Note

  • The contents of a pressure cooker, including the water, should take up 2/3 of its volume at most.
  • By leaving the pressure cooker covered until the pressure decreases, the ingredients can be heated and steamed.
  • Boil the tongue beforehand to suppress its smell, for the smell of ingredients in a sealed pressure cooker tends to be retained.
