Multicooker Perfection: Cook it Fast or Cook it Slow-You Decide
by America's Test Kitchen
What it is: Multicookers like the Instant Pot are hugely popular, and manufacturers are coming out with new models every year. Yet most recipes are unreliable or are designed to work in only one brand of multicooker--and most often, they use only the pressure cooker setting. America's Test Kitchen set out to make better use of these appealing, set-it-and-forget-it appliances. We've put our rigorous testing process to work developing recipes that conform to your schedule: Make a recipe "fast" using the pressure cooker setting. Or, relax and preparing it "slow" on the slow cook setting if you have the right model (as we show, not every slow cooking function heats properly). We've put every recipe through its paces to make sure it would work across a wide variety of appliances.
Recipes include: Spicy Moroccan-Style Chicken and Lentil Soup, Lemon Chicken with Potatoes and Spinach, Sirloin Beef Roast with Red Wine-Peppercorn Sauce and French-Style Pork Loin with Port and Cherries.
