Try an electric pressure cooker it is a lot less frightening. It also takes away a lot of the guessing. It's also quite a bit safer and it doesn't make so much steam and noise. It also comes with a push button control so even a novice can use it and turnout great meals.

Our cheap ($60 USD), simple air fryer (only has 2 knobs - temp and timer) has become probably our most used kitchen gadget. It especially shines for all those "freezer foods" that would normally go in the oven or a deep fryer. Faster and crispier than an oven or toaster oven, and (when you add in heating time) faster and a lot less oily than using a deep fryer.

I can't even imagine cooking without my pressure cooker. It's literally the first thing I grab when I'm making dinner. I love it so much that I recently got a second one. It's a must have in my kitchen.

In a south Asian household, a pressure cooker is a must have. It is very commonly used to create soup or the base of a curry or a spice mix for the dish and then all you need to do is dry out the water (if needed) and then add in the veggies or meat of your choice. Also you usually have one with a whistle that goes off on it’s own so all you have to do is assemble it all and put it on the stove and when you hear the shrill whistle simply turn off the the heat and pull of the whistle leaving the heat to trickle out and then about ten minutes later when you open the cooker, it’s ready to eat.

Yes!!!

The thing with the cheesecake- If you have an electric pressure cooker, you don't have to worry about temp fluctuations in the oven. It regulates temperature for ALL cooking, which is what makes them so amazing. I didn't even know stove top pressure cookers still existed. Made a chocolate cheesecake in mine a few months ago, it was amazing. I didn't have to watch it, I didn't even have to think about it. Pop it in, leave it, and delicious cheesecake.

A question: did you start the timing from the time the cooker came to pressure, or from the time you started the cooking? The method is generally to start timing as soon as the pressure is reached. Also previous comment of using "slow release" method (let cool down for 2 to 3min before opening) is spot on, especially for tough cuts of meat. It not only gives a little extra cooking time, but let's the meat "rest" and soak up the moisture, resulting in more tender and more flavorful cuts. Finally, try this for risotto: Throw in frozen (yes frozen) seafood marinara on top of the rice just before closing the lid. Cook as per this video (I give it 9-10 min, but that is because my lovely wife likes smoother risotto) and just gently stir on release. Bingo. Seafood risotto in under 15min. Ps. Pressure cokkers make brilliant stock. Always use homemade stock from left over roasts and bones with your pressure cooker. It's freaking magic for any other dish you add it to.

I'd stick to the risotto times mentioned here but then experiment with natural release instead of immediate quick release. 15-30 sec increments, that sort of thing. The carry-over cooking might do the trick for the texture and final creaminess, and there is always the stirring under mild heat to finish that James mentioned. I've always been a bit intimidated by risotto, so this seems like the next challenge for me in the kitchen. The wife won't mind, I'm certain!

I suspect the problem is their pressure cooker. Pressure cookers are quite complex product. Keeping the steam in without leakage and making sure there's a certain level of safety if the pressure is too high is very tricky, requiring great design, good manufacturing techniques and decent material. Cheap Asian pressure cooker don't keep enough pressure inside the cooker to follow the recipes. I found that those require almost 10 minutes more compares to a decent one from, say, Germany that cost 5 to 10 times more. If you ask me however, I would rather buy the expensive one and replace the seal every few years than having to buy a new pot.

So I started to watch sorted' videos during lockdown... And now I'm watching "old videos". I'm originally from Chile in Latin America... And our abuelitas (nans) used to use pressure cookers all the time!!!! For everything!!! So I actually got that feeling everytime that they were taking a meat out of the pot that it was needing more! Lol. Great video guys!

I'd love to see you guys experiment with an instant pot. I know it's a pressure cooker and you had done pressure cooking, but it also does slow cooking, rice cooking, yogurt and a few other things.

Thanks for pointing this out, I never noticed it XD

Skeptical James is adorable! Loving the ‘exploration’ of a new style of cooking by our two chefs!

Just tried the risotto in my pressure king and it’s amazing. 10 minutes max!!! Thank you so much! Lentils next!!!

It's so interesting to see you guys using a pressure cooker. I use it at least once a week to cook beans and a bunch of other recipes. It's my go to when I'm making soup, since it's faster.

The feel when you aren’t a chef but you’ve used a pressure cooker more then one. We use ours all the time. Pulled jack fruit is amazing in it btw. Love it.

"That's, that's the tail of an ox, then they just go kapow! Kapow! Kapow! And we go 'yummmmy'!". Yes Ben, that's definitely what happens.

In my home country, we don't use pressure cookers that much but I moved to Spain 2 years ago and I was very surprised to see how much they use it. I was sold on the idea a long time ago because it's great to be able to cook things like lentils really fast (the way they cooked lentils in the video is exactly how I learned to cook them)

Indeed, lentils turn out very well in my Presto-brand stovetop pressure cooker.

I agree with James, 15 min to cook potatoes is too long?!?! Seriously? It's not like you have to stir them the whole time, you can prepare the rest of the meal while cooking the potatoes. I still think James is afraid of pressure cooker though ;-)

I find myself being reluctant to cook potatoes, because pasta or rice you don't have to peel (either before or after cooking), plus they are generally quicker done

@djabeacocteau132

The 15 min are not the issue compared to rice and pasta you have to peel the potatoes. From the two the only one close to the prep work is the rice since you have to wash it. And if you prepare the pasta from scratch it's a totally different level.

Also I never peel potatoes. I don't even wash them if they look clean. I'll chop em quickly, toss em in olive oil, salt and pepper and bang em in the oven at 400F while I prep the rest of the meal. Easiest potatoes ever.

I admit I'm really lazy, but peeling potatoes is not THAT much work. I would just peel some carrots at the same time (and try not to eat them straight away, so I have no room for the food). And after that all the hard work is done when it comes to the potatoes. Oh dear, I'm sounding a bit like my mom... Moving on ;-P

We always cook rice in old school cookers. And lentils. And so many things.

Our favorite pressure cooker meal! An instant pot and a rock hard frozen turkey breast. Meal prepared and on the table in under 2 hours.

Love when James and Ben bounce off each other like in this video, really entertaining. As James is gone it'd be good to see similar with guest chefs (Poppy, James, Nigel etc.) or maybe regular chef guests that are fun

I was given a pressure cooker as a wedding gift in 1983, and have only just replaced it. It was used regularly so if you buy a good one, it’s great value for money too 😀

Haven't even watched the video yet and my Sunday has instantly improved :D Edit: Please test the Instant Pot next!

Dee-Anne Gordon It’s far more advanced.

In Turkish kitchen it is a pretty common thing to have. As opposed to the common opinion, it is mainly used for beans, soups and stocks rather than meat. As I went vegan, pressure cooker became my best friend since I can cook legumes fast and I can cut down on soaking time as well. I feel like it is a must in my kitchen!

Great to see this one. Modern pressure cookers are safe and if you are someplace with no cooktop at all, an electric pressure cooker is amazing. You can do anything you do with a skillet or pot, saute, fry, boil, steam, plus you can pressure cook things with the lid on and you can do some limited baking in one.also. Pressure cooker Graham Masala lentils is my go-to quick dish. A little surprised by the chef's reaction because chefs are some of the biggest users of pressure cookers. Time is money in the restaurant business.

My tip on using it, is just think of it as an overpowered oven

pressure cookers are a staple in many south asian households! my mum doesn't use hers anymore for some reason but it's great for goat meat or mutton or any kind of meat that typically needs more time to become tender, also great for things like lentils that need time to absorb liquid

I'm actually really glad you did this! I live in Japan and while I did splurge on an oven, it's tiny and super expensive to run (electric, not gas). The rice cookers here are starting to be a cross between a pressure cooker and an instant pot. Which is great with the tiny kitchens. The steam valve release is scary, though on all such appliances.

0:38 = 😱 lol Loll called it, the eye roll at 5:57 of course it’s at Ben 😂😂

You should try the Instant Pot, an electric pressure cooker. Takes the scary part out of it. Constant temps as well.

I've used a pressure cooker for years for oxtail, lamb knuckle etc., but tried the risotto for the first time recently. Absolute game changer. I've got an electric one, which is even easier than the stove top one. Great appliance

Love you guys. A friend and I found your channel recently and I have binge watched so many I lost count. You guys are so much fun to watch!! I have such a big crush on James.

Great vid. I love my pressure cooker, I didn't even had the idea of using it for risotto. I'll definitely try it. Pro-tip: if you want to open the pressure cooker quickly without turning your kitchen into a steam room, put it under running water to cool it down. But beware that all the vapor turns back into water inside the cooker, so if you want thick sauce, it's not the best way. But for potatoes, it's perfect.

The Instant Pot has made cooking for a family so much easier (especially for those of us who never remember to set out meat to thaw)!! Love it and find it totally hilarious that you’re now slightly converted
