Electric pressure cooker ordered.

[rdevous]

 
I ordered a Fagor stainless steel 3-in-1 6-quart multi-cooker from Amazon ($119.95 free shipping) yesterday evening.
I am looking for any good recipes (especially black beans and rice) you can part with.....I am even willing to take a death oath to never pass on a recipe if needed!!!   :-X

Ray,

This website has a bunch of recipes for pressure cookers   http://missvickie.com/recipes/recipeframe.html

I have this and two other cookbooks by this author -- they have alot of good recipes  http://www.amazon.com/Cooking-Under-Pressure-20th-Anniversary/dp/0061707872/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282038466&sr=8-11   

I'll see if I can find a black bean & rice recipe tonight.  Beans do great in the pressure cooker.   

I'm sure Squirt will be along also - he is the pressure cooker king :)

Hardly a king of anything..   :D

But I do love my pressure cooker.    I'll dig up a couple posts where I used mine.


This is another good cookbook (same author as the one from Deb's link)




And here are a few more, some you can browse online:

Don't have a pressure cooker (they still scare me) but make black beans and rice now and then.  I think this came from recipezaar.com and gives a good idea of how much of what to put in.  I usually precook dried beans instead of canned, but this is a good starter.  I'm guessing it should be easy to convert to pressure cooker instructions:

SERVES 4

   * 2 tablespoons olive oil
   * 3/4 cup chopped onion
   * 1/3 cup chopped green pepper
   * 3 cloves of minced garlic
   * 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (undrained)
   * 3/4 cup water
   * 1 teaspoon oregano
   * 1/4 teaspoon sugar
   * 1 package sazon goya (without annato *see note)
   * 1 tablespoon cooking wine or cider vinegar
   * 2 cups cooked white rice

  1. Heat oil in a medium sauce pan, sauté onion, green pepper, and garlic.
  2. Sauté until tender@8-10 minutes.
  3. Add in remaining ingredients and stir until boiling, reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced@ 20 minutes.
  4. Serve over white rice.
  5. I like to mash a few of the beans with the back of a spoon to flavor the sauce.
  6. Note: if you do not have Sazòn Goya an appropriate substitute would be 2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp chicken bouillon, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt

Here is the electric PC we use.

[ArnieM]

Ray, you did me in.  I ordered the unit from overstock.com.  I'm a member and so got a few bucks off, cash back and free shipping.

My ancient PC was a PITA on the stove top.  I used it for canning.  I hope this one is easier to use - plus non-stick.

Fagor 3-1 Cooker came an hour ago. There is a recipe for black bean and confetti rice in the booklet that has some drool on it now!!!  ::)
Well made, sturdy unit.

Glad you're happy.  Mine is due on Monday, 8/30.  I'm looking forward to some Texas red.

Arnie,
 
I see happiness is your near future.

Can you believe there is NO bean soup or chili recipe in the booklet???

The two cookbooks I ordered from Borders are due this Thursday.

That's a bummer.  I found this chili recipe from Alton Brown online.  Looks decent and there's NO beans in it:  http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/pressure-cooker-chili-recipe/index.html

Let me know how you like your cooker and feel free to plagerize any recipes you like  ;D
