Poultry

A host of great, light meals can evolve from chicken and other poultry when prepared in the pressure cooker. Be it a tender fillet with a delightful, light sauce or a savory casserole with a host of nutritious vegetables, you’ll find the pressure cooker is perfect for preparing your favorites in a hurry.

Try the following recipes and enjoy tasty poultry in a variety of ways or prepare your own favorite poultry dishes. It’s not necessary to brown poultry before pressure cooking, but you may do so if you like. Searing tends to seal in the natural juices, while cooking without browning lets the flavor of the various ingredients intermingle for some spectacular taste combinations. For crispier chicken, you may want to put the chicken under the broiler for a few minutes after pressure cooking.

FOR POULTRY, DO NOT FILL PRESSURE COOKER OVER 2⁄3 FULL!

NO PORTION OF THE POULTRY SHOULD EXTEND ABOVE

THE 2⁄3 FULL MARK (SEE PAGE 5).

Operating the cooker without cooking liquid or

allowing the cooker to boil dry will damage the cooker.
