Click HERE to download this 2 page handout with tips and tricks for your pressure cooker along with a couple recipes to try. I didn’t put general cook times for basic items (like rice, meat, etc.) because you should check your owners manual for those as each pressure cooker can be different.

Okay, I hope you’re loving all the videos so far because today we’re getting into the really fun stuff and there are THREE more videos!  (If you missed the first day of this class, make sure you click HERE so you don’t miss a thing!)  You’ll be able to see for yourself how EASY it is to start cooking basic items in your pressure cooker to save you time in the kitchen! Check out the videos below to see just how easy it is to cook beans, rice, and wheat berries in a pressure cooker. Make sure if you have a different pressure cooker than I do that you reference YOUR owner’s manual for specific times and measurements for these items. I’ve also added some homework items for you (yes, I said homework! I want you to actually TRY these concepts for yourself!) they are fun recipes you can try that I like to use OR you can try your own recipe. Make sure to leave a comment with successes and questions so we all can learn from each other!
