Veal Ragù with Porcini

Go to Recipe

In the relatively brief time it takes for the veal chunks to become fork-tender in a pressure cooker (25 minutes versus 2 hours of conventional cooking), the carrot, onions and sage melt into a heavenly sauce.

Honey-Glazed Spareribs

Go to Recipe

These crispy, sweet-and-spicy pork spareribs are a hundred times better than Chinese takeout char siu ribs, and they're a particularly good example of what's so great about using a pressure cooker. Pork spareribs typically require very slow cooking--usually braising--to tenderize them before grilling. A pressure cooker does that braising in a fraction of the time.

Caramelized Carrot Soup

Go to Recipe

To caramelize carrots in a pressure cooker, Nathan Myhrvold adds a bit of baking soda: It increases the pH, which speeds up the Maillard (browning) reaction.

Pressure Cooker Pork Carnitas

Go to Recipe

"Pressure cooking is great for braises," says Modernist Cuisine co-author Maxime Bilet. "You can make pork shoulder tender in 35 minutes." Thanks to the rapid cooking time, this dish is a realistic weeknight meal.

  • Flash-Fried Chicken Carnitas
