The miracle of the pressure cooker

I must admit that for years I was afraid of pressure cookers! My mother religiously back when I was a kid, but I think that "touch" the constant warnings of "Stand Back" and I am terrified to have one. It also does not help that he was constantly shaking, hissing steam and pushed in all directions. After some research online, it seems that I'm not the only one who had a phobia pressure cooker of growth.

That changed about two years ago when I started my ownChef business. I needed to accelerate the process of cooking up some of my favorite dishes. I knew that a pressure cooker, the solution would be so I had to take the plunge and buy my first pressure cooker. I'll do what it does best Alton Brown and explain the mechanics of pressure cookers and types.

Pressure Cooker

Well, I really do not know what I do without my pressure cooker. It's great for last-minute food preparation and allows me to get a meal on the table in under an hour.Cooking rice with traditional method takes 20 minutes but finished with a pot of rice in less than 7. This is good news for impatient cooks like me! I think everyone should learn to cook, how to use because it is a time saver. You can use any type of meat, including the cheaper cuts hard in September and it will soon be ready and will be tender and tasty. The newer models are safe, easy to use and you can pick a good one for less than $ 60.

A few days ago, whileI found shopping for meat food for sale. I thought about all the possibilities for the breast, but settled for breast sandwiches with fresh Italian bread topped with tomato and avocado and served with a light salad made of potatoes. Normally, a brisket of beef would take 3-4 hours to prepare. With my pressure cooker, it took only about an hour.
