I am a massive fan of baked potatoes, if there is a choice between chips and baked potato, baked potato wins every time! But there’s a problem. Cooking them is always way too difficult (well too long, but that's difficult to me). Then i realised I can totally cook them in my pressure cooker! It takes 10 mins and the result is amazing fluffy jacket potatoes! I pop mine in a hot oven for a few mins after to crisp up the skins, but that's just me! When i was a kid my most favourite thing my dad made me where his jacket potatoes, these totally brought back the nostalgia. Top with whatever you desire, my favourite toppings are baked beans, cheese and sour cream. For the pressure cooker i recommend Click Here Ingredients:
Potatoes, how eve many you want, roughly the same size Method: Insert the steamer rack into the pressure cooker. Add 1 cup of water into the pressure cooker. Add pricked potatoes, Shut the lid and lock it. Click the steam button (or manual if you don't have a steam function) and set the time to 10 minutes. Once cooking completes let the pressure valve release. Open the lid and eat the potatoes or put them in a pre-heated 200'c oven to crisp up. Load them up with toppings and serve.

The first time i tried prawn toast was at a restaurant in Bali, I've always had a kind of phobia of eating prawns, maybe it was the shell or the eyes that put me off, until i tried this prawn toast and ever since that day i order it if its on the Chinese menu. Prawn toast is essentially blitzed up prawns and egg whites on bread and deep fried until golden and crispy. It is so delicious and my kids love them too. I use my thermocook & induction cooker to make these, but a food processor and deep fryer works the same. Ingredients:
3 Slices Day Old Bread 125g Prawns, raw and shelled 1/2 teaspoon Ginger, crushed 1 Egg White 1/2 teaspoon Cornflour 1/2 teaspoon Soy Sauce 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds Thermocook & Induction Cooker Method: With the froothie induction pressure cooker turn the knob to closed leaving the lid open, set to deep fry setting at 185'c. As oil is heating add prawns, ginger, egg white, cornflour and soy sauce to your thermocook ( or food processor) and blitz for 10 secs/speed 5 ( for a smoother paste keep blitzing). Spread 2 tablespoons of prawn mixture onto the bread, cut the crusts off and slice into 4 squares. Press each square into the sesame seeds. Fry the bread squares in the oil until golden. Chicken and bacon in a smokey BBQ sauce, whats better? This slow cooked bowl of goodness is great served over mash with some steamed greens or a i like it, in a brioche bun! I make this recipe in my Induction Pressure-Cook Pro Multi Cooker on the slow cook low setting. Ingredients:
3 Large Chicken Breasts 250g Bacon, sliced into strips 1/2 Cup BBQ Sauce 1/4 Cup Tomato Sauce 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce 1 Heaped Tablespoon Brown Sugar 1 Heaped teaspoon Garlic, crushed 1/4 teaspoon Paprika 1/2 teaspoon Mustard Powder 1/2 Cup Sweetcorn (optional) Method: Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken and the bacon and cook until browned. Whilst they are cooking add the rest of the ingredients to the slow cooker, mix well and add 1/4cup water. Add the sealed chicken and bacon to the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 4hrs. Induction Cooker Method: To brown the chicken turn the knob to closed, leaving the lid open and set to deep fry 185'c. then follow the above instructions. Select the slow cook low setting to cook. If you were to tell me that you could bake a cake in a pressure cooker i wouldn't of believed you, until today! I was so surprised by how fluffy and light this sponge cake turnt out. I use my Induction Pressure-Cook Pro Multi Cooker from Froothie as it has a cake setting, which is awesome. This is just a basic sponge but you can flavor it in any way you wish. Ingredients:
200g Butter, softened 170g Caster Sugar 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract 3 eggs, lightly beaten 185g Self Raising Flour 110g Plain Flour 125ml Milk Method: Using an kitchen-aid with the paddle attachment (or electric beaters) beat the butter, sugar and vanilla together until light and creamy. Add the beaten eggs gradually, beating well after each addition. Sift the flours together, add the four and the milk to the butter mixture alternatively. Spoon the mixture into the Induction Pressure-Cook Pro Multi Cooker and set to cake in the menu, set timer for 45 mins and press start. Once time is up let cake cool for 5 mins before removing and placing onto a wire rack to completely cool. Serve plain or with fresh cream and berries.
