For best flavor and appetizing color, brown meats before cooking. Browning caramelizes the sugars in the meat and imparts luscious flavor. However if you're pressed for time, this step isn't absolutely necessary. In a pinch, you can fake a "brown" color by basting a roast with soy sauce prior to cooking. Once cooked, no one will ever be able to guess your quick trick to your roasted meat-look and golden brown gravy. The broiler can also be used to brown up ribs, shanks or chops after pressure-cooking.
Times in the chart below are based on using a natural pressure release. Use the amount of liquid required by your pressure cooker. If meats are frozen, add 5 minutes to the time for each inch of thickness. When cooking frozen chicken, add 1 minute for parts and 1 minute per pound for a whole bird. Frozen Turkey? Add 4 minutes per inch of thickness.
