Pressure cooker or steamer or something else?

[flumperoo]

Hello,

If I want to cook plain ol’ chicken and vegetables, put it in and leave it til it’s done, would a pressure cooker be best, or a an electric steamer? I eat rice regularly, so think a pressure cooker would be best as I think it would double as a rice cooker. A steamer will cook meat/fish at the same time, but will a pressure cooker? I only seem to be able to find stew type dishes to cook in a pressure cooker, whereas I don’t want it cooked in a sauce. Is there anything else I haven’t thought of?

Why not a gadget like the Sage fast and Slow - it is a steamer, rice cooker, pressure cooker, and slow cooker in one.

I agree that a gadget that can be used as a steamer/rice cooker/ slow cooker.

You can cook meat in a pressure cooker, trivet in the bottom, small chicken on trivet, veg in metal dish thing on top.

It might also be worth checking Argos, they sometimes have 3 for 2 on kitchen gadgets, that's how I ended up with a rice cooker, which I do use. But it does take up cupboard space.

Oh and I'm not sure about rice in a pressure cooker - I think it would turn to mush.

OMG I have just google 'pressure cooker' and it came up with something showing you how to make a bomb!

Actually, cooking rice in a pressure cooker is the preferred method in South Korea. It doesn't turn it to mush.

Thanks Moomin It's years since I've used one

Thank you for your responses. I’ll
check out the Sage fast and slow.
