Convert Regular Recipes to Pressure Cookers
A pressure cooker is a heating device that traps air to cook food more quickly. Once any liquid starts to boil, it cannot escape and results in pressure. Air pressure can actually increase the temperature of liquid almost 40 degrees Fahrenheit compared to stove-top boiling, resulting in a faster cooking time. Although using a pressure cooker will definitely shave time off your meal preparation, you have to adjust your regular recipes or they will become overcooked. Add this to my Recipe Box.
