PRESSURE COOKING DESSERTS

Your canner offers a shortened method for preparing steamed breads and desserts. Actually the cooking time can be counted in minutes instead of hours.You will find, too, that your canner is easier to use than the ordinary steamer because its pressure regulator acts as a means of measurement to assure constant heat to produce uniform even-textured products. Consult specific recipes for cooking pressure.

Best results are obtained when 1- to 1½- quart molds are used. Any type of mold is satisfactory (metal, glass, earthenware, tin food cans). Remember, never fill molds over two-thirds full; this extra top-space is to allow ample space for rising. If molds used do not have a cover, aluminum foil or several thicknesses of wax paper should be tied securely over the top to prevent condensed moisture from falling into mold. Because the first part of the cooking period is steaming time, which permits foods to rise, at least three quarts water should be poured into the bottom of canner to allow for evaporation.

Adjust heat to allow a moderate flow of steam from the vent pipe.

DO NOT FILL CANNER OVER TWO-THIRDS FULL!

These recipes are intended for pressure cooking and should not be canned.
