Working long shifts may result in you ordering takeout or preparing a meal quickly and risking your family's disapproval. A pressure cooker is a valuable kitchen aid. Ingredients are cooked faster in a pressure cooker than in a slow cooker, which will allow you to plan and serve a meal quickly. If you are interested in dinners that don't require much work on your part, test out several recipes to determine what your family prefers the most. 

Hot Soups And Chilis

Soups and chilis can be healthy alternatives to fat-laden dishes that you typically serve and consume. Buy an array of vegetables and some vegetable seasoning. Slice the vegetables and add them to the pot. Sprinkle the seasoning on top of the slices and pour some water into the pot to create a stock. Allow the vegetables to simmer for several minutes. Once the vegetables are soft, pour the contents into bowls.

For a low-fat chili, use lean turkey or pork instead of beef. Add plenty of beans, diced tomatoes, and chili powder to the pot. Cook the ingredients thoroughly. Stir the contents in the pot before ladling the chili into bowls.

Tender Roasts And Stews

You may be used to foregoing the cooking of a roast, due to the amount of time that it takes to tenderize the meat. With a pressure cooker, even a thick slab of meat will cook quickly, and it will still possess the juicy, succulent taste that you and your loved ones crave.

After placing the meat into the pot, add chopped potatoes, celery, carrots, and onions. After using a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat is cooked, remove the contents from the pot and serve the roast or stew to your family.

The Main Component Of Your Meal

If you and your loved ones enjoy Mexican cuisine, tacos or enchildadas may be the main course that you wish to serve. Use your pressure cooker to prepare the filling that you have chosen. Ground beef, turkey, or pork will be cooked evenly, and you have the option of adding freshly cut vegetables to the pot so that the meat has a hearty taste and thick texture.

Because all of the fat drippings will be collected in the bottom of the pot, you can easily dispose of them so that your family isn't greeted with a greasy taco or enchilada filling that is high in calories. Use the meat to fill standard tortilla shells or wraps.
