Pressure Cookers - The Basics for Beginners | How To Use A Pressure Cooker

For the love of god the amount of talking is unbearable. Talk less do more.

I have been using a pressure cooker for years. My mother had one too. I wouldn't cook potatoes like that because a lot of the nutrients go into the water. I always steam vegetables in a basket inside the pressure cooker, using very little water at the bottom of the pan. The water does not touch the vegetables.

Where did u buy yr 3 litre pressure cooker from as l need one the same size. Do Tefal make a 3 litre ones. Please respond a.s.a.p. Would appreciate it. Thanks

I always thought that the potatoes and veg etc. were meant to be on a basket above the water level in a pressure cooker? Maybe it is different for this pressure cooker or maybe I am remembering wrongly but I thought pressure cookers were steam cooking not boiling in water.

My grandma used to use these all time bless her and everything she did in them was beautiful!

Thank you

Do you leave burner on high while your cooking? Do you turn burner off after pressure is established ? Im confused 😕

Mam Nicely explain

Can you share the name & size of this pressure cooker

Thanks in advance

Thankyou

Do you always keep at 1? When do you keep at 2? What should be the level of water? If I were to cook Lintel (Dhal) at water number should I keep? Thank you madam

Thanks for this video
Very useful information

Very informative and useful
Thank you

Please don't slide on glass top

Whats the maximum time you can set for pressure cooker??

It takes me 2 hours to cook mutton on the bone on a standard pot. If I was to use a pressure cooker how long will it take me ?

Is it a 4 L or a 3 L? because this company doesn't produce a 3 L!

Thank you!

Practical tip: add two centimeters of water before you heat the pot, and add boiling water from the kettle. You can also lower the heat /turn it down by a quarter once steam starts escaping from the valve /and the pressure indicator has popped up. Then start your timing for the cooking process

Very informative and a simple way of explaining. Thank you.

For me the water is coming out, what am I doing wrong? 😢

I make perfect basmati rice in 7 mins in pressure cooker.1 cup rice, 1cup boiled water. 😋

Pressure cooker demo, i found useful . Thanks
May I know the brand of the pressure cooker please .

Thanks for this information 🎥

Thank you so much for sharing this video. It's very helpful!😊

"steam, heat and pressure". A pressure cooker only cooks in one way, heat. When the water in the cooker heats up and boils it gives off steam, this steam creates pressure in the vessel which then seals it. This allows the temerature in the cooker to rise above 100c - in a normal pan, this doesn't happen as heat is lost via steam which is allowed to escape and the water will boil dry. It is the very high heat (around 120c) in a pressure cooker which allows foods to be cooked quicker. The opposite happens in high altitudes or in aircraft. Here, water boils before it reaches 100c - this is why you never get a cup of decent tea on an aeroplane.

I am still afraid of pressure cooker as when I was a child our pressure cooker exploded.

Very informative. Thank you 🙌🏽

Where we can get info for right timing of cooking for various food, lamb, chicken, curry, soup etc

Would a pressure cooker be better than using a normal saucepan when trying to avoid mould on the walls of the kitchen?

Thank you for that!
Seems like all the pressure cooker videos here are for insta-pots, I have an unused one similar to the one you are using and I want to try corned beef in it as I heard it is the best way to cook corned beef.

Camera position isn’t good

I was just wondering, if you cut your potatos in half or quarters, that the potatos would cook even more quicker?

Can I brown the meat in a pressure cooker before adding water/stock?

Me

The rubber ring is called a gasket

The best tutorial I’ve seen for beginner pressure cooker users. Thank you! Quick question, what’s the difference between the two settings? I know one is for veg and the other for meat, but is there a higher pressure build up for the meat setting?

I prefer the cooker that not let the steam go during cooking. Like WMF.

Yep

Dont the heating affect the rubber part and contaminate the food

Yes this was helpful! Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Please note that adding water to a pan that is extremely hot, will damage the pan. The surface will get permanently warped and will never again make proper contact with you hob. Pans need to be flat to be heated efficiently.

amazing demonstration! this was very helpful thank you.

Great video which guide do u use for rice one or two

talk too much

Increased pressure = increased heat, take water up a mountain and the increased pressure will cause the water to boil.

So do you leave the stove on 9 or turn it down once the pressure has built up?

She has my sister’s hands. The same exact hands with the nails and everything.

How long would you say a stew would take with braising steak? Similar size to this.

thank you

Hi. I'm looking into buying a pressure cooker. I need one that will cook a large chicken or joint of beef. Can anyone advise on what size I would need. There are 5 adults to feed so I imagine it would have to be a large capacity.
