Rice is a popular side dish to a variety of meals. It contains not only complex carbohydrates, which promote a longer feeling of fullness, but also valuable B vitamins. Of course, rice can also be prepared perfectly in a pressure cooker. To do this, mix the desired amount of rice with water in a 1:1 ratio in a solid (non-perforated) insert. Fill the pressure cooker with a little water up to the "Min" mark, place the trivet and insert inside, and bring to a boil on the highest heat setting. As soon as the yellow ring appears, the cooking time of 5-8 minutes on pressure setting 3 begins – depending on the desired firmness. Rice is also excellent for multi-stage cooking in a pressure cooker.
Red and green cabbage are particularly popular (holiday) vegetables during the Christmas season due to their wintry flavor and are very healthy thanks to their high content of vitamin C, iron, and calcium. To best preserve these nutrients during cooking and also save time, preparation in a pressure cooker is recommended.
For this, finely shred the red cabbage and sauté it with the lid off. Season to taste. Add a little red wine and vinegar to the red cabbage up to the "Min" mark inside the pot, close the pressure cooker, and turn the heat to high. As soon as the yellow ring appears, the cooking time of 4-6 minutes at pressure level 3 begins.
Lightly sauté the kale in a pressure cooker. Season with salt and pepper. Then fill the pressure cooker with water up to the "Min" mark. Cook on high for 8-10 minutes at pressure setting 3, starting when the yellow ring appears.
Goulash is a meat dish originating in Hungary. In Germany, it is usually made with beef and served with noodles or potatoes. It is typically cooked for several hours. To save time, it's therefore worthwhile to prepare goulash in a pressure cooker.
To prepare the goulash, sear the desired amount of meat, onions, and bell peppers in a pressure cooker. Then fill the pressure cooker with a mixture of red wine and beef broth (at least 300 ml). Season to taste or according to the recipe. Set the stove to the highest setting. As soon as the yellow ring appears, the cooking time of 20-25 minutes at pressure level 3 begins.
In Germany, the potato is one of the most important staple foods. It is characterized by its versatility in taste, appearance, and preparation. Furthermore, the potato contains not only numerous minerals, such as vitamin C, sodium, iron, and calcium, but also a high carbohydrate content, which makes it very filling. Potatoes can be cooked not only in conventional pots but are also ideally suited for cooking in a pressure cooker.
For this, place the peeled and cut potatoes into equally sized pieces into the insert and salt to taste. Place the tripod and insert in the pressure cooker. Fill the pressure cooker with water until it reaches the "Min" mark. Close the pressure cooker and turn the stove to its highest setting. When the yellow ring appears, the cooking time of 6-8 minutes at pressure setting 3 begins, depending on the size of the potato pieces. For potatoes boiled in their skins, the cooking time is 8-12 minutes. Another advantage: Potatoes are perfect for layer cooking in a pressure cooker.
Beetroot has blood-purifying, blood pressure-lowering, and anti-inflammatory properties. Combined with its abundance of vitamin B, potassium, and iron, it is considered a true superfood. Therefore, it is all the more important that the nutrients are retained during the cooking process instead of being leached out. Cooking in a pressure cooker is particularly beneficial in this regard.
To prepare, peel the beets and place them in the perforated insert of the pressure cooker. Place the insert with the tripod in the pot and fill with water up to the "Min" mark. Close the pressure cooker and bring to a boil on the highest heat setting. The cooking time begins as soon as the yellow ring appears. Depending on the size of the beets, the cooking time is between 20 and 25 minutes on heat setting 2.
Roast beef is a popular dish for Sundays or holidays in Germany. Combined with potatoes, salad, or pasta, it makes an ideal main course. However, its preparation is quite time-consuming, which makes cooking it in a pressure cooker a worthwhile option.
Season and prepare the beef roast as usual. Finely chop all the other ingredients, such as onions and garlic, and sear them together with the meat in a pressure cooker. Deglaze the pot with beef broth and red wine. Bring the pressure cooker to the highest setting. As soon as the yellow ring appears on the pressure regulator, the cooking time of 30-40 minutes (for 500g of meat) begins at pressure setting 3.
