This sounds like it could really help with being pressed for time but still wanting to make a healthy dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pressure-cooking#post-792040 Fri, 17 May 2013 17:12:12 +0000 mrs. bird 792040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've been experimenting with mine lately. it's a pressure cooker, a slow cooker, and a rice cooker (OMG i loooove it!), but i hadn't done much with the pressure cooking option until now. this week i threw frozen chicken breasts in with some chili powder, rice, water &amp; a jar of salsa (inspired by @artbee: 's recipe for slow cooker salsa chicken!) and put it on high for 12 minutes.... the rice wasn't awesome to be honest, DH didn't seem to mind though, but the chicken was tastey &amp; seriously it would have taken me longer just to thaw the chicken so it was a win in my book =D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pressure-cooking#post-792027 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:55:11 +0000 knittylady 792027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used it solely for cooking unsoaked dry beans. Works great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pressure-cooking#post-791987 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:26:15 +0000 MrsRoo 791987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: we just use water. We like our veggies super plain though. We rarely put anything other than a little sea salt (maybe) on them!<br /> @Mrs. High Heels: that is a very informative post, thank you fir linking it! We need to step up our pressure cooking game... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pressure-cooking#post-791971 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:19:47 +0000 Happygal 791971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: thanks for reviving this thread!</p> <p>@MrsRoo: we'll have to try veggies. Do you use water or broth for cooking them?</p> <p>@Mrs. High Heels: that's a great post. Can't believe I missed it! Definitely will take notes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pressure-cooking#post-791936 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:00:20 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 791936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: there was a GREAT post on hellobee about this!! i don't own a pressure cooker, but it made me want to get one and gave me so many great ideas - <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/01/02/the-wonderful-pressure-cooker/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/01/02/the-wonderful-pressure-cooker/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pressure-cooking#post-791934 Fri, 17 May 2013 15:59:27 +0000 MrsRoo 791934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really have any recipes (DH does most of the cooking), but we use ours all the time. Mostly for veggies because it cooks them perfectly, and sometimes for chicken because it cooks pretty fast and stays very moist. Ours came with a little instruction/recipe booklet that we use for reference when we want to cook something different than veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pressure-cooking#post-791918 Fri, 17 May 2013 15:47:02 +0000 heffalump 791918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never used one.... but interested to hear some recipes to see if it would be worth it to buy one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pressure-cooking#post-764831 Tue, 07 May 2013 08:06:03 +0000 Happygal 764831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't register for one, but still received a pressure cooker when we got married. I want to use it more, so I'm looking for inspiration! Anyone use a pressure cooker and have great recipes or tips? </p>
