PC HELP

[goldfish]

    Guess who bought the AWW PC book . .  . now having second thoughts about the PC itself. . . .all I can remember is the hissing, steaming monster with my mother lifting a strange looking thing on top of the cooker with a fork . . . .scared the *^&%#$#^ out of me . .   The recipes in the AWW book look really good . . . you have to hand it to the AWW - they test the ^&%$ out of their recipes!!

Goldfish, you have to buy a pc now.LOL

The electric one doesnt jump, or make scary noises like my mums. It gets to pressure on its own etc. i manually let the steam out, but I think if I left it, it would do it itself

Cant wait for my book to arrive.

I have beef, lamb, chicken & pork.

What looks good

I am going to try beef nachos in the pc today. Using a combination of frozzies & aww recipes.

Does anyone know after browning the mince how many mins 500g mince will take in the pc.

Thanks

Get out bed, good start

Throw chicken pieces & veg & stock in pc. Pressure high, 20 mins, soup?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like it will Hally, there is a great looking chicken and vegetable soup in the WW cookbook that you could look at for times.

[judydawn]

Hally you could google a chicken soup in the pressure cooker and I'm sure you would come up with times etc whilst you are waiting for your books to be delivered.

[Halex]

No books yet

So have just thrown it all in, probably not enough stock but I have some boxed stock if needed can be added later.

If this works out, to me this s great for soup when your in a hurry or not well.

I chopped all the veg in the TM, plus the chicken.

 

[Wonder]

Sorry Halley I didnt realize you still didn't ave your books.

[Halex]

Hope they come this week.

Its now releasing the steam, very interested in seeing how this turns out.

End result, very tasty soup with no effort or love put in. Just threw what I could find it that was easy.

1large spoon of garlic paste, Teninas
Approx 500g chicken
2 celery stalks
2 carrots
1 large onion
1 leek
1 small turnip
1 litre of chicken stock
S&P

20 mins pressure high. Took about 10 mins to release the pressure.

So quick & easy when you need a healrhy soup when have no energy etc.

Happy, Happy.
Good old chicken soup.

Our favourite chicken soup especially if someone has the cold or flu involves throwing in a handful of rice into the chicken and veg soup along with one red chilli and lots of garlic and ginger. A meal in itself.

[Halex]

Normally I would add things like that. Especially now ds is eating a bit more spice etc.

Just threw in what  was at hand.

Must admit I wasnt really thinking.

Love the quickness & ease of the pc. And tm still gets to play by chopping.

Glad it worked Hally. I'll have to try some quick soups like that for my lunches.

I made the Creme Caramel from the Suzanne Gibbs book yesterday. It's the third time I've made it and this time i made it during the day while the kids were at school and I managed to turn it out onto a serving plate before it was demolished. It's a great way to make a Creme Caramel and the end result was great. I had to go out last night so didn't get to eat a piece but DS and DD at 3/4 of it before I got home, so hoping there is some left for me tonight but I doubt there will be unless i get home before them.

Wonder, great way to make healthy soup quickly. Obviously it was very basic, but did the job, looking forward to being creative once better.

I am hoping to  make up some good stocks soon. I have  quite a few bones in the freezer.
