HOW TO COOK WITH
FROZEN FOODS:
Cooking frozen food inside a pressure cooker is quick and easy but has
certain restrictions. Only cook individual cuts of frozen meats that are up
to 1 inch thick, the cooking time does not need to be altered. Pressure will
not be achieved until the internal temperature has reached a preset level. If
the recipe states the meat be cooked for 10 minutes after pressure has been
achieved, it will still be the same, but will take longer to come to the
pressure point.
It is not recommended to pressure cook larger cuts of frozen meats such as
a whole roast, a block of frozen ground meat or a whole chicken. Larger cuts
will require increased cooking times of up to one third more, and the results
may not be the same when compared to meats that were thawed (or at
least partially thawed) and browned before cooking.
