Pampered Chef Quick Cooker Recipes
Do you have a Pampered Chef Quick Cooker but need new recipe ideas? Wondering how to get started with the Quick Cooker? I’m going to give you my family’s favorite Pampered Chef Quick Cooker recipes so you can start saving time and money right away.
I’ve had my Quick Cooker Pressure Cooker for years and I love cooking with it. I use it several times a week for all kinds of recipes from breakfast, to lunch, to dinner.
I’ll admit, when I first got it, I was completely fine cooking with my slow cooker! (By the way, the Quick Cooker does have a slow cooker setting). Yet, every time I made a recipe with the Quick Cooker, I was more and more amazed, at the time I saved, the efficiency it has, and the fun it’s allowed in the kitchen.
The Quick Cooker has now morphed into the new Pampered Chef Multi-Cooker and all of these recipes can still be made in both.
Let’s review why pressure cooking is a great cooking method. Whether you are a busy mom, a meal prep extraordinaire, or a person who forgets to thaw out the meat – the pressure cooker (not canner) makes cooking safe and easy.
Here’s my personal review: I wouldn’t live without this in my kitchen. Why?
✅ Everything cooks 70% faster because of the intense pressure created within the pot due to no steam able to escape. That makes it cook faster and at a higher temperature. You can even cook tender, beef stew in about 30 minutes!
✅ You can cook frozen meat without thawing. The first time I used it, I pulled a frozen solid, pork tenderloin out of the freezer and had pulled pork ready in 35 minutes.
✅ It can be used for every meal – from breakfast to lunch to dinner. You can make egg bites, dessert cups, soups, stews and chilis and more.
✅ It’s the safest on the market – from the steam release button not burning your hands, the insulated (non-metal) sides so you won’t burn yourself from touching the sides, and the handles down low so it won’t come apart when you are transporting it.
I strongly believe this is the best one on the market, as I have talked to others who own different brands that do not have the same safety features or functions all in one machine.
