This recipe is specially dedicated to a wonderful boy name Jaden. I have been experimenting with my new Electrolux pressure cooker for a while now. I always have the fear of using the stovetop pressure cooker that makes the horrid wheezing sound while it cooks. With this new toy, there is no such intimidation, so the food comes out safely from the kitchen and so does the cook.

Thank you Audrey. Jaden and Jared love this pork stew. You gave Jaden a yummy birthday dinner. I am glad that Electrolux pressure cooker gives you a “moment to shine”.
Happy cooking Saw Leng.
Audrey, can I suggest that you include “print” icon for ease of printing your recipe and also the “FB, email, etc” icons for ease of sharing the great recipe with others?
He! He! Just passing by….
Audrey, i also have the same pressure cooker and am just starting to experiment with it. Do you have this problem… the meat texture at the top is slightly rougher than those at the bottom of the pot, eventhough I stir them halfway cooking? And sometimes there is the smell of the rubber in the food? Please share your experiences with this PC. TQ
Hi pingmouse, I am also experimenting with this new toy. Did you put in the required amount of liquid? and how long did you cook the meat? My cooker did not leave any rubber smell in the food tho.
Audrey, I added enough liquid, sometimes too much. Eventhough there’s adequate liquid, the meat at the top somehow has a different texture from the meat at the bottom. Also I suspect the non-stick coating is contributing to the difference in the meat texture, compared to when cooking/braising in a stainless steel pot. You mean you never encountered any of these problems? Your meat turn out exactly the same as when cooking on the stove top?
Audrey, I always put in enough water, sometimes almost covering the meat. Somehow, the top part just dont have the same soft texture as the meat closest to the base of the pot. When I increase the cooking time after stirring them halfway, the soft meat becomes softer and the rough meat gets softer but still rough. You never get that at all?
I don’t seem to encounter this problem. In fact, the meat was thoroughly cooked through and very tender. The next time I cook it, i will keep an eye open. Will let you know Pingmouse.
Hi there, I just bought a new electrolux pressure cooker but I have the phobia and not confident to start using it…since its my first time …can anyone out there advice me a simple dish for my trial run. As first timer i find too many gadgets to remember that is the fear
Awaiting for response to my sos. Thank you
Yen, it is a pretty easy pressure cooker to use. I suggest you wash it and make a pot of soup for the first time. Try pork rib cabbage soup as per my recipe I posted. Blanche the pork ribs ( cut into 2 inches length sizes) to rid impurities. Put the ribs into the pressure cooker pot. Fill the pot with water until half full only, a spoonful of white peppercorns. Close the lid, lock it and make sure the pressure nozzle is correctly placed then select hi pressure, 30 mins, start. Do not open the cooker the minute it finish cooking. Wait 30 minutes before slowly releasing the nozzle for steam to escape. Then add salt to taste and cabbage. Serve. Hope this helps.
