Why You Need an Electric pressure cooker Miracle in Your Home

Ever dreamt of making a tasty and healthy meal in a snap, especially when you’re in a hurry? Well, the electric pressure cooker is the surest way to make your dream come true! Forget about running around like a headless chicken trying to find the right ingredients and whipping them up together to make a decent meal for dinner when your shoulders can barely stay upright because of how tired you are. We are talking about, throwing in all your ingredients in one cooker to make the yummiest, well done meal in minutes!

Here are some more benefits of cooking using an electric pressure cooker that will have you going to buy one immediately after this if you don’t already have one.

Delicious and nutritious dishes

Usually, meats and fresh vegetables are cooked in an electric pressure cooker for a few minutes, at a high temperature. As a result, nutrition-packed juices from the meats and veggies are released and retained as there is no escape through steam meaning you get the best of flavors and nutrients.

Saves a lot of your time

Perhaps the most attractive thing about using an electric pressure cooker is the fact that you are not going crazy in the kitchen over a pot of food, checking it after every few minutes so it doesn’t burn. The only thing you may have to do with this cooker, especially if you are cooking meat, is to brown it in some oil over a stove top, if you want to have some great color in your stew then throw in all the ingredients in your pot and come back to it once the cooking time is over.

Timeless

An electric pressure cooker is one of the kitchen equipment you can use all year round for many years to come and is not just limited to hot bowls of soup and stews for winter. You can also use it to make yummy desserts and casseroles to be enjoyed during the summer with the beauty being you can use it in place of the oven during summer so you don’t make an already sweltering kitchen hotter than it already is. Or, better still, you can leave a casserole or meal of choice cooked before you go have fun at the beach, or somewhere else cooler then come back to a ready meal.

Easy to freeze

Most meals that are cooked in an electric pressure cooker can be easily packed and stored in your freezer to be eaten at a later date; saving you even more time.

Great Tips for Using Your Electric pressure cooker

Prep in advance

If your mornings are usually busy, prepare everything that you are going to need for your meal the night before. When using an electric pressure cooker, your ingredients should ideally be at room temperature, or as close to it as possible. So, you can take out your ingredients from the fridge, immediately you get up in the morning and leave them to warm up for about 20-30 minutes before turning on your pot. Cook your meals in minutes before leaving. You’ll come back to a healthy meal in the evening.

Trim excess fat

The beauty of using an electric pressure cooker is you don’t need to add any oil to your meals, especially if they are meat based. They won’t stick to the bottom for as long as there is enough moisture in the in the pot. Usually when you cook meat on the stove top, the fat tends to drain away on its own but this is not the case in an electric pressure cooker and if you don’t trim off the excess fat, you may end up with pools of oil in your stew.

For a tastier and healthier result, trim off the excess fat.

Go easy on the soup

When cooking using an electric pressure cooker, the moisture doesn’t evaporate since it cooks with a tightly sealed lid all through. When adapting a recipe that’s typically cooked on stove top, it’s advisable to reduce the liquid content by about a third. As a rule of thumb, the soup/ liquid should only just cover the ingredients. Otherwise, overfilling your pot with soup or liquid may lead to a leakage from the top and risk your food not cooking as well as it should.

When filling your pot with ingredients, don’t go past the three quarter-way mark.

Thickening your sauce

The fact that soup doesn’t easily reduce in an electric pressure cooker means that it also doesn’t thicken. If you like your broth or sauces nice and thick, you can roll your meat chunks in flour before browning them and adding them to the pot or alternatively, you can add a bit of cornstarch-water mixture towards the end of your cooking. Add it within the last 5 minutes of cook time.

Don’t be a peeping Tom

Electric pressure cookers are designed to do their own thing. All you need to do is add all your ingredients, seal the lid, turn it on and leave it to cook for the required period. If you keep checking the progress of your meal from time to time, then you are going to have to increase your cook time as every time you take out the lid, you release some heat. Needless to say, it’s very dangerous to open the pot while the pressure is still high and also your meal won’t be as glorious as it would have been had you trusted the electric pressure cooker to do its thing!

When to add ingredients

The best electric pressure cooker recipes, like the ones we are going to share in our next section, are those where most of the ingredients are added at the beginning of the cooking process. This leaves you with a lot of time to do your other things.

CHAPTER 2: EVOLUTION OF VEGANISM

Understanding veganism

In a nutshell, veganism is not a diet, but a lifestyle that completely avoids all animal products and any products that are derived from animals. Extreme veganism goes further to avoid all products that have been tested on animals, including makeup.

This means eliminating foods such as dairy, honey and meat from your diet. The primary purpose of the vegan lifestyle is to restore balance in nature by protecting animals from cruelty and exploitation.

Veganism and vegetarianism are often used interchangeably which is wrong. All vegans are vegetarians but not all vegetarians are vegans. There are different types of vegetarians – vegans, lacto vegetarians (they allow dairy consumption) and ovo vegetarians (allow the consumption of eggs).

In the beginning...

Veganism is not a modern philosophy. The Vegan Society was formed in 1944 but the vegan philosophy has been in existence for much longer with evidence of a vegan lifestyle dating back to over 200 years ago. But, the real concept of a vegan way of life started taking shape in the 19th century with Dr. William Lambe and Bercy Bysshe Shelley objecting to eggs and all dairy from an ethical standpoint.

In the modern day David Watson brought together common minded individuals comprised of non-dairy vegetarians to discuss the health benefits of their lifestyle and this evolved to what we now refer to as veganism.

Archeological evidence shows that some ancient civilizations made the conscious decision not to eat animals. Pythagoras, the Greek poet, followed what we now call the vegan diet in 500BC as he advocated for showing kindness to all species. Around the same time, Buddha was also promoting a vegetarian
