Can you put a pyrex dish inside a pressure cooker?

Yes you can. Put some cloth on the bottom of the cooker, like a kitchen towel(clean !). Put in your pyrex dish, filled with goodies and about half the water you'd normally use. Add water on top of the covered pyrex so the cooker is about 5 cm full. Cook as you'd normally do with a pressure cooker. Let to cool slowly when done, do not open when hot. This is important. Enjoy!

Why is a frying pan and a casserole dish better for a pressure cooker?

boiling water will cook it evenly but if you put it straight on with pressured heat it will cook faster. why? heat when pressured becomes extremely hot causing things to cook faster. As the pressure rises, the temperature of the water and steam inside the sealed pot (the pressure cooker) also rises above the normal 100ºC (212ºF) boiling point temperature.

What is a recipe for canning beef in a 12-quart pressure cooker?

My mother and I have canned meat for years. It is wonderful! You just put the cubed meat in your jars, add water and salt (about a teaspoon per quart). Leave enough headspace when you put the lids on. Then pressure can for 90 minutes at 10 pounds pressure for quarts and 75 minutes at 10 pounds pressure for pints.


How long do you cook turkey wings in a pressure cooker?

First, pressure cookers are usually not big enough for that. Second, the pressure in most pressure cookers is the same for everything you cook in it. (There are some modern ones that allow you to make adjustments) The principle of a pressure cooker is that the boiling point of water, which is in virtually everything you would put in a pressure cooker, is higher under pressure. That means the temperature you are cooking at is higher. If you boil water on the stove in an open pot the water never gets higher in temperature than 212 F. at five pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure in a pressure cooker water boils at 220 F. at ten psi water boils at 235 F. Higher temperatures cooking is faster. Your turkey will cook in a pressure cooker, but it won't come out looking like a roasted turkey. So plan on eating this one alone.


When baking in a pressure cooker should we put rubber gasket?

You should not use a pressure cooker to bake in . You could use the bottom if you had to, but it will not build pressure without the gasket and the gasket should not be put in the oven. The gauge will not survive in the oven either. The older lids also had a lead blow-out plug and the newer ones, a rubber plug. Both will melt out in the oven.
