result.

For best results, always trim away excess visible fat, grizzle and skin. These will form extra liquid as it melts and cooks.

For casserole type recipes, cut meat into even cubes approximately 3–5cm.

PREPARING VEGETABLES

Vegetables should be cut into even-sized pieces to ensure more even cooking.

When preparing vegetables for pressure cooking, always use fresh and not frozen.

If only frozen vegetables are available, thaw out before pressure cooking. Use LOW pressure setting for minimum time.

For better results only peel vegetables when appropriate. Hard vegetables such as beetroot and potatoes hold their shape better when left intact.
