Favorite Pressure Cooker Uses/Recipes

[Franzisaurus_Rex]

Just got a standalone, electric pressure cooker and am looking for some inspiration.  Have made stock (good), black beans (awesome!), and a whole chicken (very unhappy with results).  

 

What are your favorite recipes/uses for your pressure cooker?

I use mine for stock mostly.  Usually chicken  backs carcasses after removing the other parts.  Just made corn stock the other day from a big bag of cobs.  Amazing how sweet it was.   Will use a PC for chickpeas when making hummus but with other beans like black beans I like to cook traditionally to infuse more flavor in them

Stews, split pea soup, cabbage soup.

Short ribs, hands down.

Beef Chili with large chunks of Chuck.

Pulled Chili Chicken breast for Taco's and Nacho's

Beef Cheeks.  So many...

My contribution to the xlnt hippressurecooking.com website. You will have to adjust the time to compensate for an electric PC.

I don't have an electric pressure cooker but with my stove top Fisslers the most common tasks are dried beans in canning jars, potatoes, artichokes -- and of course thirty second green beans.

 

Oatmeal in the winter.

 

The pressure cooker is also great for rendering lard by the Modernist Cuisine technique.

Thank you @JoNorvelleWalker for 30 second green beans.  These are amazing.  I do them now this way all the time hovering over my IP until my timer goes off and I can immediately release the pressure.  I then throw then into a hot frying pan with some butter, salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar and a bit of freshly ground nutmeg, toss with tongs until butter is melted and serve.  Thus takes maybe 5 seconds and because It's so quick, the beans do not cook further.

Thanks, all!  You have contributed to several months of happy cooking!
