Lasagna Under Pressure

- Lasagna made in a pressure cooker takes only 7 minutes. It has a wonderful taste, just like the baked version but the consistency is much looser. Still a great quick meal when you're in a hurry.
- Jak na to + styl
if you take the entire pot out and set it on the counter for about 10 minutes, the dish cools down and the lasagna solidifies, so that when you serve it, it comes out perfectly.
Hi Tom, this was a complete failure "because" the cheeses mixed with the sauce which is why it's such a strange color (I've assumed). Are you certain of your statement? Has this happened to you? That would have been a simple solution to this. Would they have separated if left to sit for 10 minutes?
when do layered casseroles in the pressure cooker, Ihave found that they have a tendancy to fall apart, partly because it is awkward to pull them out of the round dish, but also, primarily, because of a combination of the intense heat, and moisture. Think of what happens when you bake a lasagna normal, and then immediately cut into it and serve it, it has a tendancy to shmooze out and be a bit messy. But, what happens the next day, after it's been in the fridge. cuts perfect. reason: the heat has diminished, the moisture has consolidated into the pasta and the other ingredients. Same principle I find applies with pressure cooker layered casseroles. So, here's the technique I've used: I cook my dish for 8 minutes or whatever, then release, then layer the cheeses on top, and lid it, not under pressure, even pull the plug (there is plenty of residual heat), once the cheese is melted, lets say ten minutes, then take the whole pot, out of the pressure cooker, and place it on the counter (go ahead and put the lid back on if you want), then, wait about 10-15 minutes. This will give the dish, and the container, time to cool down. Once it's cooled down, the dish will be much easier to manage. I like to cut pie slices through it with a knive, and then also, I use a spatula, and not a spoon, to pull out the wedge. Often times, I will use another spatula, on the other side, for the first serving. Hope that helps.
@@Handsthatcook Too much sauce I did it with less and I used part skim lasagna, thank you for the video
@@Handsthatcook Also, even if you cook it in the oven it must sit out to solidify,
I will give this a try. Looks so good. Thanks for sharing
Thank you. A single guy like myself needed this one.
How delightful!!! I bet it tastes wonderful. God bless!
I bet it tastes good!!!! I've never thought to make lasagna in the pressure cooker!!! Thanks, Linda!!! Love your videos!!!
Hi Susan! Thanks for watching and be sure to make the changes I suggested so it will turn out more appealing! God Bless, Linda
Looks delicious! Thanks for posting. I just bought a non stick oval shaped pressure cooker last week called Technique voice guided 6.5 Qt. non stick pressure cooker. I bought a refurbished one since they aren't making them any more. I love it. Will have to try making lasagna.
For those of you that are rude and probably can't cook a lick any way, just a reminder. There are hundreds of other channels out there. Find one with a perfect demonstrator and have fun! No one is forcing you to watch this one.
Thank you Sissie, It's so nice to have someone in my corner. I listed the mistakes so everyone would know what I did wrong and how to correct it. TFW and the positive comments!! God Bless, Linda
Thanks for making this, I recently bought an Instant Pot and am loving all the tastes that are coming out of it. Now others in my family are getting the same model (Duo60) as they were so impressed with it's performance and time saving, and loving it too! I tried your recipe and it turned out tasting good, I experimented with changing a few ingredients, but that's the fun of experimenting lol. At least your efforts give us newbies an idea of how to start...ignore the snotty know-it-alls... no one likes trollish comments or cares what they say and any jackass can hide behind a screen name! You took the time and effort to make good videos, and I appreciate you for doing that.
I used Great Value noodles---they did not cook enough in 8 minutes (still could break/snap them with a spoon), so I then added about a 1/2 C more of water around the rim and used a spoon along the pot's side wall to get H2O to the bottom of the pot, then cooked another 8 min on HI, let natural release and then let sit for10 min. more on warm setting - the noodles were now cooked enough with some spots al dente, but most of them were nice and soft. So appearance wise it can not resemble traditional Lasagne, but it tasted similar, so who cares. The ingredients flavors do get very mixed together despite layering, so you will not get the isolated tastes of the cheeses and layers experienced when cooked traditionally. That being said, the family still gave it a thumbs up. They also suggested that I re-name this dish from "pressure cooker lasagna", to the new name of "Cheesy gooey lasagna-ish glop" . So the new name better describes what to expect, and the purists can go fly their snippy kites, while the rest of us enjoy a rich, rib-coating, tummy filling meal of Cheesy gooey lasagna-ish glop! Manga :)
This is really good and super quick. The kids love it!
Thank you Kara. I'm so glad you all enjoyed it! God Bless, Linda
Thank you Linda. It looks fantastic. I really enjoyed watching your video. I am going to try it for dinner. Especially if it only takes 6-7 mins to cook. It beats the oven method. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you for your recipes ' some people never satisfied' if these people criticize on the way it's made let them be brave enough to come up and do it yourself Stacey' and cindy
My husband and I are making lasagna right now . thanks for the video.
just happened across your videos. watched Lasagna under pressure looks delicious, going to give it a try and I'll let you know. Here's my thumbs up.
This was actually a failure. I made several mistakes and Iisted them so you all can make corrections for a better lasagna. Thank all of you for watching and commenting! God Bless, Linda
I'm impressed! I am thinking about buying a Power Pressure Cooker, that seems to be a great gadget. What type pc is yours? And I wouldn't care if my lasagna looks like it comes out of a blender, I've never made it sofar anyway and I just want it to taste good! Can't wait for your 'revised' lasagna adventure, I subscribed and I'm anxious to hear your opinion on the PPC (if that is allowed here). Keep on cookin'!
Milli Denney Hi Milli, thanks for subbing! I've had 3 pc failures after only a few uses. I do NOT recommend the Elite brand..8 and 10 quart sizes both failed and the company would not honor the 1 year warranty. The pc's took 4 trips to California, each time returning to me worse than when I shipped. Wolfgang Puck lasted several years and I would rate it as a good one. Also Cuisinart has a pretty good track record but I've never owned one so I couldn't recommend it. I also cannot recommend the Power Pressure Cooker since I've never owned one. Right now I have a Cooks Essential and the only one that has actual 15 psi, and medium pressure of 7. something and a low pressure of 2. something. I love this machine and so far so good. The pc in this video was an Elite, that failed shortly after. Thank for the sub and the comment. I'm looking forward to hearing from your pc adventures!
Thank you very much for your fast reply! Glad I asked, about the pc. A few days ago I was searching on line and reading reviews, and I KNOW I read bad reviews about the Elite, especially about their customer service. When I looked carefully at your video I did see 'Elite' so I thought I'd ask your opinion. Thank you again for your help, and keep cookin'!
Good luck Milli on the pc you decide on..and thanks for the compliments!
Milli Denney I have the Cuisinart I got it for Christmas and I love it . It also comes with a 3 yr warranty most others only have a one year. Cuisinart has always been a good brand. Its very simple not a lot of buttons. My friend has the XL it seem to work fine it just does more than the Cuisinart because it has a timer that you can set ahead of time and also has a slow cooker mode the Cuisinart is just a pressure cooker can not set ahead hrs. But I still love the one I got. Hopes this helps you.
ty just want u to know I've made this 4 times! my my wife loves it
Thanks for the recipe. Even with oven baked lasagna, there is a mantra... layer of sauce, layer of noodles, layer of cheese. Repeat. Then cover w/ Mozz, let melt/brown.
+aka gecko Your right and thank you for the kind response! Thank you for watching and commenting.
lighten up people...if you don't want pressure cooker lasagna then don't make it, but don't take it out on the demonstrator.. It might be a tad runnier but hey, my husband will eat anything with a lot of cheese on it. i'm going to give it a try.
+Karen Zimmer Hi Karen and thank you for the support...it tasted delicious. When it's finished take the inner bucket out and let it sit on a hot pad for about 20-25 minutes. That should take care of most of the runniness. That was one of the mistakes. Thank you for watching, commenting and sending some support my way!!
yes, will def do that. I'm sure it will taste yummy. I will prob try GF noodles though, hope it will do just as well.
+Karen Zimmer I don't know what GF noodles are so I hope it does well.
Gluten free
+Karen Zimmer Oh, I never would have guessed that...I can't help you there. I've never had to do GF. I hope it turns out for you! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Yes! I think your right!
I’m just watching this for the first time, I was about to comment that I’m glad you don’t stress out over measurements too much! I believe that people have been leaving very critical comments! I hope you don’t let them get to you, just let them fly over your head! Of course we all know those critics make perfect meals all the time...YEAH RIGHT!! 😳
I love love your videos I've tried many of your recipes and their fabulous I didn't think it was possible to make macaroni and cheese in a pressure cooker and the lasagna was great too
Thank you Margie, I really appreciate you getting back with me to let me know!! TFW and commenting God Bless Linda
Oh yumm! I love lasagne. That's amazing in the pressure cooker. Can't believe how fast it cooks. Mum always used to make hers with ricotta and Parmesan cheese. Very tasty
Hi FitAnge, next time I'll separate the meat and ricotta with the noodles to keep it from running together, but in spite of this, it was good. I would also let it pressure another 2 or 3 minutes. Thanks for watching Ange!!!
Yeah separating would be better. Looks yummy though. Your welcome
This looks delicious. Thank you for your time in making this video. This is dinner tonight! You have a new sub!
Thank you and welcome Susan! Wish this had turned out prettier but I have listed the mistakes I made, one was not taking the vessel out of the pc and letting it cool about 20 minutes before serving. I've had some harsh comments and I appreciate your kindness! TFW God Bless, Linda
You’ve got your self a subscribe from me lol ... I really like your video . You remind me of my grandma .. I mean the way you say “no body’s gunna care about the layers all they want to do is eat” my grandmother says the same thing but here in Manchester UK we say “it all goes down the same pie hole” lol . That’s the Manchester slag hahaha xxx
Hi Steph and welcome!!! I'm glad to have you with us! Well, your grandma is right....all they want to do is eat!! TFW, God Bless, Linda
Awesome, thanks!
Hi Yondering, after making this I decided to put the noodles between the layers of meat and layer of cheese. I think it will stay separated better. I hope you'll like this. Thanks for watching!
I made this using chicken thighs & it was very very good...I've also subbed in Philadelphia lite cream cheese for the ricotta as I forgot to buy it lol again it worked out brilliantly. Thank you so much for the great recipe
Thank you Kezz2762, I'm glad you enjoyed it and experimented with it making it your own. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Looks Delicious To Me!
+Terry Carpenter How kind of you to say that. It would have looked much more appealing if I had taken the inner basket out of the pc when it finished and let it "set" for about 20 minutes....but, the taste was wonderful. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I used your video as a guide. Just made it, as if I was baking lasagna in my oven from recipe on lasagna noodle carton. Followed your measurements of ingredients: used 1.5 lbs. ground meat, small diced onion, 24 oz. jar pasta or marinara sauce, 24 ozs. ricotta cheese, grated pecorino/romano cheese. Add quarter inch of water. Layered in pot, some meat mixture to cover bottom, noodles, cheese mixture, meat mixture, noodles (break noodles to fit), and repeat layers. Ending with meat mixture on top of 4th layer. Cook time 10 minutes, quick release, put layer of mozzarella cheese on top. Let it sit 10 minutes, set lid back on pot or cover pot, cheese melts. Plus letting it sit helps to thicken, does not come out runny. Cut mine into quatered size pieces, 8 servings. Tried it without water on the bottom, did not seem to be any different. For all the harsh comments, they need to stop. PC make cooking really easy and food comes out better when steamed cooked. My husband has a Digital Smoker, which I use that meat to finish a dish in my PC. So delicious, the favor is unbelievable, when the two are combined.
Hi Susan...so glad this turned out well for you!!! TFW God Bless, Linda
Thanks for posting the video. Definitely going to try it. Sounds and looks delicious. By the way, it wasn't a failure. Just a step towards perfection.
+Chancer02 Hi and thank you for your kind words. People have asked me why I don't take this down and the answer is simple, LEARN from the mistakes I made and have a perfect lasagna! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
People are so rude on here..its 7 min! I have used this recipe, and sometimes its runny and other times it is not, but it taste great and it takes 7 min... I need 7 min meals, if I want to take an hour and make the perfect lasagna I will, but this will do for my family! Keep your negative comments to yourself.
Thank you Laura, I appreciate your support and God Bless, Linda
I was just trying to help the lady that posted the recipe for goodness sakes! People are rude to her, and yes they have rights and I have rights, but I like the recipes and don't want her to stop cooking because of people's rudeness.
i would love to try this but i so much love my large deep lasagna tray . and also love when it stacks in a perfect square . but if i try this recipe i think i will let it firm up quite a bit . as i like it not so runny. but it did look very good . this recipe would be great to try when im in a hurry for dinner . have a great memorial weekend . hugs
Hey Kathy jo, so glad you're back online!! Please read my response to FitAnge to see what I'd do differently next time. It was still very good but the looks of it was disappointing. Thanks for watching & commenting!!
***** i do not see your reply to FitAnge ! maybe she is set to private .
hey Kathy jo, she's not set to private but I told her next time I would separate the meat mixture from the cheese mixture with the noodles to help keep them from running together and also pressure it longer ...the taste was great but the looks were disappointing..have a great long weekend!
I was watching this great video and thinking the same thing as Jon Treadway. The PPCXL will let you saute the meat and onions first, add the sauce and some water, mix then just remove 4/5ths of it. You only need to make another bowl dirty to do this! Not every pressure cooker has that feature, so use what you have and enjoy the results!
Thank you Julie. All pc's will let you do the same. I thought the lasagna noodles would absorb some of the liquid but they didn't and I layered it wrong...the taste was good but the presentation wasn't. TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda
Linda, you give us great ideas that make these wonderful appliances even more fun to use. I have made lasagna in my slow cooker and I will definitely try using my pressure cooker; thank you so much for the video; if it tastes good, it doesn't always have to look pretty! Good looks are highly overrated! ;-)
Thank you Julie. That is a very diplomatic and kind way of putting things! I hope you try and enjoy this quick lasagna. TFW and commenting God Bless, Linda
I suggest it's really critical to let it rest for at least ten minutes after cooking and before serving
Hi, thanks for sharing your seven minute lasagna in a pressure cooker. What an interesting idea!! Great job xoxo
Hi Try To Cook This! This didn't stay separated like I wanted it to but the taste was delicious. I'll probably pressure it a few minutes longer next time. Thanks for watching!!
I'm sure it is delicious. My son's girlfriend makes the best lasagna ive ever tasted. I like her chili too. but shes not around now adays, but hope she will be around soon. You have a good day. I'm sure my kids would love that lasagna the way you made it. looks great.
If you make this, put the noodles between the layers of cheese and meat. I think that will help the two from running together. Thanks for watching and commenting (it is good, I promise)
very nice ,thank you)
Hi, although this didn't work out for me, I hope you have success with it. Thank you for watching!!
great recipe looks delicious
shall i ask your support for my channel
It TASTES delicious but I made some mistakes which caused it to be runny...when all is said and done it's a good recipe when it's made right! TFW God Bless, Linda
My baked lasagna comes out runny sometimes too. Yours looks delicious, rich and cheesy. I want to try it in my pc now.
Thank you for the kind remarks. I really appreciate it. TFW God Bless, Linda
Great videos! More instant pot or crock pot express videos would be awesome! :)
Just search Under Pressure on my channel and everything I've done in a pressure cooker will come up and there's quite a lot of them. TFW God bless!
Great video thank you for sharing God bless you Please post more videos
Hi Alice, This is a good tasting pc lasagna. I hope you'll try it and enjoy it. TFW and commenting. I do the best I can with videos...it's a hobby. When it starts to become work I won't do it anymore. I'm glad you enjoy the videos I've made and plan to do many more. Thanks so much Alice for watching and commenting. God Bless, Linda
Im gonna do this!
I hope you enjoy it! TFW God Bless, Linda
I made this and it was perfect. I did as the suggestion said to put a layer of noodles between the sauce and cheese and I used less water and it was perfect oh and I set it to 8 minutes. This is my first post so I don't know how to add my picture.
+Benita Owens Hi Benita, I'm so glad you had success following my correct instructions...don't forget to let it "set" outside the actual cooker for about 20 minutes. Thanks for getting back with me.
The problem or sometimes benefit of pressure cookers is they contain the water. The with that is when you heat things up they tend to release the water in them making your food soggy. As a result when using a pressure cooker you have to really precise about the amount of water you add. Too little and you burn it, too much and it is soggy.
We all learn from our mistakes! I have a new pressure cooker and cannot wait to try lasagna. I did try a pasta dish once, but my pressure cooker didn't come up to pressure. Maybe because I didn't add the water to the bottom first? Thanks for the tip and for you videos. I will be watching out for more of your pressure cooker videos!
Hi Melissa, No pressure cooker will come to pressure if you don't add water. They (meaning pc's) must have water to form pressure, usually, depending on the size of the pc, it's 1-1/2 cups to 2 cups and it can be subbed with a broth but not a sauce. A sauce is too thick. This is why this recipe called for the water at the bottom of the pot. Thanks for watching!
I made it last night and it did not come to pressure either I think the problem is not to spread the cheese all the way to the edges because the cheese blocks most of the steam cause it is dense and all the heat stays at the bottom and pressure cooker gets to hot and keeps shutting off without building pressure I kept trying to restart it got the same results. Husband took spacula around edges and moved cheese and it started to build pressure but still not enough. so keep cheese more to the center.
Debby McGinnis Deb, it didn't build pressure because there wasn't enough water in it to build pressure. When it cut off and your hubby pulled the cheese away from the sides, you should have added 1/2 cup more water. If it still won't come to pressure, add another 1/2 cup. I'm sure that's what the problem was. Don't add the water on top but pull recipe away from the side and pour aiming for the bottom. I'm 90% positive it will work if you do this. Good luck and don't forget to use noodles between each layer of cheese and meat to separate them.
Don't have a pressure cooker, but it looks great!
HI Kim! You've got to get one. They make cooking so much faster. Thanks for watching!
I make this recipe all the time only I use hamburger and shredded romano cheese. You have to use more cheese for the flavor. I absolutely love it. I make a mess when I do it but it is ever so tasty.
+Teresa Maue Hi Teresa This lasagna failed because I loaded it wrong. I started out layering it correctly but somehow got turned around during it. It looked all mixed together but it tasted delicious. I keep saying I'm going to do a remake but I haven't gotten around to it. I like using sausage because it eliminates using so much spice. I've received some pretty nasty comments about this video and that I shouldn't have posted it.....that may be true but I felt some would want to see what happens when you layer wrong and take it out too soon. It needs to set a while with no heat, probably about 20 minutes. Thank you for your comment with no insults and thank you for watching!! Linda
+Hands That Cook I make it like this and mine is delicious. I made it from your video. I love this video..you are adorable why aren't you ever on camera.
+Teresa Maue mine is always messy...I love the way it tastes...so does my hubby.
I don't like to wear makeup (most of the time) and when I want to make a video I don't want to go to any extra trouble getting myself ready. I just prefer to be anonymous. And you have the picture I use of myself from many years ago when makeup wasn't so much a necessity. Use your imagination, add about 30 years and you have a mental picture of me but with grey hair of course, LOL!! Sometimes I think about surprising all of you with a cameo video, but I always talk myself out of it. I don't think I'll ever be on camera...but who knows, at some point I may. It's nice to be thought of as adorable.....a term I haven't been described as for a long while, LOL.....I'd like to keep it that way!
Your lasagna is delicious it sounds the licious it looks delicious and I'm sure it taste delicious once it cools down don't take what is people say they don't know nothing about nothing
Thank you Michelle...it is good...but soupy!! TFW and the nice comment. God Bless, Linda
I wonder if this would work the same in a slow cooker / crook pot? :D
Hey Allan, It would definitely work in a slow cooker. You'd have to estimate the time. I don't have any idea. Thanks for watching and enjoy!!
This type of dish takes tweeking until you get it like you want in a pressure cooker. Only two to feed here so I purchased a smaller vessel to place in my XL. I'll prepare my lasagna normally with layers etc, in smaller vessel, place in pressure cooker. cook as directed except water in larger pot not in with food. Makes a smaller amount and more like oven baked. It is flavor that counts not looks actually. If it tastes terrible no one will eat no matter how perfect it looks.
Hi Sissie, I love your honest reply. TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda
So you are suggesting extra layers between sauce and cheese..such as, sauce, lasagna, cheese, lasagna, sauce, lasagna, cheese? I have done a manicotti in my pressure to die for and it did take about 4 min. longer than recommended but is so so good! Called for 10 but closer to the 15 min. mark. Now I am hungry to try this lasagna!
Hi Fayleen...you've got it! Don't put the cheese mixture on top of the sauce mixture, they will mix. Always put the lasagna noodle in between. This would have been excellent if those two hadn't mixed under pressure. Let me know how it turns out for you. Thanks for watching!!
Will it work meatless do you know?? I wanna make this, but we don't eat meat so in wondering what kind of twerking I might needa do to the recipe? Thanks a bunch, God bless ☺💜
What size is you power pressure cooker I have a 10qt
+michelyne Kesterson-Wright That WAS a 10 quart Elite pressure cooker that failed after 4 uses and so did an 8 quart of the same brand. The company would not honor their warranty. I'll never recommend or buy another Elite brand. Happy New Year to you!!!
I plan to make this, as an anatuer chef myself, I would love the presentation to be a bit better... Looks very tasty, but when you put it on the plate it looked like a pile of crap
+Leaf Erickson make sure to separate each cheese and meat layer with plenty of the raw noodles....also, when the pressure is done, take the inner pot out of the main unit and let it sit at least 20 minutes to set properly. This should take care of the problems. Do a trial run first to make certain. Thank you for your input and the best to you!

How many minutes? how many degrees? thank you
ON high for 7 minutes...TFW God bless stay safe ...watch the video!!
THANK YOU!! YOU MUST BE DUTCH!! Nothing goes to waste ; you are great!!
Hi Bruce, I am what my Italian relatives call a "half breed". My mom was full blooded Italian and I watched her growing up, she never wasted. She grew up during the depression. I carried her cooking habits through my cooking life. I hope you enjoy this and thanks for watching!
Would cottage cheese work instead of ricotta?
yes
:o) AWESOME!!
Thank you Lennis! I hope you try and enjoy this. Thanks for watching and commenting.
:o) Thank you for sharing!! Makes me love my pressure cooker even more!!!
Lennis Williams Jr Lennis, I hope you try and enjoy this recipe. Pressure cookers are great aren't they? Thanks for watching!
:o) Yes they are!! I don't know how I lived without mine for so long haha. One of my favorite ways to cook now. I've always used the stove top for basic mashed potatoes, bland water based soups and stews, ect.,. I never knew what they were really capable of until seeing the electric ones advertised on QVC and the Elite 8qt and 10 qt's which I have now on HSN. :o) I bought mine refurbished from ebay, and have to say they they are diamonds in the rough!! Love them!!
In your redo, try cottage cheese. I think it works better or tastes better. In any case I substitute it for ricotta.
Jeff Stanley I was told I should have taken the inner pot out of the cooker, let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes and it would have firmed up. I'll have to check that out. I will tell you that even though the meat & cheese didn't stay separated as it should have, the flavor was wonderful, it just looked bad. Thanks for watching and commenting. Oh, BTW, it was a mixture of cottage cheese and ricotta.
***** I am an aspiring cook and am sure you could teach me a thing or three. I am sure it tasted good but as you know, eating is a sensory overload. If it does not look good, it will not taste good. The reverse is never true though! If it looks good and tastes like crap, then it just tastes like crap. I am rambling but again, this dish needs a firm top that is dry to the touch. Some things cannot or should not be cooked in a pressure cooker. BTW, I have a pressure fryer. You read that right. It is a pressure fryer, not a pressure cooker. The difference is that I can put oil into my cooker and pressure fry it. This is NOT safe in an ordinary pressure cooker. It can also be used as a pressure cooker. The difference in price is HUGE.
Jeff Stanley I have had a pressure fryer and fried many a batch of chicken in it. It was delicious. You can still buy them on Amazon. I "think" they're listed as low pressure cookers but I also have a low pressure cooker you cannot fry in. I sold mine in a yard sale. There are many times I wish I still had it.
***** Those low pressure cookers were recalled as unsafe. I know what you are talking about and that is not what I have.
They were low pressure fryers, were made specifically for frying chicken and as far as I know they've never been recalled and still being sold on amazon. Also, I've seen lasagna done perfectly in a pressure cooker so I know it can be done. I will check amazon after I post this to you.
what kind of pressure cooker is that never seen this kind
This WAS an Elite Pressure cooker. I've had 2 of them. The 8 quart and the 10 quart. Both of them failed after having been used only 3 or 4 times. They had a year warranty but the company would not honor it. I'll NEVER buy that brand again and don't recommend it to anyone. One of them was sent back to California 4 times to be repaired and each time returned worse than when it left...they were trying to get it past the warranty period and would not replace it. TFW and commenting God Bless! Linda
Where are you from ? I am from eastern caNada
+CheapskateGardener I'm in central Alabama
Hands That Cook I live in central Alabama too...just moved here seven months ago from RI... I have an electric pressure cooker I got at Walmart I love it I never made lasagna in it yet but I'm going to try it..I'm Italian so I will tweek the recipe a bit I'll let you know how it turns out
Tami, I'd love to hear how yours turns out....TFW and commenting! God Bless, Linda
Tami called me a troll??? Who says stuff like that?
Don't add the extra water to clean your sauce jar. A little flour would thicken the sauce up.
Does anyone know how to make Lasagna in the Power Pressure Cooker XL? This recipe calls for everything to be made outside the cooker-- defeats the purpose.
I use this same recipe in the XL. You can cook your meat in XL add sauce but then you have to take it out to do the layers. Not sure what you mean by everything to be made on outside????
This is a dish better prepared in an oven. It is not supposed to be so wet on the top. The pressure cooker is too deep as well, you cannot slice and remove chunks of it from such a deep hole. You are right, it is a fail. It just doesn't not have any visual appeal.
+Jeff Stanley actually if you let it sit a bit it can be served easily from that type of pot, and it is not runny then either, so its not the traditional look, who cares? It's a variation and it still tastes good so Viva la Difference, instead of being so uptight and snippy.
Look when you are in a hurry and you have 3 or 4 hungry teenagers trust me they dont give a rats butt if it is runny or not !! As long as it taste good no one cares . So take a chill pill Mr. I want to Be Gordon Ramsay!!!
wow sorry to hear about that that is a company that i would not stand behind eather
Just a heads up for you and everyone else. Linda
I'm not expert but does it seem kinda soggy or it's just me😄sorry I'm new at this thanks for the video it looks yummy
+israel rojo I made some mistakes...always put noodles between the meat sauce and ricotta layers AND when the pressure cycle finishes, take the inner sleeve out of the cooker and let it sit about 20 minutes before digging in. It should all work out for you then. Good luck and I hope you like it.
+Hands That Cook OK I'll follow your directions your video makes me feel right at home thank you for this awesome all time favorite dish☺
I think you messed up in the beginning when you added water first
Hi Caprices4lyfe, the 1/4 inch of water was part of the recipe (honestly, I had a recipe!) I messed up not putting the noodles between the cheese and meat layers. I don't know how I did it, but I did. The remake should be better. Thank you for your comment and for watching!
And let it set before cutting good vid regardless
You are too sweet to say that! Thank you and wait for the next video!
no water has to be 1/4 inch in bottom of pot to build steam not a mistake
thanks truely, but what i think is you should get your fella to roll a fat one, chief it and about 11;30 he'll definately wolf it.Then you"ll have your pot back to start over and try agian.
LOL!!! Thanks and God Bless, Linda
It's not a failure just needed to sit awhile.
Peach, it did need to sit awhile but I also layered it wrong...thank you for your confidence!! TFW God Bless, Linda
I just want to know how long to set timer, WITHOUT Meat, ANYONE Know?!?!?!?!?
This is just an educated guess but I'd say 6 or 7 minutes....there's nothing to cook except the noodles! TFW God Bless, Linda
Hands That Cook thank yoooooou , just don't want to over cook or under cook it. 🌷
aahhhmmmm Mrs HTC what happened to the mozzarella cheese ,iv'e never seen lasagna made without mozzarella
Honey not just on the top ,but though out each layer
Was that one of the mistakes that was made. still luv ya honn
Hi X....I've never in my life used mozz throughout lasagna...just the sauce, then noodles then ric...layered like that until the top where the mozz is placed soooo that wasn't one of the mistakes...two major mistakes: I didn't separate the sauce and ric with noodles and when the time to pressure was up I should have removed the inner basket, placed it on a heat proof surface and let it "set" for 20 to 25 minutes. Those 2 mistakes would have prevented the running together of the sauce and ric. Thanks for asking such a great question and for watching!!!
u got it Mrs. HTC....... i just got my pressure cooker XL can you show me mc & chesse. i did it 2day & i f***d up ,but it was my 1st use in the thing
Hhhheeelllpppp plzz
Go to my video 6 Minute Mac & Cheese Under Pressure and that video will show you step by step, how to make it. Good luck and be patient...you'll get the hang of it, promise!!! Linda
The Instant pot takes 20 minutes to cook the pasta
+Uncle Bernie The recipe I used was formulated for this pc BUT due to my mistakes the cheese and sauce ran together (the lasagna noodles were perfectly cooked) If I had remembered to separate the cheese and sauce with noodles with each layer AND let the inner pot "set" for 20 minutes outside of the main unit, it would have turned out. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
next time use a thicker sauce,, or open the lid let it evaporate ..it will look more like lasagna...:)
+Atropin I.V. Hi Atropin, it wasn't the sauce (pc's need liquid) I failed to take the inner pot out and let it sit for the mixture to set, just like you do when baked in an oven. I also messed up when putting it together. I didn't separate the meat mixture from the other mixture with noodles and put them on top of one another...a big no no but the taste was still delicious. I appreciate your input and thank you for watching and commenting!
yes it was a great idea, thanks for video!
What lasagna from hell is this lol. I'm sure it taste good though.
+Carmen M. LOL!!! Hi, I didn't take the inner pot out and let it sit for 20 to 25 minutes to let it set. It was too hot to be removed from the pot but.....it was delicious anyway and tasted like it should have....I love your comment, you're exactly right!! Thank you for watching and commenting!!
No.mozerella.cheese...???
It burned my pot. Do not do it
If it burned your pot you didn't use enough liquid in the bottom before you started. You're the first to say it burned their pot. TFW God Bless, Linda
It looks more like goulash " and I am not Italian, maybe less sauce would be better.....
Hi Kate, I have stated more than once in comments this was a failure. I made several mistakes while putting the recipe together...and it ended in failure. This really is a working recipe and I promise to remake this! Thanks for watching and sorry to disappoint you.
I look forward to it .
Me too! Thanks for commenting.
I would not have put this on youtube.... practice... less liquid, BROWN the meat, not boiled...
+Webchez Hi, The meat had already been browned...I followed a recipe and as I have stated MANY times, I made 2 big mistakes...it is left up so all of you can learn from them. Thank you for watching and commenting.
First of all you cut the lasagna too soon you have to let it sit at least half hour before slicing. Also your video is way too long. Most people post recipes on average of five to 10 minutes.
Soup
+Michael Tanner I should have let it "set" outside the cooker for about 20 minutes....learn from my mistakes!! Have a great New Year!!!
You need to moisturize your arms.
Pre-made noodles, sauce in a jar, already mixed Italian seasoning? A recipe? I think not.
Checking for your videos of "real recipes" Carl Dean Williams.... where did you say that they were? This was a wonderful video from a lovely lady doing day-to-day food for busy families. Please toodle off to your mansion and enjoy the caviar and hand-crafted canapes that your servants have prepared, from scratch, for you.
Gross, yuck!
I'd take this video down, until you get the recipe right, this is awful..
+Antoinetta Gambino-Fasano and you are rude...how about you "take yourself down" too?
+Bob OriginalMedic Hi Bob You have gone over and above defending me. What a refreshing pleasure and I thank you so much! Have a very Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year. Linda
+Antoinetta Gambino-Fasano your name says it all!
What kind of CRACKHEAD lasagna is this?
Just stop, Pressure cookers are not made for everything.
Hi Christine, I made several mistakes making this lasagna and should never have posted this vid. The recipe really DOES work. I plan on doing a remake soon. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Lol actually it can come out well depending on how it's made but it's also critical to let it rest for at least ten minutes
A+ for creativity/imagination, however I still stand by my comment that a pressure cooker is not intended for everything. Lasagne or “lasagne al forno” translates to lasagne from the oven. A culinary professional would die at the sight of this as this in not the way the dish is meant to be cooked and don’t get me started on if you would show this to an Italian!
Bottom line is pressure cookers are great and are an awesome tool in order to cook foods that would usually take ages to cook in sometimes half the time. However, some dishes are only intended to be cooked in a certain way, namely lasagne al forno- I mean the name says it all.
This is not a rant, just an observation from a self-professed lasagne lover

+Christine Wilson --seriously, why so pompous...is no one allowed to experiment or try variations that do not conform to your rules...just stop it already with the entitled princess behavior, no one cares. I seriously doubt any Italians or culinary professionals were killed or in any way damaged by this video..lol...dramatic much?
Christine Wilson BTW Christine, I AM Italian. I told everyone the mistakes I made to make this recipe work, and it will if you follow the advice. Sorry dear that this is so displeasing to you. It looked bad because of the mistakes but the taste was wonderful. Linda
This is the most horrible looking lasagna I have ever seen--might as well have put it all in a blender! OMG!
Hi Chad, it does look bad but tasted just as it should have. I made the mistake of not separating the meat sauce and cheese sauce with the lasagna noodles..I've corrected that on this video page. Happy Thanksgiving!!
***** Well I am new to pressure cooking but am a fast learner and am figuring that while these devices are great for certain meals, pasta type dishes don't seem to work well with these things--lasagna should be cooked in an oven so it can hold its firm shape I think. Pressure cookers often make pasta soft and who wants soft lasagna? Perhaps we need that Wolfgang Puck pressure oven....!
I have seen lasagna done in a pressure cooker perfectly so I know it can be done. I also have done a pasta meal in a pc that came out just as it should have so I have to disagree with you there......and I have the Wolfgang Puck pressure oven..better than a regular toaster oven but no box of cherries.
***** Well in that case I think you should do a complete review of that Wolfgang Puck oven. I searched all over the web and there are 67 reviews--all from Wolfgang direct or another 30 that are fake shill ads. Only ONE review by a real person and they didn't say much. YOU can be the first (although from the fact it heats the kitchen I don't think I want one even if you can buy it at bed bath beyond for only $200 with coupon.) Why not give it a shot and let us see how it works. (not that well and fast if you didn't use it for that lasagna?)
I've never thought about doing a review but since you've mentioned it, after the holiday (maybe during, I don't know yet) I'll do the review for you. I'll make a whole chicken with potatoes, carrots, onions and whatever else I might have. Then you can judge for yourself if the price is worth it.
Why one would use a pressure cooker rather than an oven for lasagna is beyond me. This looks terrible. And sloppy to serve to boot. Thumbs down big time.
Hi Jim, flavors infuse in a pressure cooker and there is a huge difference in cooking time. It tastes just as good as if it had been baked in an oven. I have explained this was a failure and the reasons why so why would you continue to criticize? It isn't necessary. It may look sloppy but it tasted good.
Carl Milner Because Carl, this could happen to any one of you, after you've gone to the expense and taken YOUR time to make a video. You all have a right and maybe some curiosity as to what might happen. That's why.
I’m sorry but this looks horrible! This is not lasagna at all. It’s a soupy disgusting looking mess.
I've explained what went wrong making this video....if you STILL want to criticize, you may want to move on from this channel
grandma go to sleep and never go to the kitchen again pls
MR K You are ridiculous and need help...stop insulting or I'll block you. Better yet just delete my channel.
You have to respect others opinion if you expect others to respect yours :)
