  • Yikes!

    I just tracked down that pressure cooker, that is a Kuhn Rikon (7 Quart?) and it runs around 220 dollars.

  • DUDE, I FUCKING LOVE YOU!

  • i was wondering why u use the pressure cooker when u had a tangine! ? but hey if it taste the same!! nice work! thank you for the video

  • OMG, your intro scared me because that wass exactly how i feel about pressure cooker and i bought one few days ago and guess what happened? i forcebly open it and the food exploded in the kitchen..just like you say..but i have to be strong and make it my friend...ok that only happen because there was no manual to go with it.not my fault but i should have reserched before trying it out!!

  • I found this video while looking up how to make moonshine, and most people use pressure cookers for that.

    After watching this video, I now know why people use these sealed cookers, and I know how what to look for if I want to be safe.

  • Very useful. I've had a pressure cooker for years and now I know how to start using it. Thank you.

  • Great Video, wish i watched to the end of the video before opening my lid!!! :) I've just scraped half my dinner off the roof!

  • Brilliant. Please do more of these.

  • AA

  • Nice video.. I'm sticking with an electric pressure cooker though. Love the VitaMix on the counter dude!! I love mine!! :)

  • thank you for showing how to close the lid I could not get my pot closed til I watched your video. I am trying my hand a pressure cooking :-)

  • Great vid you should have your own cooking show :D I have always been afraid of pressure cookers after watching this i'm going to give it a go .

  • Great video you guy has such a endearing manner - glad he showed pressure in operation unlike some demos. After marinating the chicken/meat I would give it a quick braise/seal in a hot frypan for a couple of minutes in some cooking oil to stop it looking anaemic and then pop the meat in the pressure cooker then add the rest of the lovely ingredients suggested and it will be even more blissful...try this method and let me know if it is an improvement!

  • can you use it to make a gun

  • "Are you afraid of me?"

  • haha! I love the intro!

    anyways, thank you!!

  • this guy is so awesome

  • Great video and explanation. Thanks for sharing!

  • Just bought my pressure cooker and using it to sterilize my vermiculite, flour, rice substrate for growing psychedelic mushrooms. Maybe after munching on some of these I will proceed to cooking a colorful meal like the one shown here. LOL Awesome video!!

  • @SickKnowledge82 I think 90% of the views are from stoners who never used a pressure cooker before and are trying to grow their shrooms,I know I am LOL.

  • That is one soothing voice. I'm going to watch some more of your videos.

  • excellent presenter!

  • How can I get the recipe that Chef Arlyn Hackett shows here. The ingredients sound wonderful, but I don't know how much of each. Also, what kind of pressure cooker does he have. I have a Presto. I have never heard of the kind he has with the rings that tell you that the pressure need to be lower. Hope I can get this info. Thanks!

  • holy crap - never seen a pressure cooker in action before. have heard about it but never actually seen it in operation. damn i think your video has sold me - im getting one for sure! :D

  • Okay, I'm sold . . .off to get a pressure cooker.

  • Thank you Chef. You are very eloquent.

  • Sounds yummy.... whats the receipe??? I want to cook some for myself :-)

  • thanks so much

  • no, but i am afraid of you!

  • Very nice!!! I like the way he presented it in a very clear easy method. Thanks.

  • A pressure cooker reminds me of my dad...when he gets in one of his bad mood...

  • what a gay cunt

  • We just ordered a pressure cooker! Now I can't wait until it arrives!

  • what a pleasant guy and such presence! anyway, i'm thinking of doing chili with a pressure cooker. usually i'll add some liquid if i were using a crock pot. but with the way a pressure cooker retains liquid, should i put in less beef broth or else it'll be watered down? thanks!

  • try flavorewave...

  • My pressure cooker locking pin won't raise up, steam just keeps shooting out of the locking pin hole.  The lid seams to be lined up what's wrong. The pressure cooker is really hot too.

  • Thanks for the great video!

  • Thanks mate - appreciate that

  • Great video Chef. I've never cooked in pressure cooker without adding any water but will try it next time. I like making my meals in the pressure cooker. It's just so handy!

  • With that type of stove,you might want to use two burners. One set just high enough to maintain pressure. The other high so as to bring the cooker up to pressure quickly. By the time you reach pressure, the lower burner has had time to reach and stabilize at the cooking temperature.And so you move the pressure cooker over to the second burner and shut the first one off.

  • this man looks so nice

  • Never run cold water over a hot pressure cooker.... you can warp the lid

  • @grainpsilo Who says? I see chefs do that all the time.

  • Very good and helpful video, thanks

  • Nice job gurlfriend :) have a great day! Happy new Year

  • what brand pressure cooker is that?

  • what brand pressur cooker is that?

    

  • yes, yes i am afraid of pressure cookers

  • Best video I've ever seen on pressure cookers!! I just got my own cooker and that chicken dechine / tajine (??) looks might good :D Best part is you don't have to use any extra water, it's just all that good juice from the ingridients! :D

  • Man you should have your own cooking show.

  • I will never ever use one. My Aunt Hortense and her cat Felix died in the great " Pressure Cooker Explosion Of '79 ". If you don't know how to use one, Your better off lighting a stick of dynamite in your kitchen.

  • @mikeygeneral I had the same fear. But, like he said, modern pressure cookers cannot explose. Even if you intentionally keep the cooker on high heat and try to build enough pressure to make them explode, an emergency valve (a hole with a small fusible that will break if the pressure is too high) will release the excess pressure. I agree though that the old models do not have any of the safety features, so they were dangerous at the time. I now own and the time I save is awesome!

  • was that meant to be a joke at the end? lol what a loser.

  • VERY CLEAR & PRECISE STEPS. Nice analogies and thank you for the mini history lessons.

  • This is a great video, thank you.

    Oh, and accent's are relative, it just depends on where you're from.

  • Great Video, thank you.

  • Anyone realize he put that piping out pressure cooker on top of a plastic rack in the sick? That had to have melted it...

  • The best Pressure Cooker Kuhn Rikon

  • For those of you who are afraid of pressure cookers try the digital Cuisinart Pressure Cooker. Best thing I ever bought and totally safe and EASY.

  • Please visit youcookworld (dot) (com) and upload all your cooking videos. Cash prizes available for best cooking videos.

  • Great video and even greater voice. My grandmother's maiden name was Hackett, so hello there cousin. Keep on cookin' :).

  • Comment removed

  • I am still afraid of pressure cooker as mine is not like his and I will still feel it will explode at anytime, I have pressure cookerfobiaaaaaaaaa...when he pressed that botton and the steem came out and made that scarry noise I almost fainted.

    NO way..............I rather have my canned beens instead.....

  • I think now I am willing to try to use the pressure cooker I purchased 2 years ago, but did not think I was skilled enough to try it just by reading the written word. Thank you and especially for showing me visually the built in safety releases around the top by the gasket. Even though my pressure cooker is not the same one you have I found those openings! Thanks!

  • you got to the point man and at the same time giving me a little more

  • Thank you very much Chef Arlyn. I had a pressure cooker given to me by my mother-in-law which she brought over from Portugal - with no instructions. It stayed in my kitchen cupboards all this time until i saw this video. I had never used a pressure cooker before, so i was afraid it may explode / burn me as i was unsure on how to use it correctly. I am happy to say that i have finally used the pressure cooker, it works like a charm, and I will continue to use it on a regular basis. Thank you :-)

  • Pressure cookers are the best! I use my electric PC 2-3 times a week.

  • WONDERFUL video!

    THANK YOU!!!!!!

    (ps,,,please make more Chef!!)

  • That was remarkably helpful. I have always been concerned about a pressure cooker exploding. Actually seeing the safety valve and pressure release button answers that. I'm going to buy one and see how my next quinoa recipe turns out. I've just been using a rice cooker.

  • thank you - very helpful!

  • This guy is my culinary arts teacher hahaha no joke!

  • Dude, Awesome demo! thanks.

  • VERY HELPFUL TIPS !! THANKS!!

  • I came home the other day started a reaux seared the meat tossed all of it into the pressure cooker allowed it to cook for one hour and I had a meal that would have taken me hours to cook to get the meat tender enough to eat with a spoon. I uses a lotta pots the way I do it mainly bc I wanted the surface area to cook a fast reaux and a sear the meat. A start dishwater B chop veggies C start rice after pcooker started.

  • Wow, that is what I always thought, like it could explode, LOL. That's why I always avoided the pressure cooker! Thanks for this video!!!!

  • what is point with that compared to a normal pot

  • i dont know how to close that pressure cooker shit arabians shouldnt buy that shit too much technology

  • Comment removed

  • Great and informative video. Thanks

  • camera guy shouldn't walk around while you talk. It's distracting.

  • chefarlyn, wouldn't the cold water warp the pot??????!1

  • u forgot the strawberries

  • Hi, sir can you please post your chicken tangine recipe please?

  • i like your style guerro............... i will try it with lamb

  • pasteurization kills almost all the nutrition in the milk and does nothing to prevent spoilage.

  • u sicken me

  • can u please give this recipe

  • Comment removed

  • Since my answer to the first two questions was a loud and heartfelt YES, I thank you for this very infomative video!

  • Sir, I love you! are u married? I was so afraid of pressure cookers, I was always told that they burst and are dangerous to use. Not anymore... here I come!

  • Married? pfft...I think he might be married in Vermont, but not in California! Good video though.

  • I'm married in California. Go 18,000 club!

  • You sir have made a difficult task relatively childish in difficulty!!

    Well described, love your passion for cooking. I had a question regarding trivets and steamer baskets. I bought a cooker today and I cant figure out what is the use of it or how or where to put it. The manual vaguely refers to it as a separator for multiple ingredients which you dont want to mix. Could you explain how to use it, or make a video for it.

    Thanks!!

  • Thank you Mr. Hackett :)

  • What a very helpful video! Thank you.

  • you should pressure cook this one!!

  • i particularly dislike accents but his is quite nice and sexy.

  • Haha...i agree ;)!

  • he's my girlfriend

  • @maximon72 get a room, lol.

  • @maximon72 Haha, yeah--& easy on the eyes too...

  • @maximon72 it's not an accent, he just has lisp

  • @maximon72 I don't understand this statement. Doesn't EVERYONE have an accent??

  • @maximon72 he doesn't have an accent

  • @HeartsGerman  everybody has an accent unless you are a pool of salt.

  • @HeartsGerman lets agree to disagree.

  • @maximon72 No i'll agree. He has an accent. What do you mean by 'unless you are a pool of salt'?

  • @HeartsGerman i am more interested in praising the fine delivery and execution of this presentation than discussing biblical metaphorical narratives that highlight stubborn viewpoints of ignoramus bloggers.

  • @maximon72 i don't know what you are talking about

  • @HeartsGerman i am just going to ignore you. 

  • @maximon72 how does this guy have an accent?

  • he sounds evil...but yes this is educational for the aspiring cook

  • Educational Vid, what is the make of your Cooker and what size??

  • Iam using a similar one. In normal cases after the steem start to whispering one must to switch tha fire to minimal level.

  • this video is simply wrong. most pressure cookers do lose lots of water cooking: if you fail to realize that fact you will burn your food in the pressure cooker. i like hawkins brand but there are a few good ones for under 50 USD

  • I had bought my pressure cookers at Brands Mart USA for $25+tax. I love it! I was scared to use it at first because the instructions didn't say how to use it. It just focused on making sure the lid is properly closed. This video was helpful. The recipe he mentioned in the video and the food came out way too sweet since it has dates and apricots in the ingredients. I noticed that it does lose water and you have to add water to it. If you don't your food will stick to the bottom and burn.

  • Try a beef roast in a pcooker..Holy crap is it great! 4 lbs meat, 1 onion, some soup base or bouillon, just about cover with water/stock, 10lbs pressure for 1 hr...hr 15 and you have a roast fit fer a king. serve wit boiled taters...yummo!!

  • yummmmmmmmyyyyyyyy!

  • great vid. thanks!

  • I am trying to buy a Pressure cooker but there are thousands of them out there. Whats the brand of the PC are you using?

  • Now I can use that pressure cooker I bought over a year ago but was too afraid to try!

  • Thank you this is just what I needed.

  • great job, thanks for taking the time to do that and post it to youtube. I found it informational and valuable.

  • hey great video im hungry now

  • Is it alright to cook rice with pressure cookers?

  • There really is no point - bring water to a boil, pour in rice, boil for 5 minutes, let sit for 15 minutes. To use a pressure cooker is to use an elephant gun to kill a fly. Unless you are cooking brown rice, then maybe, but even so a retained heat flameless cooker would make so much more sense.

  • Thanks. I too came to the same conclusion. Looking for an alternative to the tephlon-pot rice cooker was what sparked my interest. But I found stainless steel rice cooker model.

  • I agree, cook rice in a rice cooker, less hassle, easier clean-up.

  • mmmmmm im hungry now!!!

  • just a step in the process of making magic mushrooms

  • Thanks for that! I picked up a pressure cooker at a yard sale & it did not have instructions. Because of the "it'll explode" myth, I've been afraid to try it. Now that I've seen your video, I know how to use it. Thank you!! I'll also try your delicious looking dish!!

  • my mom always uses pressure cooker...it makes cooking easy n quick..never saw any1 else use it though....thanks for posting

  • Thank you for posting this video! I received a pressure cooker as a wedding gift last year and I've been afraid to use it, haha.

  • I swear when you took the lid off, I could smell the yummy food!

    I'm going to get a pressure cooker now. THanks!

  • I have a Fagor pressure cooker that I have been using for over 10 years, it makes excellent beef stew in under an hour using cheap cuts of beef, carrots, potatoes, onions, celery. After opening the pot I add water with flour mixed in to thicken the gravy, also put in a teaspoon of gravy master.

  • How about adding the recipe to the info section? I pressed the more info button and was disappointed when it wasn't there. It looked delicious.

  • saying the same thing as everyone else...nice video...great voice for instruction.

  • Excellent "how to" presentation. Would like to have the recipe!

  • Are you a teacher bcos you have just present a very good lesson for how to use the pressure cooker. Also your voice is so sweet and pleasant to listen to. Thank you.

  • This was such an interesting video! And your voice was so pleasant to listen to. Thank you.

    Off to use my new (old) pressure cooker now... wish me luck.

  • I use a pressure cooker for rice and stuff. does rise perfectly in 3 minutes.

  • if i was 20 years older i would have him!! :P

  • You did a very nice presentation Chef...

    I just made a stew the other day and it was very good, total time was about 45 mins and the meat was so tender...

  • The Jamie Oliver Pressure cooker is expensive but it has an electronic timer and is easy to use. You can also use cheap cuts of meat because cooking in a pressure cooker tenderises it.

  • I'm inspired. I want to learn to make curries using the pressure cooker, I heard its very simple

  • YouTube is a great testament of the pressure cooker's safety--I couldn't find a single video of a pressure cooker accident :-)

  • Holy cow, why don't I own one of these marvelous cooking devices?? I'm going to buy one right now!

  • what brand and size pressure cooker was that? i really want to get one

  • Looks like a 6qt size? It's Kuhn-Rikon, one of the higest priced cookers. It's Swiss-made. But if you don't want to spend over $200 for a pressure cooker, there are very good economy-priced alternatives. Presto's products have the "jiggler" type pressure regulator. Fagor is a "new generation" pressure cooker, with a spring-loaded regulator. Both are excellent choices, with similar safety features to the K-R. Replacement parts (gasket especially) are readily available.

  • Arlyn,

    Thank you. Thanks a million. You don't know how the pressure cooker has influenced my life. It has brought family dinners to a whole new level. I never knew that during the 30 minutes I saved cooking rice that I could have some quality time with the fam. What do you think of t-shirts with the slogan, "Pressure Cook This" with a list of all your tasty pressure cooker recipes on the back? Just a thought.

  • Arlyn,

    Thank you. I'm no longer a pressure cooker virgin. Thanks to your inspiring video, I have put my new Presto Pressure Cooker from the Arc to great use. It's an ancient piece of equipment, but the beauty of the pressure cooker is that it never goes out of style. Right now I'm eating 10 minute rice. 10 minutes!!! Can you believe it?????? I'm having a dinner party and was wondering if you have any tasty recipes to share via video?

  • Awesome video and explanation of pressure cookers.

  • It would have been better if you Browned the meat first :D

  • Why?

  • I agree. Maillard is delicious

  • For good browning, the meat needs to be dry, so this is difficult after the marinating. However, the meat may be browned before it is marinated. This would combine the Maillard reaction, with the marinated flavors. But, perhaps the browning is not a step in this recipe if one is going for authenticity?

  • Comment removed

  • My mother used one fairly often, with good success. The valve gave a chiming whistle when pressure was attained.

    I was still a little scared to use it myself, but eventually learned to.

    It is quick and gives great results.

    I no longer have that cooker *snif*. I suppose I shall have to buy a new one... (BTW, they have not changed all that much. Low tech is new tech)

    Bon Appetit! :-)

  • My pressure cooker manual says you have to have about a quarter of a liter of water each time you cook something, but you didn't really use any water, is it special to your cooker or?

  • Notice that he did put in the marinade liquid as well with the meat....

  • Liquid requirements vary with different pressure cookers, and according to how long the cooking is timed for. Some pressure cookers lose more steam than others, but all are very efficient if used properly. Yes, there was already liquid with the marinade in this demonstration.

  • i his behing my table with a pan over my head for protection and used a broom to press the valve and release the presuure loool i just dont trust it

  • @stealthgeeza

    Hahahahahahahahahahahhaahaha!

  • am i scared of pressure cookers ... yes .. almost as much as sharks ... did this hemp?? kinda lol

  • Great video. Thanks so much I'm going to try mine now.

  • Very cool video, thank you! That food looks delicious!

  • I've used a pressure cooker since I was a kid learning to cook. Generations of my family have used pressure cookers -- with only one mis-hap.

    The worst thing that ever happened was an entire roast liquified and shot up through the pressure valve when the rocker was taken off too early... Grandma never got that stain off of her ceiling!!! LOL!

    If you pay attention to it, like all other cooking, then there is nothing to be afraid of ... and pressure cooking is much quicker!

  • While your manner and presentation are good, it's really hard to tell what constitutes "under pressure". Yup, lids locked. Is any steam coming out? Should it be? Good from a "don't fear the cooker", but not so helpful for us beginners. Thanks anyhow.

  • hey chef its Chris Griffin i finally had a chance to check this out...i really need to get one of those..very intresting facts as well. see you tuesday
