Multicooker perfection : cook it fast or cook it slow-you decide

Multicooker perfection Cook it fast or cook it slow-you decide

Book - 2018

"Multicookers like the Instant Pot are hugely popular, and manufacturers are coming out with new models every year. Yet most recipes are unreliable or are designed to work in only one brand of multicooker--and most often, they use only the pressure cooker setting. America's Test Kitchen set out to make better use of these appealing, set-it-and-forget-it appliances. We've put our rigorous testing process to work developing recipes that conform to your schedule: Make a recipe "fast" using the pressure cooker setting. Or, relax and preparing it "slow" on the slow cook setting if you have the right model (as we show, not every slow cooking function heats properly). We've put every recipe through its paces... to make sure it would work across a wide variety of appliances. These crowd-pleasing recipes are perfectly suited to cooking at the touch of a button, from soups and stews like Spicy Moroccan-Style Chicken and Lentil Soup and Hearty Beef Stew with Bacon and Mushrooms, to weeknight-friendly dishes like Lemon Chicken with Potatoes and Spinach and Spaghetti Squash with Fresh Tomato Sauce, to company-worthy meals like Sirloin Beef Roast with Red Wine-Peppercorn Sauce and French-Style Pork Loin with Port and Cherries. You'll also find flavorful and creative side dishes, like Maple and Sage-Glazed Acorn Squash and Parmesan Risotto, as well as some unexpected recipes to really up your game, like limoncello and duck confit. No matter what you decide to make and what setting you choose, you're guaranteed to get foolproof results every time"--

Review by Booklist Review

Not name-branded and all the better for it, the latest cookbook from America's Test Kitchen (ATK) is tailor-made for that buzzword device we all keep hearing about: the Instant Pot. However, fitting ATK's always exhaustive and well-explained approach, these recipes will work for any electric pressure cooking/slow cooking/rice cooking/yogurt making appliance, and ATK has tested them all and chosen a favorite. ATK, once again, nails the effort, including directions to either pressure-cook or slow cook each of these 75 recipes, along with modifications for specific devices (mostly for the Instant Pot, which is recommend but not rated highest). Home chefs looking to make the most of their time will find soups, stews, and mostly meaty main dishes here but also perfectly cooked salmon, no-stirring-required risotto, several vegetable sides, and ten unexpected things to make in your multicooker, which include almond milk, flan, and cheesecake. If there's room in the budget for one multicooker/Instant Pot cookbook, make it this one.--Bostrom, Annie Copyright 2018 Booklist

Review by Library Journal Review

Multicookers, like the InstantPot, continue to be in demand, and the editors at America's Test Kitchen are here with an informative book that explains the hows and whys of the appliances in addition to offering recipes that have been tested and perfected. They begin by describing how the multicooker operates and their methodology in testing brands. Surprisingly, the well-known InstantPot comes in fourth on the list, behind two Fagor models and one by GoWise. The recipes are organized into chapters for "Soups, Stews and Chilis," "Easy Suppers" (chicken and beef entrees and macaroni and cheese), "Roasts and Ribs," "Simple Sides" (vegetables, potatoes, baked beans), and "Ten Unexpected Things To Make in a Multicooker" (almond milk, jam, and cheesecake). All recipes are thorough and detail specific characteristics of the meal. A troubleshooting guide and conversion tables are included. VERDICT The popularity of multicookers ensures demand for good recipes, and this book will satisfy all cooks venturing into that realm.-Phillip Oliver, formerly with Univ. of North Alabama, Florence © Copyright 2018.
