Foods Unsuitable For Pressure Cooking
Some foods are not recommended for pressure cooking in liquid. Such foods could expand too much, froth, and sputter, which can result in blocking the steam vent. Examples include macaroni, cranberries, and cereals such as oatmeal. Dumplings should not be cooked under pressure, otherwise the dumplings will expand, block the steam vent, and trigger the safety devices that prevent over-pressure. Dumplings can be added to a stew already cooked in the pressure cooker and gently simmered without the lid on.

“There are many of us who cannot but feel dismal about the future of various cultures. Often it is hard not to agree that we are becoming culinary nitwits, dependent upon fast foods and mass kitchens and megavitamins for our basically rotten nourishment.”

“The universal social pressure upon women to be all alike, and do all the same things, and to be content with identical restrictions, has resulted not only in terrible suffering in the lives of exceptional women, but also in the loss of unmeasured feminine values in special gifts. The Drama of the Woman of Genius has too often been a tragedy of misshapen and perverted power.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“If cooking becomes an art form rather than a means of providing a reasonable diet, then something is clearly wrong.”
