Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Ingredients:
1 small pork roast
3 strips bacon
1 Tablespoon pork bouillon
   (or 1 pkg. pork gravy mix)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:
Add 2 cups water to PC. Place in roast in the bottom and add bacon strips. Sprinkle roast with onion powder and garlic powder. Add pork bouillon to water. Put PC lid on. Cook on high pressure for 50 minutes. Pull the pork apart. Add some of the broth to the meat. For serving, you can add any variety of sauces -- BBQ is the most logical, but I love teriyaki sauce and a grilled pineapple. Serve on your favorite bun or bread. Happy eating!!

Steel Cut Oats

For all you health nuts out there, this is a great shortcut to a healthy breakfast. Add 1 cup steel cut oats with 1 2/3 cups of water. Add a pinch of salt. Put PC on high pressure for 7 minutes. If you like them a little heartier, go for only 6 minutes; if you like them softer, go for 8 minutes. This saves a ton of time because regular cooking takes about 25 to 30 minutes. For a single serving, just add 1/2 cup of oats with 1 1/3 cups of water and a pinch of salt.

My uncle loves this recipe for steel cut oats; he says it reminds him of when he was a kid. If you should have any leftovers, place in a small container in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, cut off a slice and fry in pan. Add a pat of butter, brown sugar, and a little bit of cinnamon on top. Flip over the oat cake until crispy. Thanks Uncle Keith!

Jasmin Rice

I used jasmin rice in my chinese cooking. This was super easy in the PC as well. Just place in 1 cup of rice and just under 2 cups of water. Add a pinch of salt. Set your PC on high for 6 minutes and voila! it's done!

Potstickers

We had potstickers for dinner tonight and I couldn't resist trying to steam them in the pressure cooker. It worked out quite well! Traditionally, the potstickers have to be boiled in water for 8 minutes. I put them in the PC for 4 minutes on high pressure and they were perfect! So instead of them being a little slimy (you know what I mean) when they were done, they were steamed to perfection! If you want to fry them on both sides, go ahead and go for it!
