Hi ,

It’s Amy + Jacky from Pressure Cook Recipes. How was your week? Hope you’ve been well.

Looking through some of our photos (Jacky & I really enjoy flipping through old photos...hehe~), this one below caught my eye.

Last summer, we passed by this beautiful street mural that was part of a mural festival around town. We particularly loved this one with the theme “The present is a gift.” Such a great daily reminder!

No matter what you’re going through at the moment, there might be things you’re worried about, or things weighing you down, I hope you can smile & be able to enjoy a wonderful day today! :)

Stay well & take care~

Cooking Tips of the Week

Why It's Not a Good Idea to Push Down the Instant Pot Lid?

We’ve noticed some Instant Pot users like to push their Instant Pot lid to immediately pop up the floating valve & seal the pressure cooker. Hoping this would speed up the whole cooking process.

Unfortunately, pushing down the lid is actually one of the top reasons why the food comes out undercooked in the Instant Pot.

If the lid is pushed down to force seal the Instant Pot, air will be trapped inside the pot. Since air has a lower heat capacity than steam, it’ll reduce the cooking temperature.
