New to pressure cooking? Here is some information you might find really helpful! I've tried to make this a quick read while still being VERY informative! I have an Instant Pot brand pressure cooker, so most of this is geared towards that specific brand but it's pretty universally applicable! Pressure cooking time: 1) When you see a Pressure Cooker recipe that gives a cooking time , understand this is NOT the total amount of time it will take to cook your food. There are actually THREE time periods times to know and understand: (a) Amount of time to come to pressure (b) Actual Cooking Time. (c) Natural Pressure Release Time (NPR) Recipes specify actual Cooking Time, and may also refer to a Natural Pressure Release Time. The amount of time to come to pressure (a) varies and is dependent on the amount of food and liquid in the pot, the size of the pot, and the initial temperature of the food and liquid. This can vary...
