Curry lamb in a Tupperware® Pressure Cooker

Curry lamb in a Tupperware® Pressure Cooker

A few weeks ago I did a review of the Tupperware® FusionMaster Mincer. At a recent Tupperware® party I attended I purchased a Tupperware® Micro Pressure Cooker. A pressure cooker that can work in a microwave oven.

With my recent weight loss endeavours, this product will come in handy for making quick meals that would otherwise take hours of low slow cooking.

Tonight I made a simple lamb curry with lamb forequarter chops. I do have an electric cooker as well as a traditional stovetop cooker but cleaning them is always a hassle. This Tupperware® Micro Pressure Cooker is dishwasher safe and I’m looking forward to using it a lot for all sorts of dishes.

Questions and answers

What’s your favourite piece of Tupperware®?

I thought the FusionMaster Mincer was, but I’m really taken with the small microwave oven safe food containers which I use to take leftovers to work and reheat in the work microwave oven.

What’s your favourite pressure cooker recipe?

Chicken congee I reckon. That said, I reckon I’ll be trying lamb shanks soon.

Are you worried about safety with pressure cookers?

Yes, I’ve seen them explode and I’m aware of the deadly force associated with an exploding pressure cooker not to mention the mess that one can create.

  1. I have a rice cooker that does for cauliflower and other vegetables too. This lamb curry looks great and I imagine you could cook it slowly in the oven. May I reblog this in diabetesdietblog?

  2. Oh interesting! I was thinking that Tupperware might have branched out into metal pressure cookers but no. So does it take a quarter of the time like a regular pressure cooker? It sounds like it does with the 20 minute cooking time.

    1. Yes Lorraine, cooking times are shorter and perhaps a little shorter than a regular pressure cooker. I reckon I could have done the lamb in 15 minutes but I will need to experiment more. I have pork rashers tonight. I’m going to cut them into cubes and try for 15 minutes.

  3. Blimey, what modernity is this?! Interesting point about peanut butter/paste. Does that apply to cocoa butter, too?

    1. I don’t know about Cocoa butter Emma, I can’t remember using it when I was a teenager.
      I love the Tupperware® Micro Pressure Cooker mainly because it’s easy to clean.

  4. I am so going to look into one of these contraptions. The microwave pressure cooker looks like a clever addition to my kitchen. I love my regular small pressure cooker, it is so handy!

    1. This one isn’t cheap but it won’t break the bank. I like it because it’s great for one or two people (2 L capacity). It fits most microwave ovens and it’s dishwasher safe. Even if you don’t have a dishwasher, it’s surface is easy to clean. I love the thing. I have pork rashers ready to go one night this week.

  5. How interesting! I had no idea Tupperware did this! Does it give you adjusted cooking times for different wattage microwaves? Btw did you mean 9000w or 900?

    1. The cook book costs extra and the manual is written is such small print I can’t read it Beck.
      I think everything is for 900 watts. I’ll have to correct that in the post. Unlike baking, there’s not much science, I just go with a gut feel on timing.

        1. Beck I just looked through the cookbook for the Tupperware® Micro Pressure Cooker, it has cooking and standing times for dried and fresh beans.

  6. Peanut paste? Is that really peanut paste or peanut butter? They are two different things… Growing up I loved drinking peanut paste soup 😃

    1. Growing up in Brisbane it was peanut paste because in Queensland, SA and WA there were state laws banning anything not made from cream being called butter. So for as long as I can remember it’s been peanut paste to me. I love the taste peanut paste gives to a coconut cream rich curry.

      1. So that’s how it goes with peanut paste in some parts of Australia. That’s completely new to me (then again, from another generation 😃). If I were to put peanut butter/paste into dish, I would like it to be on the runny yet thick side 😃
