انسٹنٹ پاٹ سے چولہا: وقت کنورٹر
انسٹنٹ پاٹ کی ترکیب ملی ہے مگر عام دیگچی یا کڑاہی میں بنا رہے ہیں؟ ڈش چنیں، پریشر کا وقت لکھیں، اور چولہے پر پکانے کا وقت اور اضافی پانی دیکھیں۔
Stovetop ≈ three times the Instant Pot pressure time for meat and pulses, on low heat with the lid on. 25 minutes at high pressure for mutton ≈ 75 to 90 minutes simmering. Add 1 to 2 cups more water.
چولہا ≈ انسٹنٹ پاٹ کے پریشر وقت کا تین گنا، گوشت اور دالوں کے لیے، ہلکی آنچ پر ڈھک کر۔ مٹن کے 25 منٹ ہائی پریشر ≈ 75 سے 90 منٹ۔ ایک دو کپ پانی زیادہ ڈالیں۔
