Own a pressure cooker? Looking for quick and easy recipes to whip up in your favourite kitchen gadget? You've come the right place!
We've got the best pressure cooker recipes right here.
We love a kitchen gadget here at GoodtoKnow and the pressure cooker is top of our list. 'Why?' we hear you ask, well it really speeds up cooking time of so many dishes and you'll have dinner on the table much faster than you originally planned. But pressure cooker recipes always seem the same.
A pressure cooker is an airtight pot in which food can be cooked in very very quickly under what's called 'steam pressure'. The sealed pot has a lot of steam inside which then builds up high pressure which helps food cook faster than usual.
This clever invention actually dates back to the 1600s but today's versions are much easier and less fiddly to use.
We've rounded up some of the best things we bet you never knew you could make in a pressure including Christmas pudding and many many more. You're going to be spoilt for choice!
It'll mean that you can make use of your pressure cooker so much more with a cohort of pressure cooker recipes.
