converting pressure cooking to TMX

[jo rooney]

Does anyone know if you can substitute the TMX for the use of a Pressure Cooker recipe, as just been watching Heston Blumanthals cooking programme, and he uses the pressure cooker for the recipes. I dont have one anylonger and dont want to purchase one.
I would be grateful if anyone could be of help with this problem
Thanks Guys form Jo

From memory, the time required to cook a normal recipe in a pressure cooker is one third the time of cooking by convential methods ie a casserole that takes one and a half hours in the oven is 30 minutes in the pressure cooker.  There is also less liquid required in the pressure cooker.  You could probably convert the other way by adding more liquid and doubling or tripling the cooking time.

I regularly use my pressure cooker for curries and casseroles. It can produce tender meat that falls apart after only 20-30 minutes, would definitely have to increase cooking time in TMX similar to like cooking a casserole on the stove (without pressure) ie 1.5 hours or more. It depends on the recipe though and the type of meat. If its just chicken it wouldn't need so long but casserole meat would need the longer cooking time...

I use blade steak for TMX casseroles and it only takes about an hour.
