On November 14th, National Diabetes Day, Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital partnered with the University of Illinois Extension to offer a free pressure cooking class. The class was very well attended as many came together to learn more about preparing healthy meals quickly utilizing electric pressure cookers such as the Instant Pot.

The class was led by Nutrition and Wellness Educator Lisa Peterson from the U of I Extension, ALMH Dietician Jennifer DiPasquale, and Registered Nurse and Certified Diabetes Dietician Sarah Tierney .

In the first hour of the evening, Peterson talked about the variety of cookers available today, noted the key functions of each and spoke about safety while using the pressurized pots.

In the second hour, attendees were treated to hands-on learning preparing dishes from six different recipes. After meals were all prepared the best part of the evening came when everyone had the opportunity to taste all six dishes.

  

 


As the night came to an end, drawings for door prizes were held. The big winner of the evening was Cheryl McCue, who won a new Instant Pot.
