So I think I found the best kept kitchen appliance secret ever well maybe itβs not a secret but Iβve never owned one and this is the cauri 57 L pressure cooker Iβve worked with cauri for years and years and I didnβt think anything would beat their air fryers to be honest
But this might just be my new favorite thing Iβve ever had in the kitchen so casor have kindly sponsored this video and theyβve asked me to tell you all about the 5.7 l 9 in1 pressure cooker so not only does it pressure cook Iβm actually going to put it down
Not only does it pressure cook it sautΓ© you can cook rice in it if you know me Iβm notoriously bad at cooking rice and I spend a lot of money on the prepackaged ones because Iβm just so bad at it this Cooks rice for you you can
Make cakes in it you can do yogurt in it and itβs a slow cooker so no need for two separate appliances anymore this little compact thing does it all itβs got nine different cooking methods you can keep food warm for 12 hours after you finished cooking it you can actually
Pre-prepare your food and then then set this to come on 24 hours later so you can do it all one day in the morning pop everything in if youβre going to make like a vegetable stew or something said it to come on that next morning all that
Aside I cannot believe how fast it is I have cooked things like sweet potatoes and lentils which notoriously take about 45 50 minutes at best on the hob in 5 minutes like literally five I really didnβt believe the hype when people said these are just amazing the speed in
Which they cook food and how tender it comes out as well itβs not just like dried to within an inch of its life because the lid is sealed like no moisture escapes itβs all sort of pressured into it I guess Iβve got a link in the description box for the Kor
Pressure cooker so make sure to go and check that out itβs a really really good price and I really recommend it like I said I think itβs my new favorite kitchen appliance it is going to help with so many things from meal prepping so simple and safe to use that all three
Of my teenagers can be trusted to have a go and maybe make some of their own meal prep meals itβs a really nice size itβs not like a massive thing that youβve got to like find somewhere for I already know Iβm going to be making a ton of
Content on pressure cooker recipes and things you can cook in it Iβm really really excited to share all that with you so if youβre going to buy one of these but youβre not really sure what to make then make sure you stick around on my channel and you can see all the
Different things Iβm going to use it for and we can experiment and play around a little bit but for now letβs go and have a look at some of the things Iβve been making and how impressed I am with this Appliance so for this recipe weβre going
To make a really quick and easy Moroccan chicken dish this is a typical recipe to prove how fast you can cook in a pressure cooker this is the kind of thing that I would sometimes slow cook and it would be on for 8 hours a day in
The pressure cooker we are looking at about 15 minutes with a little bit of prep time just for chopping so I will leave all the ingredients typed out in the description box below this video just in case you miss anything but Iβve got about a kilo of chicken thigh
Fillets and Iβve just sliced those into about three pieces for Small Potatoes that Iβve just peeled and sliced into wedges weβre going to need some salt and pepper about 4 tablespoons of orange juice Iβve got one whole lemon sliced up and then a really large carrot that Iβve
Peeled and chopped Iβve got about 25 olives in here obviously you donβt have to be exact but thatβs what Iβve got Iβve got four cloves of garlic and a cube of Ginger Iβm really sad Iβve run out of my cubes of garlic I just find
Them so much easier took me so long to chop the garlic compared to just throwing in a frozen CBE Cube and I get mine from Farm Foods in case youβre wondering got some almonds to put on the top afterwards and the recipe actually calls for dried apricots Iβve got some
Cranberries and raisins cuz I donβt have apricots and I thought I might as well pop those in any kind of mixed fruit would do well one really large onion that Iβve just sliced up along with 250 mil of chicken stock so what Iβve done is just put one chicken stock cube in
Some boiling water like 250 mil so itβs like almost double strength and then for the spices so in here Iβve got 1 tblspoon of smoked paprika Iβve got a teaspoon each of turmeric and cumin and then Iβve got half a teaspoon of cinnamon and half a teaspoon of hot
Chili powder you could use chili flakes or normal chili powder and thatβs what Iβm going to be using so the first thing weβre going to do is start off with popping a little bit of oil in the bottom of our pressure cooker and Iβm going to sautΓ© off the onions and thatβs
Why I love it because we can do all of this in one pot so the first thing we are going to do is press our sautΓ© button and Iβm going to start off at 10 minutes because thatβs probably roughly what weβre going to use just hit start
And itβs telling me now that we are preheating so we are still preheating but I just want to show you if I attempt to take off the lid it actually stops preheating and tells me that the lidβs not secure so you canβt accidentally start the cooker with the lid
Off soon as we seal it again weβre carrying on cooking I think itβs fantastic such a good good safety measure so Iβm just going to add a little bit of oil and Iβm going to pop my onions in here Iβm just going to sautΓ© those for 2 or 3
Minutes so after about 2 minutes Iβm going to add in my garlic and ginger itβs smelling so good Iβm going to pop in my spices Iβm going to go in now with my orange juice chicken stock Iβm just seasoned my chicken with a little salt and pepper so Iβm going to
Pop that in now as well going to give that a really good stir weβve got our olives our mixed fruit carrot and the last thing Iβm going to do is lay over my potatoes just going to go in with a little bit of salt and
Pepper okay now Iβm going to pop my lid on weβre going to select pressure cook and then we are going to choose high so you can go low or high so Iβm going to set this to 10 minutes and weβre going to press start so now the pressure is built up my
Countdown has begun so this is going to take about 10 minutes I canβt believe that those potatoes and that chicken and carrots will be cooked in 10 minutes it has been preheating for a little while so you do have to bear that in mind and then over the back here thereβs a little
Float valve that little silver thing which Iβm not going to touch that lets us know that the pressure has built up completely you donβt really need to pay attention to that because it tells you all electronically on the front but that is the float valve and then when the
Pressure is released after cooking that will drop again youve got a switch here which is either vent or seal obviously you have to have it on seal for cooking and then when you finish you can allow the steam to vent naturally or if you want it a little bit quicker you can
Switch it over to vent just got to be really really careful to stay clear of this whole area at the back because thatβs where the steam shoots out and yeah Iβm just going to give it where we go 9 minutes and weβll see where we get to so you got three ways to
Release the pressure on the pressure cooker youβve got natural release which means at the end of your cooking time the steam will just gradually be released into the air youβve got quick release which means you can just use your vent here and open it up and the
Steam will shoot out youβve also got a timed natural release which means you can basically leave the seal shot for a few minutes and then open it thatβs the one Iβm going to do today I like I said this Iβm new to this and apparently if I
Had turned the keep warm function off before I started cooking it would have done a natural release but because I didnβt turn keep warm off itβs going to wait for me to tell it to release because itβs keeping the food warm so we live and learn and next time Iβll
Possibly turn that off and let it do it itself but itβs sat for about 5 minutes now so what Iβm going to do is Iβm going to release it myself so Iβm a bit nervous of this but apparently that little thing will drop down and the air
Will shoot out of the top the steam so here we go oh oh okay itβs not like you have to have it like itβs not going to fly out oh I donβt know if my plantβs going to like that not sure the plantβs enjoying that and that is basically all the pressure being
Released once itβs released that will drop and then we can open up itβs really steaming up my windows so as you can see the valve has now dropped which means that we are safe to open our lid it oh wow I cannot believe how quickly that cooked that looks and smells amazing so
Iβve used a slotted spoon remove the majority of the ingredients into a serving dish and Iβm just going to pop a little bit of cornflour so about two teaspoons mixed with a tiny bit of water into our lovely sauce and thatβs still piping hot so weβre just going to give that a
Stir and that will thicken up the juices theyβre thickening really quickly cuz itβs still so hot and then thatβs our beautiful gravy that Iβm going to pour over the top of our chicken so Iβve just sprinkled over some flaked almonds and some coriander and then we have our pressure cooker Moroccan chicken you
Could serve this with rice or cuscus or a nice big chunk of bread to dip in the sauce is really nice and thick now tastes itβs absolutely amazing and really quick and simple to do so Iβve removed my inner basket it is dishwasher safe if you put it on the top
Rack but like with my air fryer I prefer to hand wash things it just makes them last that bit longer and it just protects them really cuz dishwashers are really harsh so finished cooking Iβve wiped out the inside with a damp cloth and dried it thoroughly you never want
To get this bit submerged in water at all the other bit Iβve hand washed what I wanted to show you as well is when youβre taking your lid off and youβre not sure where to put it so you see the little bit that juts out here that just slots into this little space
Here and it holds your lid so you donβt have to put it down on the counter this is not a hinge do not try and shut it because you will snap it it is purely for holding the lid if you donβt want to put it down you can just slot it in
There for safekeeping while youβre stirring and while youβre adding your ingredients and then you can take it out and pop it on please do not just try and shut it because itβs not a hinge and youβll break your pressure cooker so I was quite skeptical at first but yes you
Can cook a whole chicken in your pressure cooker this is a 3.3 lb or 1.56 kilo chicken serves four people generously and apparently the actual cooking time of this is going to be about 20 minutes obviously youβre going to allow 15 minutes for the steam to release afterwards but this said cooking
Time on the packet of 1 hour 40 minutes so itβs going to drastically cut that down and apparently itβs going to be melt in your mouth tender fall off the bone and itβs all in one pot you donβt have to switch your oven on which again is a
Bonus so this one calls for very little ingredients obviously you want your chicken Iβve got some butter thereβs probably about 2 tablespoons there and Iβm just going to warm that up slightly in here Iβve got 2 teaspoons each of garlic granules onion granules and mixed herbs and Iβve also got a teaspoon of
Salt and half a teaspoon of black pepper weβve got a lemon for the carcass and about 250 M of boiling water with a chicken stock Cube so there are several methods to this one you can start off by sautΓ©ing your chicken first Iβm going to pop mine straight
In I think this part just depends on whether you eat the skin or not now weβve got a little trivet that comes with your pressure cooker and Iβm just going to stand that inside and Iβm going to add my stock to the bottom of the pan and thatβs going to build up our
Steam and thatβs whatβs going to cook our chicken so Iβve got my spice mix here Iβm going to squeeze half of my lemon into my spice mix it doesnβt matter if the seeds go in cuz this is just going to end up making a really
Nice sauce so Iβm going to pop my lemon inside the carcass of the chicken with the other half a lemon and then Iβm just going to add my melted butter to my spices and Iβm just going to stir this around and we can save these juices and
Make the best gravy afterwards so once youβve mixed them all together weβre just going to take our chicken Iβm going to sit it in inside there like that obviously make sure you get a chicken that you can fit in your pot and this is the messy job but you
Kind of want to separate the skin a little bit and Iβm going to try and squeeze some of this right down Iβm doing it here so I can show you but obviously you could do this before you put it in Iβm going to squeeze about half the mixture Push It Down Under the
Skin getting right down there and the rest of the mixture Iβm just going to pop on the top little bit on the legs this smells so good already and all it is is like garlic and herb and we are going to set this to pressure cook on
High Iβm going to give it 20 minutes mine is 3.3 lb and then weβre going to let it release naturally for 15 minutes afterwards so Iβm going to make sure I turn off the keep warm function that in place weβre going to press pressure cook and weβre going to go for 20
Minutes and then weβre going to have it on high pressure there there Iβm going to turn off the keep War function so just press that once and it turns it off and weβre going to start and there is our chicken all cooked I cannot believe you can do a
Whole chicken in here so Iβm going to get it out and show you so we are completely cooked as you can see under there itβs literally so tender Iβm absolutely amazed I really was not sure this was going to work so what I am going to do now you can this is optional
I just need to take a bit off of it and just show you itβs literally falling off the bone what Iβm going to do now is the Skinβs kind of split open a bit cuz I was a bit heavy-handed with it Iβm going to pop this under the grill just to
Crisp it up a little bit and then weβve got those really nice juices in here which Iβm going to turn into a sauce so hereβs our chicken after itβs been grilled we got really nice crispy garlic and butter s seasoning and Iβm going to leave that on while I slice it while
Thatβs resting weβre going to make some really nice creamy mashed potatoes in our pressure cooker and Iβm also going to show you how to turn those juices into a really really nice sauce so we are now going to use our pressure cooker to transform all this lovely chicken
Juice into a really really nice gravy to go with our chicken what Iβm going to do now is remove this layer of oil that you can see on the top if I was going to do this overnight sorry about the dishwasher if I was going to do this
Overnight I would pop it in the fridge and then this layer would become solid and you can just take it off with a fork but I want to get this on the go now so what Iβm going to do is remove that layer just with a spoon Iβm going to set
The pressure cooker to sautΓ© and weβre going to put some butter and flour in add our liquid back in and make a really really nice chickeny gravy and then Iβm going to show you how to make the best fluffy pressure cooker mashed potatoes so Iβm going to add in about three spoons of
Butter actually like f l pack AI version Iβm going to give that a stir how cute are these little utensils that come with the fresh C still got all the nice like we still got all the bits from the chicken on the bottom so we can kind of deglaze the
Bottom with the butter and get all those nice crispy flavorings once our butter is melted Iβm going to add about 3 tbspoon of Flour going to whisk that together and then to that we are going to add in all of our lovely juices Iβm just going to give that a stir keeping it on the sΓ© mode and itβs starting to thicken already and then weβre going to have the best really nice chicken flavor gravy we
Can pour that over our chicken and our Mash Iβm going add a little bit of black pepper I donβt think it needs any salt and there you go youβve got lovely thick perfect sauce to go over the chicken so for the mashed potatoes Iβm just going to pop my peeled and cubed
Potatoes straight into the bottom Iβve done about eight Small Potatoes which is roughly about a kilo like half a bag then Iβm just going to cover these just about with water and weβre going to add about half a teaspoon of salt pop on our lid there are so many
Different settings on here you can pressure cooked rice steam cake oatmeal and porridge stews and broths beans and greins meat and poultry you can sautΓ© yogurt souie but for today I just want to show you the pure pressure cooking methods so again Iβm just going to click
Pressure cook and I think weβre going to go in with about 8 minutes to start with and then again I want it on high pressure Iβm going to take the keep War function off so we can release the pressure afterwards Press Start and thatβs it for now so our 8 minutes is up
And Iβm going to go ahead and quick release my pressure so Iβm just going to going to push my switch to vent so these have come out so soft in only 8 minutes and I havenβt had to wait for water to boil or anything so what
Iβm going to do now is add loads of black pepper Iβm going to add in a few garlic granules this is optional but I love garlicky Mash basically whatever it is you enjoy in your mashed potato so another butter Iβm also going to go in with a splash of
Oat milk because itβs so creamy and then Iβm going to mash I have got a potato ricer but these are so soft that I really donβt think Iβm going to need it I just had to pop on while I was editing this because when I gave this
Mashed potato to one of my sons he actually said this is the best Mash Iβve ever t tasted and I donβt know what youβve done to it and I said to him I really wish Iβd caught that on camera it would have been absolutely perfect my husband also agreed that it was just
Different to how we normally have it and Iβm not quite sure why but they said it was kind of like softer somehow I suppose itβs just because of the pressure you put the potatoes under so this is my definite go-to method for mashed potatoes from now on we got our
Lovely coting on the chicken which is really really tender if you can hear snorking itβs the dog hoovering everything up off the floor my kitchen is in chaos at the moment that sauce is to die for if you got sauce left over highly recommend popping it in a soup or
Using it as a pasta sauce and it go really really well on a steak as well this is my pressure cooker chicken and mashed potatoes with creamy gravy so if you know me youβll know one of my favorite things to eat in the world other than salad is soup so Iβm going to
Make a sweet potato and red lentil chili soup the recipe calls for two large sweet potatoes so I think thatβs roughly what Iβve got Iβm going to use one large red onion diced swirling around in there weβve got some vegetable stock about 1.2 L Iβve got a tin of chickpeas and a tin
Of chopped tomatoes and my tomatoes are the ones with peppers and chili in them 200 g of red lentils 2 tbspoon of tomato puree I will typ all this out in the description box below this video as well got about four cloves of chopped garlic again Iβm really missing my frozen
Garlic then in here weβve got two teaspoons of smoked paprika 1 teaspoon of cumin 1 teaspoon of ground coriander and 1 teaspoon of hot chili obviously tone down the chili if youβre not a chili fan weβre going to start off with some sautΓ© in you know how it works by
Now and add a little bit of vegetable oil thought it gets hot straight away first off Iβm going to add in my red onion Iβm going to give that 2 or 3 minutes and then add my other bits next up Iβm going to add in my garlic and my spices
Iβm going to pop in my sweet potato lentils my vegetable stock chickpeas chopped tomatoes last but not least Iβm going to do 2 tablespoons roughly of tomato puree so one two give that a [Applause] stir and then Iβm going to cook this on high pressure for 5 minutes and then
Weβre going to check it and I canβt quite believe this will be done in 5 minutes but apparently thatβs how long itβs going to take so the recipe did say that after 5 minutes take half of this out and Blitz it and then add it back in
So you got a really nice thick stew but I really donβt think you need to this is a really nice consistency and I will put some in a bowl just to show you but Iβm so impressed with how fast I was able to make this especially sweet potato and
Red ltil they usually take absolutely ages to cook so Iβve got loads of made dep portions for that which Iβm really happy about so Iβve just added some shredded coconut some red chili flakes and some fresh coriander seasoned it with salt and pepper and Iβm going to
Serve it with a really nice chunk of sourdough bread if you have watched my channel before you will know I am notoriously bad at cooking rice I can just never get it right itβs always either too mushy or sticks together and I end up spending a fortune buying the
Pre-made Rices are the microwave ones the boil in the bag I have got better at it but apparently it is foolproof in this pressure cooker so there is actually a rice button so what Iβve been told is that you just use one cup of rice to one cup of water so equal parts
So Iβm just going to use like our cups which are mugs if that makes sense but just as long as theyβre equal parts it really doesnβt matter apparently so weβre going to give it a go so Iβm going to go in with two of my little French
Bulldog cups of rice and exactly the same amount of water and then weβre just going to press the rice setting and hopefully it will come out perfectly so 12 minutes and then I just let it natural release and the rice is done perfectly this is going to save so
Much time and more importantly so much money cuz my son takes chicken and rice every day as well as Steve does sometimes heβll be able to do this himself because itβs like foolproof itβs literally equal parts rice water and you just press rice you canβt really go
Wrong so yeah Iβm really impressed with that really happy so that is it for this video Iβm literally cradling it like itβs my baby I hope youβve enjoyed it and maybe it shown you a little bit of the kind of thing you can do with a caui
Pressure cooker like I said all the details would been in the description box below this video click on the link and you can get yourself one of these I really recommend it I think itβs going to be my new favorite thing and probably one of the most used things in my
Kitchen to be honest thank you toor for sponsoring this video and Iβll be back really really soon with another one take care Guys you want to be maybe somewhere you think about me too I wonder where are you now wonder where you wonder where

I've never tried rice in mine (I have a dinky rice cooker from Lakeland that I use) β but would a quick release give you even fluffier rice and save some time? (I genuinely don't know β just that I use the quick release on stuff that's basically 'cooked to perfection' by the time the β¦ urrβ¦ time is up!)
id skim that red oil of the top before thicking
Little tip. Pop a tea towel over the vent when you release. It 'collects' the steam and stops it shooting to the ceiling X
Another tip! When you're adding water (eg for your mashed potatoes) use boiling water from the kettle as it's MUCH quicker than waiting for your pressure cooker to come up to heat X
Great video Thankyou Vicki. π¬π§π₯°
Pressure cooker is a must in most Asian houses any meat curry or lentil curry ready within 45 mins
A pressure cooker is also known as a crockpot, Victoria. The new one was brought into my house 2 days ago.
I have been using a pressure cooker for years on the hob. Much easier to navigate, easier to clean and cheaper to buy so just going to stick with that lol
Awesome recipes and video thanks ππΆππΆπ
Really enjoyed watching this video great cooker π
Really enjoyed this Victoria. I have this pressure cooker and am also new to it and learning!! Hope you post more video's on it. Thank you
Well Iβm well impressed with it and will be showing hubby heehee x
Thankq
A great video Vicki! I donβt have a pressure cooker, but I am very interested in the Cosori one you have demonstrated. All your meals looked lovely.xxxxx
You'll love doing hard-cooked eggs in it. The shells almost fall off when they're cracked. Love my pressure cooker. π
How many settings does the slow cooker have? Shame they didnβt give you a coupon code! π
Glad you're enjoying it, Victoria. Mine's an Instant Pot, but very similar.
Word of warning about slow cooking, though. Because pressure cookers are heated only from below, not all around like crockpots are, you'll probably need to add a bit of extra cooking time to get the same results.
Not a criticism of the Cosori: from the comments I've read, it seems to apply to all brands.
OMG Vicki you are a genius, I have an instant pot , cook whole chickens and attempt to remove it (badly) with a fish slice and spoon β¦ now I just need to remember where Iβve put the steam rack it came with π€¦π»ββοΈπ€·π»ββοΈπ€―π₯°
Cant wait for more recipe's, I've been thinking about getting a pressure cooker for ages.
I always put a tea towel over when I let steam out x just a little tip β€
Loved this x can we have more recipes using this please x
Oh my this looks good but how much to run? less or more than slow cooker or soup maker? xx
Hi Victoria, just another little tip when you do your mashed potato in the pressure cooker pot to make your life easier. You could just mash the potatoes in the pot once youβve got rid of the water If you have a plastic masher, saves you having to transfer them to a bowl and then have to mash that way.
