Updated Index

If you own an early edition of the Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook, your index is missing a few odds and ends. 

My publisher has updated the index for the latest edition and given readers the update in a free PDF download.

💡 Tip: I frequently use the index to choose to what to make based on the ingredients I have on-hand. It’s a huge help!

ERRATA – CORRECTIONS TO THE COOKBOOK

  • Beef Stroganoff recipe page 206 – The second to the last sentence of the directions should read: Add the sour cream mixture and the mushrooms to the cooking pot and stir until well blended.
  • Page 22 should list the Cheesy Potatoes au Gratin on page 246.
  • Grown-Up Mac and Cheese page 268 – stir in the bacon at the end after adding additional salt and pepper to taste, or garnish individual servings with bacon.
  • The peanut butter cheesecake page 284 is pictured with chocolate chips in the batter but they’re not in the ingredient list. Stir in 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips after mixing in eggs, if desired.
Pork Carnitas from the Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook - featuring 45 degree shot of a white platter with three carnitas in a white corn tortilla with chopped cilantro, sour cream, and pink pickled onions garnished on topp
