Pressure Cooker Butternut Rice Pudding Food

INSTANT POT RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Add the rice, butter, salt, allspice and cinnamon stick to a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Turn the pot to the high saute setting (see Cook's Note). Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is opaque but not browning, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 cup of the milk and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until most of the milk has been absorbed and the mixture is thick and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sugar and 4 cups water, then scrape in the vanilla seeds, add the pod and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on low for 15 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 10 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• Stir the rice mixture, scraping the bottom to make sure nothing is stuck. Turn the pot to the high saute setting and add the cream and remaining 4 cups milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil, 3 to 4 minutes. The mixture will be very soupy, but it will thicken as it cools.
• Transfer to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly onto the surface of the pudding to keep it from forming a skin. Let sit at room temperature until thickened but still warm, 1 to 2 hours.
• Stir the pudding before serving. Top with toasted pecans, rum-soaked raisins, warm raspberry jam or cinnamon.

INSTANT POT RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In the pressure cooker pot, stir together the rice, milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, orange zest (if using), vanilla bean and seeds, and salt.
• Lock the lid into place and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.
• Open the lid and discard the cinnamon stick, orange zest and vanilla bean.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and yolks. Whisk into the rice and continue to stir until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. (It will still look soupy at this point.) The residual heat of the rice will cook the yolks, and chilling will thicken the pudding. Stir in the raisins, if using.
• Spoon the pudding into serving bowls, then cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours. Serve with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or cardamom and whipped cream, if you'd like.

PRESSURE COOKER RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Making rice pudding in the pressure cooker requires pressure cooking with milk - which can be tricky but not impossible. It has a tendency to foam and bubble inside your pressure cooker and valve. So, do not open your pressure cooker by releasing the pressure vapor valve. My recipe recommends the cold-water quick-release method. If you have an electric pressure cooker, shorten the cooking time a bit and let the pressure come down naturally to avoid spurting milk out of the valve.
• Begin the recipe by taking the eggs out of the refrigerator so that they can come to room temperature.
• Then, in your pressure cooker add the milk, sugar, bay leaf, nutmeg, vanilla and rice. Stir well.
• Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker and turn the heat to high. When the pan reaches pressure, lower the flame to minimum heat and count 9-12 minutes cooking time under pressure. When time is up, bring the pan to the sink, pour cold water over the top, and open the pressure cooker.
• Carefully, fish out the bay leaf and discard.
• While some of the heat and vapor are evaporating from the rice in the open pressure cooker, beat two eggs in a medium sized bowl. Then, to temper the eggs, start adding some of the liquid from the rice pudding to the eggs, one tablespoon at a time. Add, beat. Add, beat - about 5 tablespoons or more wroth of liquid until the eggs begin to get lighter. Then, pour the egg mixture slowly into the pan while stirring the rice quickly. Continue stirring for about 5 more minutes. If the consistency is still too runny, put the pan back low heat and thicken up, stirring frequently.
• Scoop the rice pudding into individual bowls and garnish. Serve warm in the winter and chilled in the summer.

PRESSURE COOKER RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Melt butter in cooker and pour rice in and cover totally with butter.
• Add the sugar, milk, water and salt.
• Pressure cook for 8 minutes at 15 p.s.i. Don't begin timing the 8 minutes until the cooker is fully up to pressure and constantly emitting a gentle stream of steam.
• In a bowl mix 1 egg with 1/4 cup cream or evaporated milk and 1/2 t vanilla.
• Temper egg mixture by adding a bit of the hot rice mixture and stirring. Repeat several times at least. Then mix the egg mixture into the pot and cook (uncovered) until it just begins to bubble a bit.
• Let cool slightly and dust with cinnamon or nutmeg. A touch of whipped cream would be perfect.

PRESSURE COOKER CREAMY RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix milk, cream, margarine, rice, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon rind in metal bowl that fits loosely in a 4- or 6-quart pressure cooker.
• Cover bowl firmly with aluminum foil.
• Place 2 cups water, cooking rack or steamer basket, and bowl in cooker.
• Close cover securely.
• COOK 20 MINUTES, at 15 pounds pressure. Let pressure drop of its own accord.
• Open pressure cooker and let rice steam, uncovered, 15 minutes.
• Stir to mix. Spoon into bowls; sprinkle lightly with brown sugar.
