Really? What sort of time/energy differences? And would I use it for anything else (remembering at the moment only TD eats meat, and not very much at that). |
I tend to soak some beans overnight, and then I can have them boiled in the pressure cooker inside of half an hour. Butterbeans I boil without soaking.
As well as for beans, I use mine for stock (it takes HOURS off that), boiling knuckles of ham, making soups and stews (vege and otherwise)... Sometimes I'll put a Kilner jar of beans in with whatever else I'm cooking, give it a good half hour at pressure and then stick the jar in the cupboard till I need the beans. Seems to work out okay. You can do rice pudding in it in a fraction of the time you would need in the oven (although it sticks a little).
For a lot of cooking a pressure cooker is just too vicious; I'd never do veg in there, for example, unless I want them good and dead.
As for energy use, I don't have the ring on any higher, so it's using less. |
