Can you Brown sear meat in this budget pressure cooker. I've never had a pressure cooker before and have read in other reviews of different brands that you can.
Yes, there is a Sauté method that works well, I use this function when I cook meat/vege soups(Jamie Oliver’s recipes),best soup when you sauté them first. Meat as well to brown just press Sauté button.
Which setting do you use for bone broth? How long does it take? Thanks!
Hi there, I would sauté first the meat and veges in the cooker instead of roasting bones in oven and then transferring meat to cooker and then I would use the “Soup” mode for the highest setting, eg 4...
Read more0mins to quicken the cooking process and release the meat off bone, and then I would “slow cook” mode for 4 hours depending on portion as a Phillips Cooker it would take 3hours on steam and personally I think flavour would be nicer slow cooked opposed to steaming. When I do stews or similar I cook my meat on Soup mode for 20mins and meat is starting to fall off bone and then I slow cook for a couple of hours or more. You can try “ soup”mode for 40mins and then try slowcook for two hours then release steam to check if cooked and if it needs more then reset. I have never done Broth, trail and error. The new cooker has more functions so is easier to work out but not sure if you have new model or not as the new Homemaker has a steam option and not sure how many hours it has for steaming but if you do have new cooker then try the steam option as you need 2 or more hours of steam and keep resetting the time if it only has 1 hour or less on the timer. Or just Soup and slow cook which I prefer in all my cooking so much easier and I reckon tastier.... Don’t forget the Apple cider vinegar!!!

Not overly thorough but you may find a few answers in there.
Does inner pot come out for cleaning?
Can I manually set the pressure timer to 70 mins?
I’ve found that the 30 minute cycle is adequate for even the toughest cuts and allowing the cooker to automatically continue in the keep warm mode also assists.
I’ve found the meat setting did not cook my silverside completely, I’ve had to cook it twice
How do you work the preassure cooker side of it?
You can use as a pressure cooker or slow cooker. To use as a pressure cooker, there is an exhaust valve that needs to be closed when in use, which is quite simple to do, just need to turn the exhaust ...
Read morevalve handle to closed. Then use the function key to choose what you are going to cook. To use as a slow cooker, this valve needs to be left open. Hope this helps.
How do i steam vegetables?
It doesn’t come with a inner steamer basket so I use a plastic piece with holes from my Philips cooker, buy a piece to sit inside for it or just place your veges in the bottom inner pot with bit of water and steam for 2 minutes on rice function.
How to use it?
Hi, for pressure cooking i use the 'pot roast' option. I haven't tried cooking rice as i have no idea of the quantities needed. Just make sure the lid is locked when you start the pot roast setting otherwise it wont build up pressure.
