In one go, we can make 2 or more dishes. The key factor we should keep in mind in PIP is that the dishes should have the same cooking time.<\/p>\n<p>My attempt at cooking beef curry and brown rice using the pot-in-pot method was a success. For the beef curry, I&#8217;ve used stewing beef and it will take 25 minutes to cook fork-tender beef. Brown rice will also require 25 minutes of cooking. This was a perfect pair for PIP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is PIP (Pot-in-Pot) cooking:<\/strong> In PIP cooking, another stainless or heat resistant glass bowl is placed inside the stainless steel liner Pot and food is cooked in that. So, we keep a pot inside the pot. Pretty cool, right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do we need to do PIP cooking:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0To reheat food by pressure steaming or simply steaming.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0To cook foods that don&#8217;t require direct heat acts as a water bath: steaming veggies\/cook rice, casseroles, certain desserts like cheesecake, pies etc.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0To cook desserts like cake, custard, cheesecakes, pies etc.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>My most favorite<\/strong>: To cook multiple dishes simultaneously that have a similar or at least close cooking time.
