Adapting Traditional Recipes
to Use in the Innova Pressure
Cooker
It is easy to adapt your favorite recipe for
use in a pressure cooker. For the most
part, soups, stews, braised and slow-
roasted meats and poultry, and slow-sim-
mered recipes, such as tomato sauce and
fruit preserves provide the best results.
Meats and Poultry: When preparing
meats and poultry, brown well in the pres-
sure cooker pot using at least 2 table-
spoons of vegetable or olive oil. Pour off
any excess fat and sautè onions, garlic or
any other vegetables as called for in the
recipe. Add the remaining ingredients and
at least a 1/2 cup of cooking liquid such
as broth, diluted tomato puree or wine.
Soups: Soups are quick and easy to pre-
pare. Add meat, poultry or seafood to the
pressure cooker along with any desired
vegetables, herbs and spices. Add liquid
ingredients, fi lling pressure cooker only
halfway.
Tomato Sauce and Fruit Preserves:
When preparing tomato sauce, sautè min-
ced onion and/or garlic. Add and brown
the meats as specifi ed in the recipe. Add
the strained or pureed tomatoes, fi lling the
pressure cooker only halfway. Position lid
and lock in place. Cook for 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and let pressure drop
naturally. Season with salt and pepper to
taste.
To make fruit preserves, place the fruit
in the pressure cooker with the desired
quantity of sugar. Let sit one hour to re-
lease natural juices of fruit. Bring to a boil,
uncovered. Stir well and add other ingre-
dients as indicated in your recipe. Position
lid and lock in place. Cook for 8 minutes.
Remove from heat and let pressure drop
