Adapting Traditional Recipes to Use in the Splendid Pressure Cooker

It is easy to adapt your favorite recipe for use in a pressure cooker. For the most part, soups, stews, braised and slow-roasted meats and poultry, and slow-simmered recipes, such as tomato sauce and fruit preserves provide the best results.

Meats and Poultry: When preparing meats and poultry, brown well in the

pressure cooker pot using at least 2 tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil. Pour off any excess fat and sautè onions, garlic or any other vegetables as called for in the recipe. Add the remaining ingredients and at least a 1/2 cup of cooking liquid such as broth, diluted tomato puree or wine.

Soups: Soups are quick and easy to prepare. Add meat, poultry or seafood to the pressure cooker along with any desired vegetables, herbs and spices. Add liquid ingredients, filling pressure cooker only halfway.

Tomato Sauce and Fruit Preserves: When preparing tomato sauce, sautè minced onion and/or garlic. Add and brown the meats as specified in the recipe. Add the strained or pureed tomatoes, filling the pressure cooker only halfway. Position lid and lock in place. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let pressure drop naturally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To make fruit preserves, place the fruit in the pressure cooker with the desired quantity of sugar. Let sit one hour to release natural juices of fruit. Bring to a boil, uncovered.
