Corned Beef Brisket and Cabbage Generally speaking, electronic pressure cookers cook foods in about 1/3 the time of conventional cooking methods. When you are using frozen meats in your recipes, the cooking time does not need to be altered. Pressure will not be achieved until the internal temperature in the pot is 40 degrees higher that the boiling point of water. The cooking time will not begin until pressure is achieved, it will just take longer to come to pressure. Always check to make sure your gasket and float valve are clean and in good working order. Fresh or frozen meats are pressure cooked quickly. Custom Search

Use fresh vegtables and herbs for delicious flavorful meals.

Frozen vegetables will also produce excellent results.

Since flavors are more concentrated, reduce amounts of herbs and seasonings when converting conventional recipes. Fresh herbs are better for pressure cooking than dried herbs.

Remember if you are not using the basket while pressure cooking the liquid will flavor what you are cooking. Try using fresh harbs and aromatic vegetables like onions or garlic, wine or stock. The flavor transference will be wonderful.
