Many kitchen bowls and pans are suitable for use
as accessory items inside
most pressure cookers. Metal bowls and
pans work best because the conduct heal
better and faster which minimizes cooking
times and even create a light crust.
Stainless steel is the first choice
as it will not react with any food.
Copper,especially decorative copper
molds are excellent for adding shape
to steamed breads, puddings and casseroles,
although it canbe discolored with certain
foods. Aluminum pans and bowls may be
used, but it reacts to many food ingredients.
If using glass (Pyrex, Corelle, etc.),
stoneware, ceramics or other fired clay
dishes you will need to increase cooking
times by an additional 20% to 30% depending
on the thickness of the container. Be
cautious in using artisan dishes as
the glazes using may contain lead and
improper firing methods may cause such
dishes to shatter.
