Fall-Off-The-Bone Pressure Cooker Chicken
When you hear “pressure cooker chicken” you may think of your mother’s (or grandmother’s) cooking… and possibly even stories of exploding pots yielding ceiling stains (or worse, burns).
But cooking with today’s pressure cookers is much different. While they still yield super-fast, ultra-moist results, the safety issues that sometimes occurred with early-generation pressure cookers have been resolved. Used properly, the pressure cookers of today are no more dangerous than any other tool or appliance in your kitchen.
