Author: Amy Fulwood | Published: | Modified:

This is a collection of all my favourite pressure king pro recipes. From one pot pastas to curries to tacos, there's all kinds of delicious recipes here, all made extra quick thanks to the pressure king pro.

The pressure king pro works like any other pressure cooker or instant pot. It fills with pressurised steam which cooks thing super quickly and keeps in loads of flavour and healthy nutrients.

Since getting my pressure king pro I've tried cooking loads of different recipes in it and have completely fallen in love with the quick cooking and all the flavour it keeps locked into food. Keep scrolling to find my favourite pressure king pro recipes.

The pressure king pro has 12 different settings for cooking: Meat, Rice, Stew, Soup, Pasta, Fish, Steam, Browning, Fast Re-heat, Keep Warm/Slow Cook and Delay Timer.

Tips for cooking with the pressure king pro

  • Pressure cooking is great for cooking big batches of food. I love to use it for making a big meal on a Monday night and then I've got it for lunches and dinners throughout the week
  • The 'Keep Warm' function also acts as a slow cooker option so you can get rid of another gadget!
  • My favourite thing about the pressure king pro is the delay function. It means that I can get everything ready in the pressure cooker and then delay cooking so that it's ready for when I get home from work

Why would you use a pressure cooker?

As I mentioned above, the pressure cooker cooks things much more quickly than traditional cooking methods. It also helps lock moisture into the food which gives amazing texture and makes sure meat gets super tender.

How long does it take to cook meat in the pressure cooker?

That really depends on what meat you're trying to cook. I've cooked chicken in the pressure cooker and I like to use the browning function first and then cook under pressure for 5 minutes and it comes out perfectly.

Larger joints of meat can take longer but will still take much less than in the oven, about 45-60 minutes. See below for some of my favourite meat recipes in the pressure cooker.
