How to choose a pressure cooker and accessories. Choose the proper pressure cooker for your needs. How to choose a pressure cooker If you use Mom's or Grandma's old pressure cooker, know that the only way to release pressure quickly to release the lid is to place the pressure cooker in the sink and run cold water over it to bring down the temperature and pressure.

This can take as little as 5 minutes or up to 20 minutes for a full pot of stew or soup. Obviously, the wasted water used in that cooling process is of concern. However, today's pressure cookers give you a choice of a quick-release option, taking even less time to finish that meal and without the need for wasted water to cool things down. When purchasing your pressure cooker, keep in mind the 6-quart size is the standard for most recipes. Select a cooker with a detachable pressure regulator that can adjust the pressure to low (5 pounds=220 degrees F./100 degrees C.), medium (10 pounds=235 degrees F./115 degrees C.), or high (15 pounds=250 degrees F./120 degrees C.).

'It's pea soup,' said my mum, and nodded towards the hob.

Boiling point: Anne Shooter put a variety of pressure cookers to the test She'd always hated the thing and left it to Dad to use - it was the kind of gadget that appealed to the scientist in him (he's a pharmacist) and I remember him trying to explain to me how the increased pressure meant the temperature was higher and that was why the food cooked so much more quickly. But Mum hated the way it whistled and spat, threatening to do just the thing it had done now. This was better. BBC Two - The Little Paris Kitchen: Cooking with Rachel Khoo. Rachel Khoo reeling after ‘insane’ reaction to The Little Paris Kitchen. Chef Rachel Khoo has received overwhelming support for her new show The Little Paris Kitchen on Twitter, with fans keen to get her advice on cookery and fashion.

How to make perfect rice pudding. We all have things in life that we're not very proud of. Until last week, one of mine, along with the tartan trousers I sported for most of 1996, was the revulsion I harboured for rice pudding. This started some years before the plaid madness, and is entirely attributable to the stuff we were given at school, which was snow white, astonishingly bland, and served with a mean little dollop of chewy red jam slopped carelessly into the middle.
