how do I brown in the pressure cooker

There are different options that you can use with the pressure cooker. There is a button to brown whatever you are cooking. This pressure cooker is the best that I have ever used.

Leave the lid off and put oil in the pressure cooker and hit the browning button. When you're done select the cooking feature you want and put the lid back on.

On the front panel (see the picture) there are six buttons: soup, brown, rice, steam, slow-cook, and pressure cooking. Choose the mode you want to employ by pressing the button. It does a fine job of browning.

There is a button to press for that. It heats up quickly and Browning is a breeze. No extra frying pan

I totally love this slow cooker, but have not tried to brown meat in it. I always brown it first then cook it in this cooker. But I use it 3x per week and love it!!

Sorry Betty. I'm no help, my experience is with an electric stove top; however, in either the Rikon owner's manual or one of the pressure cooker cook books this subject I is covered.

Sorry Barbara, I gave my copy of the recipe book (came with my new pressure cooker) to my daughter-in-law, along with my old 20 yr old Nordic pressure cooker. I'm sure if you contact the Nordic people they will send you one.You can get a new sealing ring through them so I hope you are lucky on the book.Sheila.

In a normal oven the lower you place the pan on the rack the hotter the bottom will get and it will brown. It worked for me!

SisterZ, I do not know the answer to that question, but if you go to www.missvickie.com, Vickie Smith will probably be able to help. She has a website dedicated entirely to pressure cooking. One of her services is to answer questions such as this. You could also try contacting the manufacturer of your range.

The rice cooker I got was defective, the rice was uncooked. Anyway, to cook brown rice, you can either soak it for a few hours beforehand, or add more water, so the rice won't be too dry or hard. Hope it answer your question.

I have done this several times now and endorse the other answer here: butter helps to brown the exterior, it hasnt burned on me yet, and I am still in awe of how easy this thing is to clean up. Enjoy!

Yes, the same as Bruno answer. You also could just unplug the pressure cooker. If pressure is built up, you must wait until the pressure has released (by either moving the release value or just naturally letting the pressure go down).

Have not cooked brown rice in it. Any rice cooker will cook brown you just have to add extra water. Makes fluffy white rice.

In the book I have all of the meat recipes call for the use of a pressure cooker. When my husband and I canned deer we used a canner with a Jar rack in it and you don't have to have a pressure cooker. This is like a kettle with clamps on lid and a vent on top, it works great. Good Luck

I would try elevating the turkey or it won't get brown. I have used bunched up foil in the bottom of the pan. Then follow instructions on the turkey packaging. Good luck.

I tried brown jasmine rice in my pressure cooker and it was a disaster. I used the recipe in the manual. It called for 2 cups rice and 6 1/2 cups water for 20 minutes. Since I only wanted 1 cup I used 3.5 cups water. After 20 minutes I has lots of water remaining so DH put it back under pressure to try and cook more. I ended up with a soupy, sticky, gooey mess. Any ideas how to cook brown rice? ?

You may contact Fagor, I believe they sell lids so you can use the pressure cooker as a regular pan

First, why would you want to? The cooker browns nicely but takes time to heat up. Second, if you need to brown more quickly than the cooker can do it, get out a saute pan and put the meat in the cooker once it is browned to your satisfaction.

I'm sorry I do not know, the only pressure cooker I have is the Instant Pot.

You can't. I trashed mine. The company discontinued the pressure cooker & they don't supply any parts. Montel ripped us really good!
