Cooking in a Pressure Cooker

A pressure cooker can save you time and energy when it comes time to use the dried beans and grains that you have in storage. "Survival Doc" of TheNewSurvivalist.com demonstrates a fool-proof method of cooking brown rice which yields perfect rice every time with no sticking and no burning.

you have to let it vent before putting on the weight. The air inside causes it to not cook correctly

[thenewsurvivalist]

@jdekayable No, you don't have to let it vent. It vents itself when the regulator rocks. I've been cooking in pressure cookers for 30 years. I do vent my pressure canner when canning in it. There may be some types of pressure cookers that require venting but I don't think the modern ones like this one do.

Thanks for this video, very helpful

I am looking for bowls, like the one you had, for my pressure cooker (Rapide) that i can stack up and cook at least 3 items at once-Rice, veges and one more. any recommendations?

[thenewsurvivalist]

@admarketingmanager Veggies will cook in a pressure cooker in a matter of minutes. I don't recommend it because they will be mush by the time the rice is done. Veggies are good cooked in soups or stews. You will need a tall pressure cooker and short/wide bowls and perhaps trivets to place between the bowls. Experiment.

I just bought a jiggle-type Everwear pressure cooker a month ago and the first couple of times I used it, the weight jiggled intermittently and steam hissed out. Now when I use it, the weight will jiggle when i am bringing it up to pressure..but when I turn it down to medium steam constantly comes out of the weight and the weight doesn't jiggle at all. Do you have any idea why it is doing this?

[thenewsurvivalist]

@asakali I don't know. I'd contact the manufacturer. Check to see if there is anything in the weight, such as a piece of food, that is interfering with the flow.

Very interesting technique. However, I cook rice in my rice cooker. I have tried cooking beans in my pressure cooker, and sure enough, you can't stir them, and they burn on the bottom. So now I just use the pressure cooker to soften the hard beans. I have a an old CuisineArt p.c. made in Belgium. Of couse, it is discontinued along with most of the parts. Now CusineArt has a p.c. that is electric! I loved the little gasket on yours. It reminded me of my mother's p.c. in the 1960s.
