Adapting Traditional Recipes to
Use in the Cayenne Pressure
Cooker
It is easy to adapt your favorite recipe for
use in a pressure cooker. For the most
part, soups, stews, braised and slow-
roasted meats and poultry, and slow-sim-
mered recipes, such as tomato sauce and
fruit preserves provide the best results.
Meats and Poultry: When preparing
meats and poultry, brown well in the pres-
sure cooker pot using at least 2 table-
spoons of vegetable or olive oil. Pour off
any excess fat and sautè onions, garlic or
any other vegetables as called for in the
recipe. Add the remaining ingredients and
at least a 1/2 cup of cooking liquid such
as broth, diluted tomato puree or wine.
Soups: Soups are quick and easy to pre-
pare. Add meat, poultry or seafood to the
pressure cooker along with any desired
vegetables, herbs and spices. Add liquid
ingredients, fi lling pressure cooker only
halfway.
