dunie Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Has anyone used a pressure cooker to prep meals? I am thinking about picking up the Electric Power Pressure Cooker from Bed Bath and Beyond tonight. I am only on day 2 and can see this as being beneficial. The idea of having fully cooked chicken or roast in less than 30 minutes is VERY appealing. Thoughts? Ideas? Recipes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldehiker Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I have both the old fashioned kind and the electric. The electric one is the bomb! Plug and forget Awesome! You'll like it. When You throw in your chicken, throw in some celery, carrots and onions too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole30 Certified Coach littleg Posted August 26, 2015 Whole30 Certified Coach Share Posted August 26, 2015 You must buy an Instant Pot (well, not really, but it would be nice ). I've got lots of kitchen gadgets but I love my IP. Then you can make these (or W30 variations on them). The Korean Beef is a 1-2 times a week dish in my house.

Rebe_J Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I use my Instant Pot so much, I'm tempted to buy a second one. In addition to Tom Denham's website, check out NomNomPaleo. She has several recipes that are (or have been modified) for the Pressure Cooker. Every week I "steam-bake" several potatoes (for husband) and sweet potatoes (for me). At meal time, it's quick to "finish" them as baked, fried, etc. Meat like pulled pork or pot roast comes out fork-tender after 30 minutes, as opposed to several hours in a slow cooker. Boiled eggs, kale, bone broth, applesauce are also regulars in my PC. I get a lot more done during my weekly cook-up now. A big plus IMO: food tastes better when cooked in a PC than in a slow cooker--much more flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to make a pot roast tonight - do you have a favorite recipe or ingredients? I was thinking it would take at least and hour to 1 1/2 hours to get fork tender.....I love that it is 30 minutes!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebe_J Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 dunie, Sorry I'm slow to reply... http://nomnompaleo.com/post/115686948218/pressure-cooker-mocha-rubbed-pot-roast http://nomnompaleo.com/post/111934821818/pressure-cooker-kalua-pig http://nomnompaleo.com/post/76137606724/pressure-cooker-mexican-beef These are our favorites at our house. I make at least one of them every week. Cooking time under pressure is 30 minutes. It takes 10 or more minutes to achieve high pressure, depending on volume, temperature, etc. You'll love your "fast cooker" ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruddock Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I have a 5 in 1 pressure cooker and I love it so far. It pressure cooks, slow cooks, browns, warms & steams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch55 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I love my Wolfgang Puck pressure oven, but it takes up 3 times the space of a pressure cooker... I'll have to look into one, but unless I can snag one on the slick deals website, I can't justify having both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
