How Do You Cook In A Pressure Cooker Recipes - Yahoo Recipe Search
Food.comLet me just say that I LOVE my 8 quart oval electric pressure cooker, and I use it almost exclusively for making stock. and cheesecake. (That's another recipe for another time...) It is so easy and cost effective, not to mention better tasting and better for you - I can't imagine going back to canned broth! I started by following Lorna Sass's recipe to the letter - until I realized that you can't really make a "mistake" making stock. I got tired of throwing away scraps every day, and tired of buying fresh veggies just for stock. I have included step-by-step photos to show how little waste there really is. Basically, over time, I put all of my veggie scraps into a gallon zipper freezer bag - onions (with skins), carrot peels and tops, celery leaves and ends, and garlic peels and ends, and parsley stems. I've tried adding veggies like mushrooms, but this yielded too strong a flavor, so I quickly went back to the basics. When the bag is full, I make stock. Usually, the timing is good - by the time the bag is full, I'm almost out of stock anyway. If I've used bone-in chicken in the meantime, I'll save those scraps, too, in a separate bag. When the time comes, if I feel the ratio of veggies is off, I'll add a little more of one or the other - usually, I add some extra celery leaves, as I don't use as much celery as I do carrots and onions, for example. But whatever - like I said, you really can't mess this up. Because I'm using an 8-quart cooker, and filling it to the max, I get a LOT of stock! Plus, by starting with a whole roasting chicken, I can usually harvest about 4 cups of cooked chicken meat to use in other recipes as well. Considering I can get a roaster for 75 cents a pound, and everything else is scraps, that's quite a bargain!!YummlyThis Instant Pot recipe for tender pork butt comes from Daniel Shumski, author of the cookbook "[How to Instant Pot: Mastering All the Functions of the One Pot That Will Change the Way You Cook](https://www.howtoinstantpot.com/)." In this easy pork recipe, you'll take advantage of store-bought sauce and, of course, the electric pressure cooker to get your main course prepared in 10 minutes flat (hello, weeknight meal!). Using an electric pressure cooker helps bring the cook time for the pork shoulder down to 45 minutes — a far cry from the usual 3-4 hour cooking time of your average pulled pork recipe. This simple pressure cooker recipe is a great starter recipe for first-time Instant Pot users, as it requires minimal prep and leaves you plenty of room to make the recipe your own: choose a gluten-free sauce (check that it contains tamari instead of soy sauce), swap out the chives for green onions, serve mixed with Chinese vegetables sauteed in sesame oil for a low-carb meal, stir pork chunks into soup, or spoon over brown rice for a hearty rice bowl ... use your imagination to customize it to your own tastes and dietary needs. The recipe is a Yummly original created by [Daniel Shumski](https://www.yummly.com/dish/author/Daniel-Shumski). **Cooking Tip:** After the pork is done cooking, place any extra cooking liquid left in the pot in the refrigerator overnight. Remove and discard the fat that solidifies atop the cooking liquid and use the remaining liquid as a broth for serving udon noodles or to season a stove top stir-fry. (It's particularly good for adding a punch of umami to vegetable and tofu stir-fries.) The liquid can be placed in a zip-top bag and frozen for up to three months.YummlyIf you've never tried it, beef tongue will be a revelation to you.

It has no bones or connective tissue to trim, so it requires very little prep time. You just slip it into the pot with enough water to cover along with onions, garlic cloves, and bay leaves and let it simmer on the stove top for several hours, but in this beef tongue recipe, a pressure cooker cuts the cooking time down dramatically, so you can even make it on a busy week night. ## How To Tell When Beef Tongue Is Done It's very important that beef tongue be cooked completely through so that the meat is tender. When you think it's finished cooking, take a look at it. The skin will be light colored and the tongue will have curled a bit. Take a skewer and pierce the tongue completely through at the thickest part. The skewer should pass easily through the meat, with no resistance. If the center still feels a little tough, the beef tongue needs a little more cooking time. ## Salsa Verde: Mexico's Delicious Green Sauce In this recipe, beef tongue is paired with salsa verde, a green sauce. It's a classic combination. Salsa verde is a zesty sauce with a base of tomatillos. They're an important ingredient in the Mexican kitchen and have an identity that's completely their own. Also called "husk tomatoes" because are covered with a paper-like husk, they are green when ripe. They have a lively acidity that makes them terrific in salsas, both raw and cooked. For this green sauce, the tomatillos are cooked until slightly softened. Garlic, onion, and a serrano chili add fragrance, flavor, and heat. Some fresh coriander, blanched and added at the end, gives the sauce a fresh taste and a hit of bright green color. This tangy, slightly spicy sauce is a perfect counterpoint to the rich beef tongue. ## Get started Try something adventurous tonight by making this recipe for Beef Tongue in Green Sauce.
