SL ROAST WITH ONION AND MUSHROOM GRAVY - 6-QT. PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• Sprinkle roast evenly with pepper. Place in 6-quart or larger pressure cooker.
• Add mushroom soup, onion soup mix, beef bouillon cubes and 2 cups water.
• Secure lid. Over medium-high heat, bring to HIGH pressure (2nd bar,15 psi). Adjust heat to stabilize just at high pressure. From moment high pressure was reached, cook 20 minutes. (Check recommended cooking time in your manufacturer's manual.).
• Remove from heat and use quick pressure reduction method recommended by your manual. The recipe recommended running cold water over the lower edge of the cooker.
• Remove lid, directing steam away from you.
• Remove roast, and keep warm.
• Stir together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water. Add to liquid in pressure cooker. Bring to a boil, then cook for 1 minute.
• Serve gravy with roast.
• -- MODIFICATIONS FOR USING ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER, added May 11, 2018 --.
• DO NOT ADD canned condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup during Step 2. The safety sensors of the new electric pressure cookers will give a "Burn" error if you do. (We'll add the condensed soup after pressure cooking.).
• For an electric pressure cooker, cook at High pressure for 40 minutes.
• DO NOT RUN COLD WATER OVER THE LID of an electric pressure cooker for quick release! Allow pressure to reduce naturally for 12 minutes, then you can do a quick release of remaining pressure.
• Add the Cream of Mushroom soup after pressure cooking, before the cornstarch step. If you want to make your own condensed cream of mushroom soup, "This Old Gal" recommends: 1) in a liquid measuring cup, whisk 1 cup cold milk with 2 Tablespoons cornstarch until well blended. 2) Add to pressure cooker pot, press SAUTE button. 3) Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules (or Better than Bouillon), 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, and a dash of pepper. Oh, and add a (drained) small can of mushrooms or 1/4 cup of sauteed mushrooms to make it "mushroom" soup. (Or, if you are a Mushroom Lover, saute 8 ounces of mushrooms on the stove, and add them to the pressure cooker pot at this point.) 4) Heat to a boil, stirring frequently. 5) Simmer on low for one minute more to thicken.
• After incorporating the cream of mushroom soup ingredient(s), decide if you still need to add the additional 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water to reach desired consistency.

KALUA PIG IN 6-QT ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• Place bacon slices flat on the bottom of the pressure cooker pot. Press "Saute" button. Brown bacon and flip to brown the other side. When browned on both sides, turn off pressure cooker.
• Cut the roast into 3 equal pieces. With a sharp knife, makes slits in the roast and place the garlic there.
• Use 3/4 teaspoon of medium-coarse salt for every 1 pound of meat; if using fine salt, use half as much. Sprinkle salt evenly over the pork.
• Place the salted pork on top of the bacon - it needs to sit in one layer.
• Pour in water.
• Secure lid.
• Press "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" button (if using Instant Pot). Immediately press the + button until you have set the time for 90 minutes under high pressure. (If using a stovetop pressure cooker, cook on high heat until high pressure is reached, then lower heat to maintain high pressure for 75 minutes.).
• The electric pressure cooker will switch to a "Keep Warm" setting about 10 minutes after pressure cooking has stopped. It can sustain "Keep Warm" for 10 hours, if necessary.
• Allow pressure to reduce naturally. If you are impatient, allow it to reduce pressure for at least 15 minutes before manually releasing remaining pressure.
• Remove the pork and place in a large bowl. Place the cabbage wedges into the cooking liquid.
• Secure the lid. Pressure cook the cabbage for 2 minutes at high pressure. After pressure cooking has finished, allow it to reduce pressure naturally for 5 minutes, then quickly manually release any remaining steam.
• Meanwhile, shred the pork, and apportion into bowls. Place a wedge of cooked cabbage on top of each portion.
• Refrigerated leftovers will keep for 4 days; frozen will keep several months.

CL BEEF POT ROAST AND GRAVY - 6-QT PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• Sprinkle roast evenly with salt and pepper.
• Heat a 6- or 8-quart pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add oil to cooker; swirl to coat.
• Add roast to cooker. Sauté 5 minutes, browning on all sides.
• Stir in 3 cups rich beef stock and wine.
• Close lid securely. Bring to high pressure over high heat. Reduce heat to medium or level needed to maintain high pressure. Cook for 35 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Use quick release method favored by your pressure cooker manufacturer: release pressure through steam vent, or place cooker under cold running water to release pressure.
• Remove lid, directing steam away from you. Add thyme sprigs, garlic, parsnips, carrots, turnips, potatoes and onions.
• Close lid securely. Return to high pressure, cook 1 minute.
• Remove from heat. Use quick release method favored by your pressure cooker manufacturer: release pressure through steam vent, or place cooker under cold running water to release pressure. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Remove roast. Slice roast thinly, and place on a platter.
• Remove vegetables from cooker using a slotted spoon, and place on platter with roast. Cover and keep roast and vegetables warm.
• Strain cooking liquid through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a large bowl. Discard solids.
• Bring cooking liquid to a boil over medium-high heat in a large, wide skillet. Cook until reduced to 1 1/2 cups (about 15 minutes).
• Remove 1/4 cup cooking liquid from pan. Add 2 tablespoons flour, stirring with a whisk.
• Return flour mixture to pan. Cook 2 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring with a whisk.

SWEET DRY-RUB BABY BACK RIBS - 6-QT ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• RUB:.
• Combine all Rub ingredients in a medium bowl.
• RIBS:.
• Using a full cooking sheet, prepare ribs by removing membrane that covers the inside part of the ribs. Also trim off excess fat, if any. (Check YouTube for instructive videos.).
• Generously coat both sides of both racks of ribs.
• In 6-quart or larger electric pressure cooker, place roasting rack in inner pot. Pour in Coca Cola. Place each rack of ribs vertically, with meaty side out, and meatier edge on top. (A 6-quart P.C. should accommodate 3 racks, and an 8-quart P.C. should handle 4 racks.).
• Feel free to sprinkle rest of rub on ribs.
• Put inner pot into Pressure Cooker base.
• Secure lid.
• INSTANT POT: Select MEAT/STEW setting, and increase time to 30 minutes. When cooking has completed, press Off, and unplug. Allow pressure to release naturally (or at least 12 minutes before venting).
• OTHER ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER: Cook on HIGH pressure for 30 minutes, and allow pressure to release naturally.
• STOVE-TOP P.C.: Please consult your manual. These normally cook at 15 psi instead of 11 psi attained by electric pressure cookers, so cooking times and Natural Pressure Release times will both be shorter. You will have to hang around to make sure the stove-top pressure cooker maintains the right pressure, however.
• Once pressure cooker has released its pressure, remove the lid. Carefully remove the ribs with tongs. (I move the ribs to a colander to drain as I normally cook them ahead up to this point.).
• OPTIONAL: Strain the cooking liquid and refrigerate, then remove the top fat layer. It would make a killer marinade for a rump roast. If you don't like that option, discard the cooking liquid as you see fit.
• FINISHING:.
• OVEN: Set to BROIL. Put racks meaty side up and glaze with BBQ sauce with a silicone basting brush. Broil for 2-5 minutes or until heated through. If you like, baste again and broil some more.
• GRILL: Prepare grill. On BBQ mesh grate, place rib racks meaty side up and glaze with BBQ sauce with a silicone basting brush. Heat through. Baste again and heat some more if you wish.

KEMP'S VEGETARIAN BLACK BEANS - 6-QT PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• PRESSURE COOKER.
