Anyone who at least once in his life tried to cook food in a pressure cooker appreciated all the advantages of this modern kitchen appliance over an ordinary saucepan. Meat cooked in this way has a special taste. It not only retains its natural taste and rich aroma, but also retains all its nutritional properties, especially when steamed.

Instructions
Step 1
Place a special steaming rack inside the pressure cooker. If you did not find one among the parts included in the kit of your device, you can purchase it separately, or use the lower part of the "manto cook" instead.
Step 2
Pour about 300-400 ml of clean cold or warm water into the pressure cooker. The amount of liquid in the device should not be less than 150ml. Also, make sure that the top of the stand is not submerged in water.
Step 3
You can place the meat either on the stand of the pressure cooker, or in a small metal saucepan or ceramic bowl. Close the appliance tightly with the lid, place it on the stove and turn on the maximum heat.
Step 4
After a short period of time, depending on the volume of the pressure cooker, the intensity of heating, the amount and temperature of water, as well as the ambient temperature, the operating valve of the device will release excess steam. Typically, the initial heating time ranges from 5 to 15 minutes.
Step 5
Next, reduce the heating by about 2-3 times and start counting a new period of time, the duration of which is determined by your chosen recipe for cooking meat.
Step 6
After the main time for cooking meat in the pressure cooker has elapsed, turn off the heat. If the service valve of the device is closed, open it and check that there is no steam pressure. Only then can you open the lid.
Step 7
Now remove the meat from the pressure cooker and use it according to the recommendations described in the recipe for your chosen dish. The concentrated broth remaining on the bottom of the appliance can be used as a base for soup and sauce.
Step 8
Even tough meat becomes juicy and tender after cooking in a pressure cooker.
