Pressure cooker



Recommended Posts

Can the people who cook their meats and veggies using a pressurecooker chime in. I was wondering how tender and moist the meat comes out. I think it would be good for the sleeve.

I have a friend who uses a pressure cooker send she swears by it. Less nutition escapes from veggies, cooks faster. And meat tender. Good idea. I want to get one.

I've been thinking of getting a pressure cooker for that reason...meats come out tender. I use my slow cooker now, and it's great for that as well...but the PC cooks it quicker...

I can't wait to hear what people have to say on this subject! Thanks for adding it to todays list :)

I have one but I don't know how to use it so when I get to the point where I can tolerate meat I will have to look up a tutorial on youtube on how to use it.

And I believe that you can put any cut of meat like big chicken cutlets or whatever and the nutrients stay locked into the meat same with the veggies. This is unchartered territory for me so I'm excited and happy.

I have used pressure cookers for years and I love them. Just make sure you read the directions on your particular model and learn to cool it down before taking the top off. We don't want any explosions I make home made chicken Soup in mine and it takes maybe an hour where it would take hours cooking the conventional way. The meat and veggies get so tender and the taste is delicious. I've bought some cheap cuts of meat and cooked them in the pressure cooker and they are so tender you can cut them with a fork, And as some of the others have said, the nutrients are still in the food. You will love it.

I have been thinking of getting one myself. My grandmother always cooked with the old manual style pressure cooker and I remember some of the best roast beef I ever had in my life. hopefully I can recreate that with one of these new pressure cookers.

I love my pressure cooker, I just need to build up my list of recipes for it! Most often I make pulled pork with a tenderloin, and some salsa or a pouch of taco sauce (I love the new Frontera sauces). It goes into an enchilada for my husband, and for me I just add a few black Beans and a sprinkle of cheese, lettuce and Tomato. It freezes well too! It's so much faster than a crock pot, and very very tender and moist.

I just recently purchased the book Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook for Dummies. excellent book by the way but while searching for it, I found several cookbooks for pressure cookers as well as a Pressure Cooker recipes for Dummies book. Thought some of you might be interested in some of these to help with your pressure cooking. Good luck to everyone. Eat nutritiously!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
