Since I discovered the Comfee pressure cooker, my slow cooker has been gathering dust—and honestly, who has time for that? This multi-cooker isn’t just a gadget; it’s a revolution. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned home chef, these five recipes will leave you wondering why you ever cooked anything on a traditional stove.
Recipe 1: One-Pot Pasta Perfection
Ingredients
• 8 oz pasta (penne, spaghetti, etc.)
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, spinach)
• 2 cups light marinara sauce (or your favorite pasta sauce)
• 1 cup water or vegetable broth
• 1–2 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
Steps
1. Sauté: Using the sauté function, heat olive oil in your Comfee pressure cooker. Add the pasta and vegetables for a light toast (about 2–3 minutes).
2. Mix: Pour in the marinara sauce and water/broth. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Pressure Cook: Secure the lid and set the cooker to high pressure for 4–5 minutes (time may vary based on the pasta type).
4. Finish: Perform a quick release. Stir well to combine the flavors, then serve immediately.
Recipe 2: Protein-Packed Oatmeal (8 Minutes)
Ingredients
• ½ cup rolled oats
• 1 cup water (or milk for creamier texture)
• 1 scoop protein powder (about 30 g; flavor of your choice)
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• ½ cup frozen berries (blueberries, strawberries, etc.)
• (Optional: a pinch of salt or drizzle of honey)
Steps
1. Combine Oats & Liquid: Pour the oats and water (or milk) into the Comfee pressure cooker.
2. Pressure Cook: Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes.
3. Quick Release: Release the pressure quickly and stir the oatmeal.
4. Mix In Additions: Stir in the peanut butter and frozen berries. Allow the residual heat to soften the berries slightly.
5. Finish with Protein: Once the mixture is slightly cooled, stir in the protein powder until fully incorporated. Adjust consistency with extra liquid if needed.
6. Serve: Enjoy a warm, protein-packed breakfast in minutes!
Why It’s Genius: Pressure cooking breaks down oats for smoother gains.
Recipe 3: 40-Minute Black Bean Soup (No Soaking!)
Ingredients
• 1 cup dry black beans (rinsed; no soaking required)
• 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 4 cups water or vegetable broth
• Optional: 1 medium onion (diced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 bay leaf, a pinch of chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste, and a squeeze of lime juice for brightness
Steps
1. Sauté Aromatics (Optional): Heat a little oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté until soft (about 3 minutes).
2. Combine Ingredients: Add the dry black beans, canned diced tomatoes (with juice), and ground cumin. Pour in 4 cups of water or broth. If using, add the bay leaf and a pinch of chili powder.
3. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 40 minutes, or until the black beans are tender. Stir occasionally.
4. Finish & Serve: Remove the bay leaf. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice if desired. For a thicker texture, blend a portion of the soup and stir it back in before serving.
Student Win: Skip the 8-hour soak! Comfee’s “Bean” mode does the work.
