Hi all! Cor its a long time since I posted here! As I type I have the above in my pressure cooker using a recipe that came with it, but I have a couple of questions if anyone can help? The recipe is somewhat vague...
It calls for a 10 minute steam before bringing to pressure and cooking for 24 mins. I noticed while i was steaming the pressure knob was up - is this normal for steaming in a pressure cooker?
And my last question is with regards to cooking suet puddings generally in a p/c, is the trivet needed? the recipe says to put it straight into 1+3/4 pints of boiling water, but no mention of the trivet. to be on the safe side i have used the trivet and put the bowl in the steaming basket, but for future reference is this needed? Can i place the bowl straight onto boiling water on the bottom of the pan?
Many thanks in advance

MERLIN it's perfectly normal for the pressure valve to be raised, it means the temperature is high enough in the cooker. I always use the trivet for puddings, it takes away the fear that a basin directly on the bottom of the cooker will get rattled about and crack, hope that helps, Cheers Lyn x.0

and yes I was concerned about the bowl sitting on the bottom of the pan.
The pud was delicious!
