Note: My pressure cooker instructions says not to put oil in the cooker. This may just be a peculiarity of my specific brand of cooker. Yours may not have this caution. However, I tried it and did not see any ill effects. I think the concern is that oil may clog up the pressure release valve. However, if you clean the valve with detergent immediately after use, it seems like it would be O.K. Anyway, there is no other way to make this recipe. We assume no responsibility for your use of oil in your pressure cooker. Use your own judgment.

CAUTION: The level of oil in the pressure cooker will be determined by the size of your pressure cooker. This recipe is made with a 4 quart cooker. If you use a smaller cooker the oil will reach a higher level. NEVER FILL YOUR PRESSURE COOKER OVER 3/4 FULL (including liquid and chicken).
