Recently when I made Meyer Lemon Cheesecake in the pressure cooker, I used a foil sling. Using a sling makes removing the hot springform pan from the pressure cooking pot quick and easy.
To make a foil sling, you just take a long strip of aluminum foil and fold it lengthwise.
Laura, Hip Pressure Cooking, calls the foil sling “helper handles”. She makes her sling a bit wider than I made mine. Next time I need to make a sling I may make mine a little wider as well.
You can save the foil sling and reuse it. I just tucked mine away with my pressure cooker accessories so it’s ready to use whenever I’m pressure cooking using a pot within a pot.

Today's pressure cookers aren't the scary pressure cookers you may remember. I'll share what I'm cooking up in my pressure cooker and I hope you'll share what you're cooking too.

Can any electric pressure cooker do a cake?
I have the Cuisinart CPC-600 which did not come with a trivet and see recipes for electric pressure cookers which seem to have more features or hardware.
Want to make sure I don’t do anything risky/dangerous with mine.
Hi Evan – Your Cuisinart CPC-600 should have come with a trivet. It shows it having one on Amazon. You can buy one http://www.cuisinart.com/parts/specialty_appliances/cpc-600.html but maybe if you called Cuisinart and told them yours was missing, they’d send you one? I don’t know of any pressure cookers that you can not cook a cake in using the method I used to make my cheesecake. http://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?comment_status=all#comments-form
Hello,
I was thinking the sling was to keep it off the bottom but is it to just make the dish easier to pull out – it isn’t to keep it from touching the bottom, right? Sorry, dumb question – love the idea of the artichoke recipe you posted and just wanted to make sure. Fan of your site too!
Thanks,
Renee
Hi Rene – not a dumb question at all. Yes, the sling is just to make it easier to pull out of the pressure cooking pot. You use it in conjunction with a trivet/rack to keep it off the bottom of the pressure cooker.
So glad you’re enjoying my site. Stop by often
I don’t have many recipes that use the helper handles but when they are used, they really come in handy. I use heavy duty foil to make the handle and find that it makes me feel more secure about lifting anything heavy out of the pressure cooker.
My Triple Berry Bread Pudding which is made in a 1 1/2 quart Corning dish uses the handle and it works like a charm.
I also like to store my handle with my pressure cooker accessories because it just makes sense to have it handy if it’s needed, and to reuse it.
Thanks for the post.
Thanks Jill – I need to check out that Triple Berry Bread Pudding recipe. It sounds like one I would love.
Spot on with this write-up, I really believe this web site requirements a lot more consideration. I’ll likely be once again to read far more, thanks for that info.
