How do you use a pressure cooker to fry chicken?

Answer by  petra (39)

Fry seasoned chicken in the pressure cooker in shortening but without lid. When the chicken is browned remove it. Exchange shortening for water, add diced onion and put chicken on rack in pressure cooker with lid. When pressure is stabilized let cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat.

Without the lid, the pressure cooker is just another pan, and can be used for deep or shallow frying as usual. For pressure cooking,after light frying with whatever spices you like, add water and leave it closed for 10 mins under pressure to cook fully(for about 1/2 kg. you can add sauces, or cook a delicious curry this way.

You can leave the lid off and fry chicken in it, just like using any pan. Pressure cookers can only speed up cooking of foods that are boiled, not fried.
