Poultry recipes are cooked at 15 pounds pressure. Try the following suggested recipes and enjoy tasty poultry in a variety of sauces.
Or, prepare your own favorite poultry dishes. When you wish to seal the natural juices into the poultry, sear to a crispy brown prior to
pressure cooking. When it is desirable to intermingle food flavors, during cooking, it is best not to brown poultry; just cook it in the
liquid indicated in the recipe.
