Pressure cookers are often relegated to the back of the kitchen cabinet, used only occasionally to cook tough foods. However, this versatile device can do so much more.
One of the most surprising uses for a pressure cooker is making oatmeal. With a good recipe, you can cook oatmeal to perfection in a pressure cooker, and it's not limited to breakfast only. Try making some oatmeal and see the beautiful result.
Beans can be a challenge to cook, especially when you're using dried beans. However, a pressure cooker can cook beans in under ten minutes, making it a game-changer for legume-based meals.
Pressure cookers are also perfect for creating soups. Simply add your ingredients, set the timer, and walk away. On your return, you'll have a piping hot soup waiting for you.
But that's not all - pressure cookers can even bake cakes. While they may not have temperature regulation buttons, you can still achieve great results by setting a time after pouring your batter.
Indian roti is another dish that can be made using a pressure cooker. The results are similar to those achieved using a tava, making it a great alternative for those without an oven.
Finally, pressure cookers can even be used to make bread. Knead the dough, place it in the pressure cooker, and you'll have delicious homemade bread in no time.
So, the next time you're thinking of using your pressure cooker, remember all the amazing things it can do beyond cooking tough foods.
