Foods Unsuitable For Pressure Cooking
Some foods are not recommended for pressure cooking in liquid. Such foods could expand too much, froth, and sputter, which can result in blocking the steam vent. Examples include macaroni, cranberries, and cereals such as oatmeal. Dumplings should not be cooked under pressure, otherwise the dumplings will expand, block the steam vent, and trigger the safety devices that prevent over-pressure. Dumplings can be added to a stew already cooked in the pressure cooker and gently simmered without the lid on.

“The mother whose self-image is dependent on her children places on those children the responsibility for her own identity, and her involvement in the details of their lives can put great pressure on the children. A child suffers when everything he or she does is extremely important to a parent; this kind of over-involvement can turn even a small problem into a crisis.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“Living alone is good for privacy, bad for full-scale cooking and moving heavy furniture.”
