The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook

I haven’t had time to try many of the recipes in this cookbook but there are many helpful hints for someone new to pressure cooking, which describes me.  I didn’t know how to adapt for different textures and times of cooking for ingredients. This book tells you how to do that.  There are quite a few recipes in here that I plan to try. Also the hints in here will help me to adapt some of my recipes to the pressure cooker.  I would recommend this book to someone new to pressure cooking or old pros. There is a wide variety of interesting recipes, with a lot of pictures, which I like, I’m a visual person, I don’t like cookbooks without pictures. Thank you to net galley for an advanced copy of this cookbook.

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  From the publisher - 														
Pressure cookers are undergoing a stunning revival—with an electric twist. The new electric pressure cookers are fast-cooking devices that make it possible to come home from work and have a home-cooked, healthy dinner on the table in 15 or 20 minutes. They are easy, safe, and packed with features that previous generations’ stovetop models did not have. They offer the shortest route from here to dinner!
In the book, the world’s leading blogger on pressure cooking, Barbara Schieving (of the blog PressureCookingToday.com), has created over 200 new family-friendly recipes that are big on flavor, imaginative in their variety, and easy to make, featuring lots of fresh, natural, and nutritious ingredients.
These recipes are written for any electric pressure cooker, whether the Instant Pot or the popular models from Cuisinart, Fagor, Power Pressure Cooker, T-fal, and other makers. 

How interesting to review I book that I already have bought and used as I LOVe MY INSTANT POT!!!! There are recipes that you are going to use time and time again ... yummy simple, nutritious and easy. 

 If you own a pressure cooker, you need this book!!!

Very popular, electric pressure cookers look like a real solution to time-starved cooks. But all too many cookbooks for these devices disappoint.

This one doesn't. It's full of delicious looking and sounding recipes that mirror the reality of how many of us actually cook. There are tons of recipes for chicken, recipes using convenience foods, and recipes that can be done quickly.

The book will be a great help to home cooks.

I recently purchased an Instant Pot and have already used made a variety of things. I made yogurt and it was a success, the best yogurt that I have tasted. I then went on to make steel cut oats. Another success. I have looked through this book, on my ipad, and found a lot of recipes that I would enjoy making. The only problem I had was technical, I had one heck of a time downloading the book. I was able to get it on my ipad but not on any other ereader. Other than that I am extremely happy ordering this book at some point. I think it is a good resource for the Pressure Cooker fan!

I have sang my praise of my Instant Pot (pressure cooker) many times, but I do sometimes lack inspiration for recipes for the pot (and in general, to be honest). I'm all for trawling the internet for recipes, and there are of course some FANTASTIC recipes out there, but finding a great collection of pressure cooker recipes all together is great news. Enter: The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook.

Now, I am trying to eat mostly vegetarian due to my boyfriend being veggie (though he eats fish now and then), but I don't mind meaty recipes once in a while. This recipe book does seem to have mostly meat recipes, but they look great (that Braised Paprika Chicken is calling out to me for a day when I'm cooking just for myself)  and there are some brilliant-looking desserts (the Key Lime Pie and Vanilla Lover's Cheesecake look amazing, and I've tried the peanut butter cup cheesecake already and it. was. heaven!). Plus I've no doubt many of the recipes can be adapted to be meat-free with vegetables or quorn; you'll just have to guess at the cooking time which is the only issue. I am intending to make the Linguine and Clam sauce soon for a dinner party, for an easy but impressive pasta-based meal!

This book is a great introduction to the world of pressure cooking, with a good mix of difficulties in terms of recipes. There are plenty of lovely photos to accompany the recipes and clear instructions which appealed to me - nothing worse than a recipe getting reaaaal confusing halfway through. There are also handy tips for a lot of recipes. Just beware that many of these recipes give quantities in ounces, cups etc, whereas us Brits generally prefer grams - shouldn't be too hard to convert cups to grams though!

So, if you're looking for lots of great recipes, perhaps mainly catering for carnivores but still sounding delicious, look no further!

Thanks to Harvard Common Press for providing a copy of this novel on which I chose to write an honest and unbiased review.

Filled with 200 recipes from breakfast to dinner to dessert, who knew cooking with an Instant Pot could be so simple.

The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook is a great resource for those people lucky enough to own an Instant Pot or other brand of electric pressure cooker. The author explains that the recipes can also be easily adapted for a stove top pressure cooker too. The recipes are easy to follow and include only ingredients most pantries will have on hand. The introduction includes a very nice discussion about how the appliance works. The best part, of course, are the recipes. Who can resist trying Triple Chocolate Cheesecake, Coq au Vin or Beef Stroganoff made quicker and easier within an Instant Pot? Or cooking dried beans for truly homemade Red Beans and Rice in only an hour? Yum!

The recipes all sound delicious. Having the index organized by main ingredient (i.e., beef, chocolate, zucchini) makes it easy to see what options are available based on what the reader has on hand. Their are many vegetarian and gluten-free recipe options though there is no labeling of the recipes. The only drawbacks are there is no nutritional information provided and pictures are infrequent. 

I tried a few of the recipes (Corned Beef and Cabbage, Red Beans and Rice, Quick Turkey Chili) with excellent results. I highly recommend this cookbook for both experienced electric pressure cooker users and newbies like myself. 

Thanks to the publisher, Quarto Books-Harvard Common Books, and NetGalley for an advanced reader copy.

THIS is the book that should be included with every electric pressure cooker when it is despatched to customers.  Although I have been using my Tefal Cook4Me for nearly a year now, I never *really* got to grips with the range of possibilities it offers or, indeed, how much easier it could be making my life, until reading Barbara Schieving's excellent book on this topic.  Not just a cookbook, but a real 'how to' manual.  Having said this, it is also a really useful cookbook, with a wide range of recipes.  

I received a digital review copy from the publisher in exchange for an unbiased review and so sat down and went through the whole thing one recipe at a time.  Although I have not yet had the chance to try them yet, I found myself bookmarking page after page to come back to and try.  In some cases, it was because Barbara Schieving had shown me a far easier way of making one of our family favourites (e.g. Shepherd's pie) but more often than not it was because she had tempted me to try things I've not made before.  There is a wide selection of Mexican dishes, and enough tempting chicken recipes here to keep us going all winter.  

In a few cases, these recipes do specify ingredients I have never seen in a UK supermarket, but I was always able to think of a quick substitution.  In the main, everything here should be available to us.   

There were so many time-saving, hands-free things here it simply would never have occurred to me to try in my pressure cooker - hard-boiled eggs, fish en papillote. stacking pasta and a sauce in the machine to cook at the same time.  Better still, pumpkin pie, cheesecakes, and brownies?!  What's not to love?

It was my husband who bought our pressure cooker, because he saw Heston Blumenthal using one on Australian Masterchef (no really...that's how it ended up in our house).  Since then it has been sitting in a dark corner on the worktop and I have been using it to steam potatoes for mash now and then.  But this book as shown me the way forward and I am *almost* looking forward to figuring out what to make for dinner tonight!

My Instant Pot pressure cooker has been such a Godsend, so I've started collecting these types of cookbooks like they're going out of style. If you've never owned a pressure cooker, I encourage you to buy one...like, yesterday. Our home life is busy and oftentimes very chaotic, so it really helps to have one less thing to worry about every day, such as dinner. With my Instant Pot, I have a meal on the table in half the time it took me before to prepare it. It's the greatest thing since sliced bread - seriously.

This cookbook is another one I'm glad I added to my collection because there are a ton of great recipes. It also contains a lot of good information about pressure cookers, in general, and how to work the controls and properly care for them. This book would be an awesome gift for newlyweds or even a college student moving into a dorm or apartment. The possibilities are endless and there's something in it for everyone. I've tried four recipes so far - Very Berry Steel Cut Oats, Shredded Chicken Taco Filling, Cheesy Baked Chicken Taquitos, and Old Fashioned Potato Salad - and there were all amazing and easy to prepare. I love that the author includes cooking tips with each recipe, and the photos are bright and colorful and make a good visual aid. The ingredients I've used so far have been every day items found in my local Kroger, and that's another big bonus in my book.

I would recommend this cookbook to everyone, and I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.

I think this is the best pressure cooker book of recipes I have seen. Eclectic in the variety, from simple to a little more challenging, ranging from sides to desserts to Sunday Night Dinners, this book has it all. 

I already bookmarked recipes like crazy, including Strawberry Applesauce, Baked Potatoes, Creamy Red Lentil Soup, Chunky Potato Soup, and several more.. As a vegetarian, I noticed there are many meat-based recipes (I think that's common with pressure cooking), but there were still enough veggie only recipes to keep me happy. I love using my pressure cooker to make soups and am always looking for new ways to incorporate using it, and this cookbook will be a real treat to use. 

Thank you to Barbara Schieving, the publisher, and Netgalley for the opportunity to review this wonderful cookbook.

I am reviewing this book for Barbara Schieving, Quarto Publishing, and NetGalley who gave me a copy of their book for an honest review. 
We’ve just started using our pressure cooker again so this came along at the perfect time. There are some gorgeous recipes in there which I can’t wait to try. In fact (I’ve just looked through the list of recipes again) and there are only a few which don’t appeal to me … take this as a huge complement as it’susually the complete opposite.

Easy to make delicious recipes with your Electric pressure cooker....... wonderful..........

Oooh my goodness.  What an exceptional cookbook that gives new meaning to using your electric pressure cooker.  I can not wait to get started on some of these recipes.

There's such a bewildering array of small (and large) kitchen appliances and gadgets available, it's often difficult or impossible to really know what is worth buying. I remember my grandmother's pressure cooker and the hissing scary noises it made. We never actually had any major mishaps when I was a kid, but everyone knew someone who had an explosive situation from a badly vented pressure cooker. That was then, this is now...

With the safety and materials updates modern pressure cookers have undergone, the old fashioned pressure cookers are a thing of the past. Today's electric pressure cookers come in a bewildering array of finishes, some nonstick, with all kinds of bells and whistles. Some even double as slow cookers, rice cookers and yogurt makers.

The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook , by Barbara Schieving published by Harvard Common Press is a reassuring and encyclopedic look at the various pressure cooker options along with bells and whistles, as well as a cookbook with recipes which have been tested and adjusted specifically to pressure cooking.

The book is set up very logically with a preface and introduction covering the theory of pressure cooking (why it does what it does), specific models, and a very good how-to section. The introduction covers roughly 10% of the page content. The following chapters are arranged by types of food: breakfasts, sandwiches/wraps/tacos, soups, shortcut dinners, 30 minute meals, Sunday suppers, sides, and desserts. There are over 200 recipes, certainly enough to keep most cooks busy and experimenting for ages. One of the things I really liked about this book was how many variations there were and how easily the recipes could be altered and mixed up for completely different presentations.

I had no idea my pressure cooker was so versatile and had only cooked chicken and pot roast in it previously. When reviewing cookbooks, I try to test out at least 3 recipes. In this case, I tried the Maple-Almond-Raisin Breakfast Risotto (p. 42), which came out beautifully cooked and moist. My kids have begged for a reprise constantly since... it could definitely become a family favorite. We also tested the shredded chicken tacos (p. 49). They were fine, and this recipe is suitable for experimentation, barbecue, smoked flavor, etc.

I have never used a pressure cooker for dessert/baking before... So I decided to try out the peanut butter cup cheesecake (p. 284). My pressure cooker needed a second 5 minute round of cooking in order to get the internal temp up to 150F in the center, but after that, everything went fine and the cheesecake was firm and smooth and delicious. I have plans to repeat the recipe for a work potluck dinner coming up soon.

The recipes seem varied and well made. There are a lot of Asian American, southwest/tex-mex, Italian, and lots of 'American comfort food' dishes. Good solid family food. The food and recipes are photographed very well. It's not fussy or overdone.

The recipe chapters are followed by acknowledgement and bio pages as well as a short index.

Four and a half stars. I am absolutely sure my pressure cooker is going to get a lot more airplay from now on.

I recently purchased an electric pressure cooker and am always on the lookout for a great collection of recipes that are both time savers and delicious.  Barbara Schieving's The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook is fantastic.  I've reviewed a few pressure cooker cookbooks now and what I like about this one is (A) the variety of types of recipes and (B) it is not specific to the Instant Pot.  I know that Instant Pots are very popular right now but this cookbook is geared at any electric pressure cooker, which is nice.  Like most other cookbooks, each chapter is based on a type of food (soup, mains, etc...). What this book has that others I've seen do not is a whole section of using the pressure cooker to make prepared foods.  For example, how to cook frozen Asian dumplings (gyoza) with a recipe for citrus dipping sauce, or cooking packaged tortellini, or spaghetti and meatball using prepared sauce.  I would recommend this book for those looking for a good selection of recipes.

I voluntarily read this advanced readers copy of this cookbook.  I loved it and the recipes that it had.  There were a lot of them that I could use and loved.  I so can't wait to use them again.

Schieving's collection has a variety of easy and creative recipes for the latest trendy kitchen gadget, the Instapot. I'm already an avid using of my electric pressure cooker, but beginner's should have no issue with these recipes. Beautiful photographs are displayed next to many of the recipes.

I got my first electric pressure cooker for Christmas and wanted to use it but wasn't sure where to start.  I love all the information in the beginning, it really helped me learn about my pressure cooker.  There's a good variety of recipes that use common ingredients which makes it even easier for someone like me to start cooking.  I can't wait to try different recipes!

This book is a great choice for someone with an electric pressure cooker. There are a wide variety of recipes and they us different techniques. There are a lot of photos, and the recipes are clear and easy to follow.

I used this book to decide if I wanted to buy an electric pressure cooker.  The recipes are deleicious and easy to follow.  I recommend it and the pressure cooker!!

My hubby and I received an Instant Pot as a gift and are looking for recipes that are easy to follow, as we are nowhere near professional cooks!  This book lays out the recipes in easy to follow steps.  We have only made 2 recipes so far and both came out delicious.  I have more to try and am definitely going to recommend this book to friends and family who are looking for new and easy to follow recipes.

This book has many easy and delicious looking recipes.  It also includes a lot of great tips and tricks for using a pressure cooker.  I great staple for anyone with an Instant Pot!

Great, user-friendly recipes that will make your mouth water as you search for your weekly menu ideas.  You could plan to use them at the next potluck that you are attending and impress the many or for coffee/tea time with a friend.  The options are endless and the recipes are plenty.  Take a look at your own copy today.  
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
