Title: British Beef Raj Curry
Post by: livo on June 28, 2015, 10:42 AM

Well there was a replay of Rick Stein on last night and I have realised that I never ever saw episode 1.  I have to try the hole in the wall Prawn Cutlets pretty soon, and the Curried Boiled Eggs, but the BBRC simply couldn't wait.

I have the impression that it's a bit over - done up there, but I'd never tried it so I made it pretty much to spec this afternoon, 50/50 Garam Masala / Kitchen King Masala instead of all GM and reduced quantity of sultanas.  I did all the prep using my pressure cooker on saut

Hi Livo,

I have been thinking about getting a pressure cooker for making curries for a while and I see you use an electric one with different programmes. Can you recommend a particular make and are they the results worth the expense? The BBRC sounds very nice by the way.

Mine is a Ronson which I paid $70 Aud for half price about 2 years ago. It has 8 functions and is pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker etc, which has saute function, keep warm, curry mode. I love it.

Unless your in Australia, you'll be getting a different brand, but yeah, go for it.  I use mine all the time.

In England mate, the one you have isn't available but other makes are. Like the look of the Instant pot from USA but they're a bit pricey :(

That's a good spec Naga. I wonder what pressure it achieves as a pressure cooker, as some electric pressure cookers are lower pressured than a "real" hob top pressure cooker.

Sadly, I know nothing more about the multi-cooker. I just saw it advertised and remembered this thread.

It appears to be a rebranded one of these:

Inner pot is removable but it doesn't say if it's dishwasher safe.

Naga, thank you for that. I will have a look on Thursday

Very similar to the one I have. No pressure ratings are provided in either the instruction manual or specifications.

Removable bowl to be washed in warm soapy water so I'd say not dishwasher safe.

No pressure ratings are provided in either the instruction manual or specifications.

"Working pressure 0-70 kPa; maximum pressure 90 kPa".  Also "Cooking with high temperature (110C-116C").  From the latter, and a tabulation of the boiling point of water w.r.t. pressure [1], we can deduce that it operates at between 6 & 10 psi

Very good Phil. I couldn't find any pressures stated in the information on my Ronson, so I imagine this came from the one linked above. What I can say is that mine works quite well and for the money is good value.
