This process also helps to gently break down the fibers in tougher cuts that typically take hours of cooking, making even the least expensive cuts buttery soft and fork-tender. The combination of heat and pressure infuse meats with aromas that roasting could never do. Unlike the slow-cooker, a pressure cooker doesn’t let a smidge of tenderness or flavor escape.
We’ve taken a number of our favorite dishes – ones that we used to cook in the oven, on the stove or in a slow cooker – and tested them with unrivaled success. Chicken is juicer… beans are the perfect al dente… and flavors pop like never before. This modern day pressure cooker operates with what seems to be magic: it speeds up the cooking process exponentially and yielding tender, flavorful gourmet results with the least amount of effort. This indispensible kitchen tool has become our “go-to” for anything that would typically require an extended cooking time – from our popular whole Pressure Cooker Chicken… to soups, stews, vegetables and even large, tough cuts of meat. Ever since we got our hands on the amazing Instant Pot pressure cooker, it hard to imagine returning to our oven-lovin’ or slow-cookin’ ways.
