Hi Everyone I joined ww and also just bought a pressure cooker,do any of you have any recipes that I could have that would be on program for my pressure cooker. Thanks Kim

I have never used a pressure cooker -- is it difficult? What are the perks of cooking that way over baking/broiling, etc?

I have one that is really good and a veggie recipe.

Potatoes with twenty clovees of garlic soup

1 TBS olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
20 small or 10 large cloves garlic, peeled (leave whole)
1 cup vegetable stock
1 lb new potatoes (red skinned) cut into chunks
1/2 tsp dried rosemary leaves
1/4 cup pitted, coarsely chopped black olives (optional)
1/4 tsp salt

1. Heat the oil in the cooker and saute the onions and garlic until the onions are soft, about 2 minutes.

2. Add the stock and bring to the boil. Add the potatoes, rosemary, optional olives and salt

3. Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to high pressure. Lower the heat just enough to maintain high pressure an dcook for 5 minutes. Reduce the pressure with a quick-release method. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.

4. Serve the mixture in small bowlss or lift out the solid ingredients with a slotted spoon and serve then on a plate, reserving any leftover liquids for cooking other recipes.

The garlic becomes sooooo sweet and this is really good.

Hope you enjoy.

First of all, it is important that you understand that pressure cookers need sufficient liquid to cook in since this is what will infuse flavor and also, keep the pot from scalding.

Also, I have found that clean up is much easier if you spray even the non-stick p. cookers with some pan at the bottom as well as the sides.

I make an awesome brisket with few ingredients. The smell alone is like heaven!

I use a large pan and sear a good sized brisket like the ones you get at the wholesale Markets like Costco or Sam's in 2 tablespoons of corn oil.

Take the meat out and then place it fat side down in your pre-sprayed with Pam spray pressure cooker.

Place 1 large vidalia or 2 regular peeled and quartered onions and a good 3 or 4shakes garlic powder or granulated garlic which is my personal favorite over the meat and onion.

I then take either 2 -4 oz. or 1- 9 oz. cans tomato sauce store brand works just fine and pour over the meat and onions followed by equal waer s if you use 2 of the 4 oz. cans tomato sauce, pour the same in water just like if you use 1 9 oz. can tomato sauce, use 9 oz. water.

Cover and get the flame or the electric range to high putting the thingy as we call it over the top of the pot.

When it is turning and making that familiar hissing sound, back it off to a gentle rock and cook for 55 minutes.

Ths meat will come out tasting like you can not believe and truthfully, I always have shown a weight loss with this meat which our family has eaten since I was a little girl so this recipe is over 43 years eaten lol!

If I want some potatoes, I take out the meat and peel 5lbs. of potatoes and then use a ripple cutter kinda lookslike Ruffles potato chips only the cut is thicker at about 1/4 inch and place in the existing gravy that the meat was made in and get back to pressure, back down to a gentle rock and cook about 12-15 minutes.

You will not believe how incredible this meal is.

We lovingly call this Perry's Pot Roast after my late Dad, Perry Shultz who unfortunately never saw the Internet and thought that the Commodore 64 and Vic 20 computers would be all that the world would ever have.

Enjoy!
