You cook pasta in a pressure cooker for 24 minutes? I thought pressure cookers decreased cooking time and the longest cooking time I've ever encountered for pasta is 17 minutes.
- gramie 5y agoI'm guessing that's the entire time, including getting the cooker up to the desired pressure, and possibly a slow release. Maybe only 5 minutes of that is full-pressure cooking.
- tigershark 5y agoThen what is the point of using the pressure cooker if he wastes 24 minutes? Spaghetti are ready in 10 minutes in a normal pot, and with a good induction hob the water is boiling in something like 5 minutes.
- fsckboy 5y agoI'm not him, so just speculating here, but maybe he's making sauce and pasta together all-in-one? And perhaps uses thick pastas or doesn't want al dente?
- wolverine876 5y agoThat assumes start-end time is more important than labor time.
- samstave 5y agoYup. I cook a LOT in my Instantpot. Rice button sets for 12 mins after it gets up to pressure, so its ~30 mins to said rice - however, I usually just leave it in while I cook the other things - and typically its been an hour that the rice is done and just sitting there waiting to be eaten. FYI - if you dont yet have an instant pot, it will change your cooking life. Get one.
- bob1029 5y agoJust to confirm - No, the pasta does not cook for 24 minutes. It cooks for 9 minutes. 24 is the overall time it takes to get things to a state of completion (i.e. ready to start making portions for freezer).
