Product Description
Product Description
Use your Morphy Richards Rapid Cook to perfectly prepare fish, chicken, fresh vegetables, rice, legumes and even dessert in minutes.
Pressure cooking saves time and helps retain vitamins and nutrients which are otherwise lost in cooking. Boiling liquid produces steam which is trapped in the cooker to create pressure; the very hot temperature reduces cooking times.
The Rapid Cook allows you to brown your meat first, meaning you can prepare your whole meal in one pot. It also features five pre-set cooking times and a two-hour auto keep-warm function. The 6l capacity makes it perfect for preparing family dinners.

(What's this?)
This was my first ever pressure cooker, so I was a little nervous about how it would work. I needn't have worried.
This comes with an instruction booklet, which includes a few recipes. If, like me, you have never used anything like this before, it is worth reading the booklet all the way through. For those more familiar with pressure cookers there is a quick set up and use guide at the start. The instructions include a guide to converting normal recipes to use with the pressure cooker (reduce cooking time by 2/3rds). The recipes include a guide to steaming vegetables, steamed fish, risotto, lamb madras, sweet & sour chicken, coq au vin, beef brisket, ratatouille, rice pudding, and creme brulee. The unit comes with a spatula, spoon, measuring cup, drip tray, steaming tray and trivet.
The Rapid cook can brown / seal food before pressure cooking to retain flavour, and this is a really easy process to do. Cooking can also be delayed for up to two hours, and will keep warm for up to 2 hours post cooking.
For my first attempt, I made beef stew, which is a fairly basic recipe. It worked well, cooking a very tasty stew in a total of 35 minutes (5 minutes to warm, 10 minutes to brown the beef cubes and onions, then 20 minutes with the pressure lid and sealed). At the end, you move the valve from "seal" to "vent". The only issue I had was in getting the valve to close in the first place - it doesn't slot intuitively into place, and that took me a minute or two to figure out. I've also tried steaming fish - which was incredibly easy, and had four fillets of plaice perfectly cooked in 4 minutes.
This felt very safe to use, and I was really impressed with how easy it was to produce a very high quality stew in a very short time, and suspect this is going to become a bit of a regular dish!
I'd definitely recommend the Rapid Cook. Being a steamer and pressure cooker in one, it is ideal for winter cooking. As someone who makes a lot of soups, and struggles for hob space in winter, I suspect I'm going to be wondering how I managed without it.

(What's this?)
Having used an older hob-style pressure cooker for many years, the upgrade to digital electric is a no-brainer... or so you would think. The digital electric pressure cooker takes nearly twice as long as a conventional pressure cooker for quite a lot of vegetables, such as potatoes, but the aroma is much nicer than when using the traditional one. Steaming with a pressure cooker is said to keep more nutrients in than boiling, so if you don't already own one, this is a good investment, but as an upgrade instead, you will need to make changes to your cooking times, etc. as you need to allow around 20minutes for warming up. However, it is low-watt and very energy efficient, so this is an obvious plus.
You do get the usual accessories included in the pack, such as the trivet, stand and spoon; however, the pan insert that you cook in has poorly fitted handles, which can prove irritating as they keep coming off - something the Prestige pressure cooker I have previously used does not. On the whole, however, this is a competitively priced good entry level pressure cooker, which is much better than alternative cooking methods.

I had an old hob Prestige Pressure Cooker for years. The Morphy Richards 48815 is a pure treat to use - so modern, easy to wash, complete with 1st class utensils and looks fantastic sitting on my worktop for ease of use.
I really love this piece of kit - soup and stew tastes just like my mother's did 50 years ago - and meat is to die for. Carrots & parsnips and sprouts and beetroot in fact all vegetables are cooked via function 2 and have a lovely bite with them.
I recommend you to treat yourself as I did. I got onto it straight away after reading the simple instructions.
I love it!
