Convert recipe from slow cooker to pressure cooking

jm2926

Hi Folks,

I just got a new pressure cooker, and wondered if anyone with more experience could help me convert the cooking times from a slow cooker recipe please?

It's this one: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/slow_cooker_chilli_con_13029

I guess I'd need to do it in two stages, with the beef then adding the kidney beans later to stop them going mushy, but if anyone can estimate timings for me I'd be really grateful.

I've got the choice of high or low pressure on it too.

Thanks

Meadows

Looking at that I would say 20 - 30 mins depending on what cut of Beef you use.
If I want a quick stew I cook the beef for 20 mins (I like my meat to be very soft and almost melting, but still together) and then the veg for about 8, that way I can have a stew in no time.

This turned out very well, thankyou Meadows

I saut!ed the veg then removed, browned the beef and returned the veg (minus peppers), up to pressure for 25 mins, then returned peppers and the kidney beans for 10 mins. It was very tasty, and the beef was really tender, although I forgot to reduce the liquid to account for less evaporation so had to boil some off afterwards.

I'm really impressed with the pressure cooker, wish I'd bought one years ago.
