Pressure's On - In a Good Way: Pressure Cooker Use On the Rise
Jill Nussinow, RD., aka 'The Veggie Queen ' Announces New DVD, "Pressure Cooking: A Fresh Look, Delicious Dishes in Minutes"
SANTA ROSA, CA, October 17, 2008 /Nutrition PR News/ -- When things get hot, the saying is "... that you're in the pressure cooker." When it comes to cooking, that can be a good thing. Using a pressure cooker saves time, money and energy while preserving nutrients. Americans are finally getting over a common fear of pressure cooking, as would be expected with the introduction of modern, sleek and safe spring-valve pressure cookers.
Jill Nussinow, aka 'The Veggie Queen ', a Registered Dietitian who cooks well under pressure, author of "The Veggie Queen : Vegetables Get the Royal Treatment" and the upcoming book, "The Veggie Queen Cooks Under Pressure: The New Fast Food ", has been teaching home and professional cooks the art of pressure cooking for more than 12 years. Nussinow emphasizes using beans as an inexpensive protein source, which certainly helps feed families in today's tight economic times. One of Nussinow's students determined that the money that she saved in a year through cooking her own beans, instead of buying them in cans, would more than pay for her brand new stainless steel pressure cooker. This $100 investment started paying off right away and will continue to do so for years to come.
Nussinow uses modern, spring-valve, pressure cookers without mishaps in classes she teaches at Santa Rosa Junior College in California. Students are amazed at how quickly the food is cooked and how great it tastes. Vegetable soup cooks in just 3 minutes at pressure.
"If you can boil water and twist a lid, then you can successfully use a pressure cooker. In the past 12 years, I've shown thousands of people how to do it. Once you catch the bug, you're just trying to figure out what to put in your cooker next. This time of year, it's lots of winter squash - think Curried Pumpkin Soup, Three Sisters Stew and more," says The Veggie Queen. She continues, "Not only do you get great tasting food fast, but you reduce energy usage by at least 50% and you retain more nutrition. It's a winning combination."
Jill Nussinow's DVD, "Pressure Cooking: A Fresh Look, Delicious Dishes in Minutes", accompanied by a full-color 16-page recipe offers easy recipes such as Black Beans pressure cooked in 5 minutes or Hot Cereal with Cranberries, Apples and Walnuts, that spends only 3 minutes under pressure. With Jill's warm personality and candid humor, viewers are treated in the75-minute DVD to a precise step-by-step instruction on the use and safety of the pressure cooker; admonishing any doubts. Filmed on location at a California farmer's market and in her own test kitchen, the audience observes the easy preparation of nutritious meals anyone can cook.
