1 Pressure Cooker, 3 Easy Recipes

This recipe series is brought to you by community news service COLlive and Kettle & Cord, the home essentials store in Crown Heights. Today Beth Warren presents 3 easy recipes to make in a Chefman pressure cooker.

Pressure cookers are an easy and delicious way to prepare meals in a hurry. The heat of the steam coupled with the pressure inside the chamber cooks food faster than other cooking methods, and creates a caramelization and deep flavor profile that other cooking methods don’t.

Today Beth Warren presents 3 of her favorite pressure cooker recipes: Home-rub Pepper Steak, Almond & Cherry Wild Rice and Lemony Artichokes.
