While dispersed camping, I use my 1.5L Hawkins Aluminum Pressure Cooker to cook up some beef stew. Click here to buy 1.5L: https://amzn.to/2JRzAg9 Click …
Good video, I just ordered one of these, and wanted to get a heads-up on how-to use since the top arrangement is different than most other pressure cookers. But makes sense, and it's supposed to be a lot safer as it's self-locking. For the nervous, don't worry, if the main vent were to become plugged, these have a backup pressure release plug located safely under the handle bar so if it lets go it won't go into outer space. Also, as a cook, two things to try: Many stew recipes suggest you shake the meat cubes in flour, before browning, will give a super rich brown and you can put in pepper, paprika, etc. too into the flour… and it will also naturally thicken the stew when it's done. This would be best if you're not using the bag of store-bought stew mix. Also, when cooking meat, especially beef, and especially lean cuts like rump, round steak, or grass-fed …. most pressure-cooker makers suggest you just let the cooker come down to no-pressure naturally rather than trying to speed things up by cooling it or letting the steam out manually.. that's rough treatment and will make the meat quite a bit tougher.
That was very helpful, thank you!
thank you.
I have been sold on these mini-pressure cookers for camping cooking since I once was fortunate enough to go on a guided trek in Kashmir when my guide pulled out a well worn mini-pressure cooker from his pack and proceeded to cook one of the most delicious curries I've even tasted right on the campfire. He fried the aromatics, browned the meat, then added the liquid and spices before sealing the cooker. 20 minutes later, I enjoyed one of the most enjoyable meals of my life.
Awesome presentation my friend , how many pounds of beef you used , I'm a us navy disabled veteran
That looks goo-od! Makes my mouth water. I’d add diced garlic too…yummy. Thanks for sharing.

I have the same presser cooker. I had not thought of beef stew. Next spring I will be going through Arkansas and have ben listing the camp sites you have shared.
Great video’s and thanks.
In the age of the throw away craptastic Instapot type electric Pressure Cookers… it's great to see people keeping the basic ol' Hawkins stove top design alive. They're robust AF….. with seals and replacement pressure relief valves are still available if and when you wear the originals out.
I've seen decades old ones at thrift stores etc that a few $ will make as good as new.
I use mine regularly at home. they just need a little more standing over/attention than the electric ones.
Someone gave me a Hawkins pot. I had NO idea how it worked. Simple enough. Thank you Sir.
I’ve seen several YouTubers using these smaller pressure cookers. After seeing you using it I was convinced it’d be a great addition to my camp kitchen. Mine should be here soon, thanks for the review/recipe👍
You are eating far more healthily than me

Watching this video has influenced me to buy a Hawkins 2 Litre Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker, same design.
Thanks. 👍
Thanks for sharing I bought a 2 liter I didn’t know how to use it now I do thanks
Great video, got this for car/tent camping since I camp for weeks at a time, I’m pretty sure it would work with my Coleman white gas stove. That way I can make great rice dishes etc at the campsite. I also have a second home in Baja, is a 30’ trailer and I can certainly use this for the wonderful fresh meats sold there since I spend months in Baja before returning to California. Thanks, I subscribed.👍🏻
Yum
a Mini me of mine here
Well done
Thankyou
🙂
Just to add : I was always instructed that no food or water above 2/3 in the pot ….big or small….Im going straight away for this wonderful recipe!!! Thanks!
Hello from India, I can not even imagine a kitchen without pressure cooker, it's so much easy and fast. PV= NRT is obvious here which cooks your meal in no time. Great going. Much efficient and locks flavours for sure.
hello from the Ozarks mark!! very effient cook ware! cheers!
a good no fluff presentation — you didn't barrage us with a bunch of yadda yadda yadda — you stuck to the subject at hand — a very nice honest review — thank you
Hey there! I'm glad to see someone using a Hawkins for camping, because it makes so much sense! Have you tried using it over an open fire yet?
As a sidenote, it took me a while to learn, but there's a technique to opening the PC without dipping the lid very far into the vessel. Here's a 15 second video on how to do it, in case it was frustrating you too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC_vwb1E1j0
i bought the same one, then found this video
great vid, cool to see you inside doing things!
It looks really good Mark. I also have two small pressure cookers. Mine are also made in India but they are stainless steel and not aluminum. They are called Prestige Deluxe. I make beef stew and all kinds of things. Also I enjoy just plain old pinto beans and rice also. If I'm traveling I can put the beans and rice in the pressure cooker put the lid on early in the morning let the beans soak all day rinse them add some more water and whatever seasoning bring to pressure and cook 15 minutes and you have a meal ready. They are wonderful to save energy and so quick to cook. I enjoy your videos thanks again. The stainless steel is a little safer especially if you're going to cook something high acid with tomatoes or tomato sauce in it.
Just subscribed. I’m Boondocking full time. Thanks for the tip.
