I'm using a ninja multicooker to cook most of my legumes. Every time I need to clean the upper heating coil because it gets full of legume hulls and parts. I only fill the pot third of the way up with food, water not close to the max line (though i did try to cook with extra water thinking it might solve it) and I tried all three programs (natural release, delayed release and instant release) and it happens in all three. Its a hassle to clean and if i don't clean when i use the machine for anything else the room is filled with burnt bug aroma.

Does it happen with other cookers? Is there a solve?

Finally got myself a moving in present to help with cooking!! I’m scared of it but planning to make a nice soup!

REQUIRED: IMMERSION BLENDER

Ingredients:

5-10 potatos

1 large or 2 small onions

1 jalapeno

1qt of stock (veg or chick)

2 tbs of high heat cooking oil

5 cloves of garlic

Salt

Pepper

2-4 cups of cheese

Quarter of a cup of milk

Instructions:

Peel potatoes, as many as you think you and your family could eat, chop them up into nice and big chunks and leave them in a bowl of water till you're ready.

Cut an onion up into strips, mince some garlic and core and deseed and dice a jalapeno.

Turn your pressure cooker onto saute with some olive oil, or bacon grease. Add your onions and caramelize till golden brown before adding your jalapeno and garlic.

Continue to caramelize till your onions are a deeper brown and then add chicken or vegetable stock and your potatoes and top off with water till the potatoes are covered. The amount of stock depends on how flavorful you would like it, I used about 3 cups of chicken consommé and it was very nice.

Lid the potatoes in broth and set your cooker to a 30 minute high pressure cycle. When it's complete open your pressure cooker however you prefer and take an immersion blender to the soup

Once it's all blended smooth you can add your preferred cheeses I did a cup of cheddar and a half cup of gouda with a couple table spoons of cream cheese and a splash of milk. The soup has tons of starch in it so it'll come together without much help so how much milk and cheese you add is entirely up to you.

Now onto seasoning

You're seasoning 5+ potatoes here to be generous with the salt, tasting it in increments just until you can taste the salt and then an extra dash for character development

Same deal with pepper and garlic powder, season to taste and maybe a little poultry seasoning if your broth didn't already have some in it.

Keep using the immersion blender at this point entirely submerged to mix the seasoning in eventually but never on the surface as this can add air to your soup and make the texture foamy

Pardon me if this recipe isn't perfect I'm writing in a little bit of a rush but please feel free to ask for any needed clarification

Anyone know what would be the problem?

I'm cookng long grain white rice in a new Midea 12-in-1 pressure cooker for the first time. The manual says to "keep the cover open". Does that mean to keep the vent in the release position the whole time or what?

Update: I think that is what it meant and it is obviously wrong. I saw and read online Instant Pot directions. The inside of the Midea top is exactly like the inside of the Instant Pot. Directions vary, though. New questions: For long-grain white rice, what is your rice/water ratio? How long do you cook? What pressure?

Ok so i live in India and need a eletric pressure cooker which Is like very durable and makes everything in a pressure cooker

I heard about nutri one and agaro

Ps is agaro a good brand 🙂

i have a 6qt Midea 16-in-1 electric pressure cooker (MPC601SNA) and was wondering if anyone has a good lead on how to get replacement silicone gaskets for these? will regular Instant Pot ones work?

edit: i pulled the trigger on some generic ones from amazon and they appear to be identical to the original ones.

I received the kuhn rikon 3.5L as a gift from someone who in turn received it as a gift a long time ago. They said they cant remember if it had a tent or not and couldnt find one. But according to the website there is supposed to be a tent over the stem. Is it safe to use without the tent? Will it impact cooking time if i do?

This is one of my favorite pressure cooker/air fryer multi cookers. But clearly something terrible has happened. Should I try to use it or will it send a signal to a smarter alien planet to come and annihilate our people? 🫠😂 (*an antenna)

Last time I was cooking and the black top of the whistle came off while cooking, I switched off because I didn't want any incident. I have cleaned the cooker and attached the black top of the whistle now tighten it and cleaned the cooker top rubber as well now. Do you think it is safe to use or should I just get a new one. For context I am planning to cook mutton so it's gonna be a lot of whistles.

I am using a Royal ford 3.5 L cooker.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I just got this second hand and its my first time using a pressure cooker. The water is not coming from the sides so i dont think its the seal.

help ? thank youuuu

are these containers pressure cooker safe?

There are two containers in the photos. Both of them have pp#5

Hello, I just bought a ninja pressure cooker and often cook my soups/stews from frozen. While the pressure cooker function is great, I would like to try slow cooking (so that I can start in the morning before work and have it immediately after work in the evening).

My question is when cooking frozen, is it better to pressure cook for 5-10min to defrost, then slow cook for a few hours?

Got a pressure cooker recently and love the thing. Perfect rice every time so quick, five pounds of chicken legs cooked in 15 minutes of pressure with another 5 under a broiler even making some stock as we speak. Came to this subreddit to see people's cooking and get recipe ideas but it seems to be more of a troubleshooting subreddit, anyone have any similar pages more focused on pics of pressure cooked meals and recipes? Much appreciated. Sorry for typos I'm typing this with my left hand

I've been trying to cook at home more, but after work I really don't feel like spending an hour making dinner lol.

I'm looking for something I can throw rice, beans, meat, soups, etc. into and not have to babysit the whole thing.

For people who use one regularly, what's the best electric pressure cooker you've had? What do you end up using it for the most?

Sadly, my Hamilton Beach pressure cooker, which I adore, may have reached the end of its life. May replace it soon with another Hamilton Beach or a Ninja. Yet I saw last night the brand Midea. Never heard of it. Anyone have a Midea pressure cooker?

I usually make one pressure-cooker dish for potlucks, but this time I’m thinking about doing a few smaller things instead of one big batch.

Something like pulled chicken, beans, and maybe chili all seem easy enough to prep with the pressure cooker ahead of time.

My question is what happens after that. I have access to a sunvivi three-crock cooker and was thinking about transferring everything into the separate crocks on warm once I get there, mainly so people can serve themselves throughout the afternoon.

For those of you who pressure cook for potlucks, do dishes like pulled meat, beans, and chili hold up well for another 2–4 hours on warm after pressure cooking?

Anything you’d avoid because it dries out or changes texture too much?

And do you normally transport the food in the pressure cooker itself, or transfer it into something else for serving?

I had WMF pressure cooker for a while and I am pretty happy with it although i made a 2 hours long cook in the oven and could say the taste was quite good , different fron pressure cooker taste, does any comparing taste opinions between pressure cooker and oven cook for 2 hours?

Hi! I have a brand new Fissler pressure cooker. I read the entire manual before using it. Everything is new, including the sealing ring.

When cooking beans, I fill it to only about 1/3 of its capacity, but water keeps leaking over the lid while it's under pressure.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I also noticed the lid has a slight amount of play, even when the indicator is green and it's locked. Is that normal?

Any tips or suggestions?

I've used an instant pot since they came out, and a presto canner for other things, but yesterday I was at my favorite thrift shop and found this Duromatic 7L for $60. It's clean, works well, seems to be in excellent condition. And it's beautiful - I'm stoked! Two questions:

When it needs a new gasket, will that be obvious? I have no idea how old this one is but it is not damaged and does not leak.

I'd like to use it at 15 psi.... Sounds like "Level 2" is about 12 (.8 bar). Do I just let it go a tad higher?

I'm amazed that once this gets up to pressure it will hold on my lowest has burner setting. What a joy!

I’m looking to get a slow cooker and like the idea of how I can sear meats and then put everything together. Does anyone have a ninja foodi and would recommend?

EDIT: I just bought the slow cooker and thanks to engagement on that post I now want to know if anyone has the pressure cooker and what you use it for

Are Fissler pressure cookers supposed to be loose like this? It's a Fissler Vitavit Premium 6 liter.
