Pour 11⁄2 cups water into cooker. Position trivet in cooker. Place seafood in steamer basket on trivet. Do not fill cooker over 2⁄3 full. Close cover securely.

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. Before you begin, be sure to thoroughly clean the poultry and pat dry with paper towels. 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.

The recipes in this section may be doubled. Be sure not to fill the pressure cooker over 2⁄3 full (see page 6). When the recipe is increased, the cooking time remains the same.

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 6).

Operating the cooker without cooking liquid oR

allowing the cooker to boil dry will damage the cooker.
