DESSERTS
Add a fabulous finale to any meal with desserts prepared in your pressure cooker. Pressure cooking gives an even texture to pudding
and a satiny feel to custards.
Desserts may be prepared in oven-safe custard cups or any metal mold which will fit loosely in the steamer basket in the pressure cooker.

basket in the cooker. Then place the mold or custard cups in the steamer basket. Up to four custard cups of dessert can be pressure cooked
at a time. Place two custard cups in the steamer basket. Then, stack the other two custard cups opposite the bottom two custard cups.
To test custards for doneness, insert a knife into the center. If the knife comes out clean, it is done. If not, it will be necessary to bring the
cooker back up to pressure and cook the custard a minute or two longer.
Do not cook applesauce, cranberries, or rhubarb in the pressure cooker.
For desserts, do not fill pressure cooker over ⅔ full!
Operating the cooker without cooking liquid or allowing the cooker to boil dry will damage the cooker.
