Soups And Stocks - Presto 01/PCC4H Instruction And Recipe Book

The pressure cooker is perfect for preparing delicious, nourishing soups and stocks in minutes instead of the hours
taken by ordinary methods.
Stocks form the base for most great soups and sauces, and you can even substitute a stock for water in many recipes
to add extra flavor. Traditionally, stocks are made by simmering bones and scraps for hours to extract all their flavor.
With the pressure cooker, you can do the same thing in just minutes by following the simple directions on the fol-
lowing pages.
We've also included a few favorite soup recipes and, if you have a favorite recipe of your own, try it in the pressure
cooker using one of the recipes in this book as your guide. If adding dry beans and peas, they must first be soaked
according to directions on page 29. Do not pressure cook soups containing barley, rice, pasta, grains, dry beans
and peas which are not listed in the chart on page 29, and dried soup mixes because they have a tendency to
foam, froth, and sputter and could block the vent pipe.
Cooked barley, rice, grains, pasta, dry beans and peas which are not listed in the chart on page 29, and dried soup
mixes should be added to the soup after pressure cooking.
