Introduction

A few years ago I was given the assignment from the
New York Times Food section to explore why legions of passionate home cooks were falling hard for their electric pressure cookers. Was this gadget a mere fad? Or would it weave its way into the fabric of our kitchen and our lives?

The answer of course is the latter. Electric pressure cookers (also called multipots) are on the culinary upswing. Once you get the hang of it (and see pages 10 to 17 for a little help), they make getting dinner on the table a snap.   

They’ve certainly made my life easier. After using mine regularly for the past few years, there are some things—beans, braised meats, artichokes, bone broth, and brown rice—that I’d be absolutely bitter about having to go back to cooking in a pot on the stove. But with two multipots at the ready, I doubt I ever will.   

Here, I include only recipes that show off what the machines excel at—not so much what they
can do, but what they can do as well or better than traditional methods, be it faster, more flavorfully, or more conveniently. The key to pressure-cooker success is choosing recipes in which softness and succulence is the goal, and which traditionally take hours to get there. An electric pressure cooker can’t cook a whole chicken very well, and it doesn’t do crisp or crunchy. So if you don’t ask it to do what it can’t, you won’t be disappointed.   

Instead, use it to make comforting dishes like turkey meatloaf spiked with Sriracha and served on a mound of buttered potatoes (page 74), or cumin-scented Cuban chicken and rice (page 63) on any given weekday. Cooking spaghetti and meatballs (page 46) in a multipot may seem counterintuitive, but the appliance makes a rather labor-intensive process perfect for a family-friendly after-work meal. And on weekends when you’ve got more time, try my take on David C
