Electric Pressure Cooker?
I have had an electric pressure cooker for some time now and haven't used it yet. What I would like is a cookbook specifically for electric cookers; I don't understand all the bring to pressure, wait for jiggle, etc that the regular cookbooks have that have recipes for the older style pressure cookers.
Does such a book exist?
All pressure cookers work on the principle that heat generates steam in a closed cooking environment and that produces pressure. The electric models are basically pressure cookers on training wheels. They have some serious limitations when compared to the wide variety foods, recipes and cooking techniques that can be used with the new, modern stovetop pressure cookers available today, but that's the tradeoff for a digital timer.
Unlike today's modern pressure cooker, there are no standards for the digital controls each manufacturer installs to operate their appliance. Instructions vary widely with all the various makes and models on the market, so it would not be practical -- or profitable -- for a cookbook publisher to give detailed operating instructions one each and every one. So it's up to YOU, as the user, to know how to operate your particular model.
In general, use the BROWN setting for searing and sautéing. Instead of monitoring a pressure regulator (jiggle-top), or a visual pressure indicator on stovetop models, you to need program the cooker for HIGH PRESSURE and then set the timer. If the recipe calls for a quick release, use the corresponding mechanism on your appliance. Natural release means to turn off the heat and wait until the pressure drops on its own. Use the BROWN setting to do any finish cooking after pressure is released and the lid is removed.
You can adapt many regular recipes and standard pressure cooker recipes for use in electric models, but be aware that there are limitations that can affect the outcome. Most importantly, most electric pressure cooker units fall short of the standard 15psi pressure setting. This means you'll need to compensate by increasing the cooking time, but that defeats the whole purpose of pressure cookery. Of course, you can't use the cold water release method, so that eliminates foods like tender-crisp, fresh veggies. The electrics take longer to pressurize and depressurize which can lead to scorching problems. As a result, they tend loose more liquids to venting so you'll need to increase the minimal amount (which is only 1/2 cup for modern stovetops) to make up the difference.
Once you understand your owner's manual and how to use your appliance, you can try recipes for braises, stews, soups and steam roasting, all of which should work well in your electric model with only minor adjustments.
How long should it take for an electric pressure cooker to come to pressure?
We recently bought a Wolfgang Puck electric pressure cooker from HSN. It take about 30 minutes to come to pressure and begin cooking anything. Is this normal?
I have always had a pressure cooker and the answer to ypur question is yes it it normal, It depends how much food & liquid is in it, as an example, if you have a cup of liquid and half of the cooker with food it might get up to pressure in about 15 min,when I make stuffed cabbage full to the top with 4 cups of liquid it takes 30 min to heat up the mass in the pot,remember that the inside has to get to boiling before it can reach pressure. (remember not to block the vent hole in the center of the cap.)
Where can I get an electric pressure cooker in Okinawa Japan?
I'm Japanese and lives in Okinawa. I want to buy an electric pressure cooker, but I don't like the design of those Japanese company produces. I checked Amazon, and found a cuizinart one, but they don't send things overseas.
Try to see also if anyone you know knows American military personnel. They might sell it on base.
