How do you cook tamales in a pressure cooker?
Pressure cookers can be dangerous. You have to make sure the seal (gasket) is in good condition and that the valve is working if you are using one you got secondhand. There should be instruction manuals for many pressure cookers on the Internet.Basically pressure cookers build up heat because they are sealed so well. They cook food much faster than a normal pot - You can cook a roast in about 20 minutes. They are also used frequently in canning veggies and other nonacidic foods.There is a pressure gauge on the top. You have to let the pressure go down before opening the pot! Please don't use one until you know what you are doing or your least problem will be a huge mess.First inspect the pressure cooker tharoughly and ensure that there are no damages especially to the gasket and see that it is clean.Next, you also need to ensure that the vent pipe is open and clear for pressure cooker with weighted pressure regulator. Check recipe for specific cooking method and cooking time. If your recipe requires a rack place it to the bottom of the cooker.Add a 1/2 cup water to pot if you're using a cooker that has a weighted system. Add 1 cup for pressure cooker that uses valve system. This should be sufficient for 20 minutes of cooking time.Place the food on rack.With the weighted system cooker remove the regulator then close and secure the lid. The cover handle should be parallel to the body handle. Place the cooker on heat.Once the steam begins to exit the vent pipe, replace the regulator. The weight on top the lid will begin to rock once the cooker reaches cooking pressure.The valve system cooker has markings on the cooker that indicate the pressure levels. Once the indicator is at 15 PSI the cooker is at the standard cooking pressure.Now, lower the heat once the cooker is at the cooking pressure in order to maintain the pressure. Comeback and chek and adjust the heat setting periodically.Use the timer to time the recipe.Once the required time is passed, you can turn off the heat.Next, you need to release the pressure inside by allowing it to reduce on its own.Once the pressure is released the lid can be opened after the removing the regulator.Hope this helps.

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.
Why can't you cook in open vessels at hills?
At sea level normal atmospheric pressure is about 14psi (1.o3 kg/sqcm) and water boils at approximately at 100 degrees centigrade ,hence normal cooking of dhals(pulses) can be done easily. But as you go high over the mountains, the atmoshperic pressure comes down and water boils at a lower temperature. Hence while cooking in open vessels on hills/mountains due to the low atmospheric pressure and resulting low boiling point cooking will be difficult. So we should use pressure cooker or vessel with a lid (pressure inside will increase and results in increase of boiling point)

The idea is to have some kind of oil substance so the pasta will not stick together. Add the pasta and stir in the warm water. Turn on the rice cooker. Pasta may require more water to complete cooking, if this is the case then add more water and start the cooking cycle one more time. Drain pasta when it is finished, drain and serve.After the pasta is finished cooking remove all the pasta and unplug the cooker. After the cooker has cooled remove the inner pot and submerge in some hot soapy water. Do not submerge the exterior of the cooker in water. Take a damp cloth and wipe down the lid and the surface of the cooker. Do not spray cleaner directly on the external part of the cooker. Cleaners contain poisons and they may get inside the cooker. If there is any rice or food on the cookers hot plate remove this by using a light sandpaper material. Do not use scouring powder or an abrasive sponge as a cleaner for the cooker. Be gentle when using these as you do not want to cause scratches on the hot plate.Remember these tips for the rice cookers: clean the cooker after each use, do not submerge the external cooker in water, do not use spray cleaners on the external cooker, and do not use abrasive cleaners.If the rice cooker is cleaned after each use there should not be a problem or use for abrasive cleaners.
